I cannot see the "Big Picture Six" stopping Staveley, PIF, Ashley, Reubens and their high-end legal teams getting this done.
Our success will be slow, and hard-earned, but is also INEVITABLE.
You can't see something that has already happened?
The PL/Big 6 did stop it; they forced PIF to withdraw their offer.
I have know idea how the legal action will play out, nobody does, but hopefully it'll go in our favour.
To claim the PL/Big 6 can't stop the consortium when they've already stopped them once is just naive.
The Big Picture Six (to give them their full name) will never stop this from happening, and what a strange thing for you to say that they "have" done so !!!
They will most certainly TRY to stop it happening (they will fail) and they are most certainly able to "hold it up" (as they have already done) but you should not confuse 'holding up' with 'stopping', just as you should not confuse 'trying' with 'succeeding'.
And you have the cheek to use the word 'naive' about other people !
If they hadn't "stopped it" once there would be no need for legal action.
I want this to happen as much as the next person but I won't let my desperation for it to happen let me think illogically.
Thankfully, my brain is unable to be 'illogical' but it is very good indeed at being 'realistic' and at seeing through all the crap that hides realism away from some people.
I also know the difference between holding up and stopping !!!
