Only one thing missing from that, the one thing he has mentioned in every fecking interview recently.....35 years....35 years....35 years.... Actually come to think of it Roy is starting to remind me of Grandpa from Only Fools & Horses...
Agree, really worth watching as Peston asks some great questions, much better than the stuff on Sky/LFC.tv (to be expected though as he is a business journo iirc).
Full Interview from the Beeb: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/robertpeston/2010/10/broughton_i_have_the_power_to.html I have the power! MB = He Man?
MB definitely talks a good game, you can just imagine the legal workings that must have gone on for them to be in this position and be so confident of the sale. It bodes well but i wont get too happy till its confirmed!
If its a seperate entity and they are personally liable then I dont think RBS will let up, if it doesnt effect LFC i reckon they wont stop and will chase them till they get it! woohoo - karma
More: MB Sky They G&H gave written commitments to RBS that they wouldnt intefere with the sale, there act of blocking the sale is in breach of this agreement - this should all contribute to the G&H being screwed
To add to that: When questioned about the penalty fees etc that are payable to RBS, he said that was confidential between the owners (current i would assume) and RBS... Is that circa 40million? That to me sounds like they are liable - wouldnt that be great!
Comment from MB - on sky sports news, part of the terms of the his appointment is that only he could change the board, the same commitments to RBS too If thats true then H&G should be screwed
