I just find it REALLY hard to picture these mystical saviours standing in the wings, utilising genuine blues to muddy the waters, watching us lurch from one disaster to the next, without leaking their intentions. Mosh would face the choice of waiting for a 777 miracle (if we accept they are as unlikely to be approved as it would seem), or accept it’s a dead end, accept a greater personal loss and be out in 6 weeks, which does seem to be his aim.If you agree with that premise, I'm not sold on it.
I don't think Moshiri cares about media pressure, he just wants out. 777 likely figure they can ride it out and put their spin on it should the transaction go through. And if it doesn't, they've not lost and PR capital.
He’s shown repeated ineptitude, but with a transaction this size and this complexity with multiple massive creditors, there will be plenty of genuinely sensible legal and financial professionals involved, and if there was a more realistic option they should steer him towards it, if that option was genuine and known.
A formerly massive but now struggling UK motor dealer group agreed a sale to a US company last year. (Sound familiar). Before the shareholders meeting to approve, an unsolicited offer came in from a different group. Nothing to stop that. Different here because the 2nd offer would definitely be less than the 777 offer. But it’s an offer worth making if the whole world seems confident Mosh’s first choice isn’t going to happen.
I fully admit i’m clouded on this and groping for some hope, just because I find the idea of these saviours waiting until the club is utterly cratered and worth £1 before buying, then I hate them already.
It’s an absolute mess to be fair. Every single part of it.
