Just a thought -
As I understand it (and I don't claim to BTW) a period of exclusivity is a guarantee that no talks will be entered into with another party during that period.
There is still no official confirmation from either Moshiri or Textor to the effect that they have entered a 'period of exclusivity' Indeed some experts (well Damo to name one) say that he can't legally enter exclusivity until he gets shut of his Palace shares.
Is it possible that Ornstein got it wrong and that this is just some kind of informal Gentlemans agreement ?
i.e. Perhaps Moshiri has agreed not to open talks with other parties until Textor is in a position to make a formal bid. (If so, then he must surely have offered Moshiri some form of collateral by way of guarantee)
I'm probably chatting total wham here, but I'm just curious as to why there has been no club statement.
