Well, if someone offered to buy my business in a deal worth what, 30, 40 or 50 million, I really wouldn't take them seriously if the offer came in the form of an e-mail. |

Surely an electronically signed offer as an an attachment is perfectly normal? It's not all wax sealed parchment these days. I worked in a company dealing in 15M pound orders for Rolls Royce and it was all electronic "paperwork". |

I work in a company with a MONTHLY turnover of over 200 BILLION Euros (take that Hugo you small fry!), and it's all electronic. It's one thing to do this with an accepted system, but we are talking about a one-off purchase, with the added complications regarding land, debts, buildings, rights etc etc. So, in regards to Bristol Rovers I do feel that an electronic offer would not be acceptable way of doing business. |

Nick, following relegation you were asked if you felt you / the board had done a good job. Your reasoning for why you had was the lack of external debt.
Now that we have a £2.5m external loan at 13% annual interest do you feel yourself and the board are doing a good job?

Imagine the subject header with that one. |

Maybe the consortium should have put it on a fag packet then. Ignoring emails is a ridiculous way to run a business isn't it? |
