I'd rather you hung a certain cowboy.......not Hicks though

Surely this means that if Hicks wants to buy Gillett out then he'll have to stump up over £200 mil

Where did the Gillet stuff come from ?

Can't remember - one of the offer rejected articles from the last 30 mins or so

Here in fact

Hicks "turned down their offer immediately upon receipt," the person said.

Gillett, whose relationship with Hicks has reportedly broken down, rejected DIC's bid because he believes the private-equity investment arm of the Dubai government underestimated the value of his 50 percent stake. He was "low balled," the person said.

Having failed in hanging myself, I am a little calmer.

I think this is all about haggling TBH at the mo. Like it has been said, the parties have met & if DIC didnt think they would get anywhere, they wouldnt have made an offer, they'd have just said "we cannot come to an agreement" & just buggered off.

However, I have stocked up on 50 packets of paracetamol just in case. Shaggy- wake up, you can have yer noose back.

Lots of different sources seem to be getting this story now, although they all quote the AP.

This really is a rollercoaster of a thread!!

The voices in my head tell me that if I sacrifice 12 prostitutes and a goat, DIC WILL buy the club by Monday. FACT.

Now where am I going to find that goat?

Setanta news is now reporting that Hicks has not formally rejected the bid but remains unwilling to sell.
