Post: #10 RE: Takeover is orf Saying there's no deal on the table is different from saying no offer, stands to reason that if there was a deal on the table then the street parties would already be being organised. There wasn't any deal yesterday either, or the day before etc etc, so not sure if the wording is just wrong. I'm no deal maker, but even I know that the first rule of negotiation is that your opposite needs to know that you'll walk away, sometimes for show sometimes for definite, god knows what tricks the fat fool is up to. Mind, if Staveley's lot are as minted as they're perceived, why not just pay the fat cunt what he wants and re-coup with new tv money after doing the important stuff and actually stopping up?

Rookie mistake, how on earth did she get as far as she has in business?? Nose tappage and pavement pizzas are the fundamentals of business ffs? Sounds like we dodged a bullet there.

Venegoor Captain Posts: 38,655 Joined: Jan 2009	Post: #29 RE: Takeover is orf Didn't .cock confirm an offer had been refused at the end of last year? Jinky may be close to it, fatty's heard of another player and wants an auction, which he was wanting in the first place. Rafa's reaction is the one to watch, particularly as the beeb reported fatty has given the green light for 3 signings. Oneupmanship seems the name of the game.
