Has it ever crossed your mind how people become billionaires in business? Did you expect the AQ's to simply go with Higgs disaster plan? Ever worked in large projects with protracted negotiations requiring changes? Just an observation - you say "WE are in a very good position to take ........" Part of the team?
As an aside I have worked on very large protracted Contract Negotiations at the 'sharp end'. Sorry NB but you have me lost!

Because they offered money for Gillingham first. It was only that the Gills chairman decided that he wanted to carry on because he lived his club. That's why we were not their first choice!! . So what, they didn't buy it did they! They either didn't offer enough or the seller didn't want to sell. I really can't see why it matters if we were first choice or tenth . He probably had Chelesea as his first choice but couldn't afford it or the Russian wouldn't sell it. The seller Gills Chairman wanted the money but did not want to relinquish control, Scally by name Scally by nature, the same was requested by Nick Higgs, give me the money and I will continue to chair the club, understandably both chairman were advised that would not be the case, so it was cheerio to Scally and following protracted negotiations by NH he eventually agreed to a deal, but not before it was perilously close to falling through, this is not idle gossip, it was put out in the public domain in an honest meeting with SH several months ago.

Ever worked in large projects with protracted negotiations requiring changes? Higgs was effectively being given a free stadium by Sainsbury's so it didn't need to generate the interest repayments on a £50m loan. I think there is reasonable doubt that sainsbury's ever intended to give us anything

From public records it looks as though the Arab Jordan Investment Bank is capitalised at about £ 280 million and the four members of the Al Qadi family own in total about 31% of the shares.
The Four Seasons hotel Amman is owned by another publicly quoted company, METICO, which is capitalised at about £ 118 million and Mr Abdul Al Qadi owns about 16% of that.

Well that's nearly it guys and gals fast approaching 50 pages of total sh**e on this thread and none of us are any the wiser! If it reaches 60 before we get any news I'm going to book a flight with Dignitas travel company anyone interested? I'm going to make something up. UWE will start in August and it's Clark's curry pies all the way. No allocated seating, survival of the fittest, no toilets just a trench, no blankets allowed, seats will be a nice magnolia and the only alchohol is Babycham. Heard it here first. No blankets? We are not cavemen you know. Weal, sort it out FFS. Hamer out.

As an aside I have worked on very large protracted Contract Negotiations at the 'sharp end'. Sorry NB but you have me lost! Penultimate paragraph - last sentence of your long missive. Sorry I should have made it clearer - maybe just a play on the word "we"

Right this saga reminds me of these lyrics " letting loose the lunatics wasn't the greatest of ideas,giving them plans and money to squander should have been the least of our fears" who sang that? The title sums this whole 50 pages up!
