But, why would a mutual friend be with them at takeover talks?

 

Unless he was involved

Because they were very informal which could be awkward with two strangers so it makes sense to have a mutual friend there.

For us forrins, who is this Richard Desmond dude?

He is a financial backer of UKIP, a far right wing, basically racist political party. Also owns the Express newspaper.

Long story short a massive cunt.

:rolleyes: So once again, as we get what would/could appear to be quite positive, it is followed up by locally linked journo's trying to pour cold water on it, and dampen any optimism??

 

Why? You'd think they'd be the ones trying to keep hopes and spirits up??!!

I'm guessing the press are saying February because it takes 30-40 days apparently to do a fit and proper person test. For all that the deal could be complete well beforehand and I wouldn't expect that test to cause any problems if Staveley  is fronting it.
