The share price tells the story; somebody thinks a counter bid may be on its way. However there isn't, at this stage, much substance to it, as the share price is only just over 800p. Sit tight & wait & see!!!

A major investor in Scottish & Newcastle said the company should stop "splitting hairs" over the bid from Carlsberg and Heineken
and start takeover talks now the consortium is now offering "a good price".

Carlsberg and Heineken raised their bid for S&N to 780 pence per share
yesterday and called on the UK brewer's shareholders to pressure it into
securing a deal before the Takeover Panel's Jan 21 deadline.

A major investor, who declined to be named, told Thomson Investment
Management News: "S&N are being rather pedantic when they should rather start
trashing the deal out."

The investor said it has made clear an offer of around 770p per share should
have been enough to start talks with the Carlsberg/Heineken consortium.

Describing S&N's demand for a higher cash as an attempt to remain
independent rather than to get better value for shareholders, the investor said:
"It is splitting hairs." "They are pushing it, it is only 2 pct more on the price and they should get on now because it is good value," it added. "They put on a good fight and they have reached a good price; they have done well. But now they should get down to it."

The investor was also sceptical about the brewer's latest move to appoint
Ernst & Young to produce an independent report into Baltic Beverages Holding
(BBH), the joint venture with Carlsberg.

"We did not expect it but we were not surprised. It is their strategy to
push the price up to defend themselves. They keep creating another thing to
delay the inevitable," it said. "They are fiercely independent and their actions would suggest they do not want this bid but it is impossible to say what will happen.

The investor added: "It may be that the consortium will come back with the
800p (offer). What would they say then? It would be interesting to see that."

Carlsberg and Heineken have until Jan 21 to put forward a formal offer.

would sell if i could get the stock released. Amazed the bidders haven't started touting institutions, surely given market conditions they'd take 750p. There's no way this share price could be achieved without a bid not with these donkeys running the show.

I've decided to take the money and run, selling at 758.5p on the assumption that Carlsberg's derisory offer will depress the share price in the short term.

I may come back in if the price falls significantly following the anticipated statement from Carlsberg (after all, they may walk away).

Once again I see that SAB will be a little poorer should they decide to pounce now, as will BBJL and his mates (does he have any?) if they are daft enough to be still short.

On the rumour mill, I note that Thomson Financial has turned yet another "no comment" - this time from Diageo - into a denial.

In case you wern't already aware, today's surge in the SCTN share price is on the back of news that Carlsberg plans to radically alter its share structure, thus making a takover/merger more feasible (family controlled, it is currently almost impossible for Carlsberg to jump on the consolidation bandwagon)

Musings on the recent sctn action.
Assuming, as has long been mooted, SABM are interested in part or all of sctn.
A SABM offer 710p would almost certainly be successful.
Even the recent past share price of 500p to 550p was thought by many to have a bid element.
SABM are reluctant to bid 710p and think sctn is worth less, at least to them, but think that a bid of say 625p to 650p would not be successful.
SABM think/hope that, in time, the share price will fall back and a bid of max. 650p, be successful.
Are there any other likely interested parties?

Funny , looking at the FT report , that their plans should be disrupted by an unexpected rise in the SCTN share price.Isn't that normally what happens when there are bid talks ? Or did they expect perfect security?

I have no idea whether BobaJob replied to my question as he is too filtered.

However, I thought it worth pointing out that between his last post on here (31 May 06) and his unfortunate return (20 Feb 07) the SCTN share price increased from 495p to 552p (* Close price adjusted for dividends and splits)

'nuff said...?

You will find alot of jealousy on here, mainly from those who failed to capitalise on opportunities when the SCTN share price was below 400p.

I am confident enough to back up your views even on a day like today when the share price is falling.

I too am sitting on what I consider to be a very safe (if not infalible - nothing is certain in this game) capital gain, whilst at the same time enjoying a very good yield (5.6% at my purchase price).

Since the market has recovered, there are very few - if any - similar opportuntities left out there and Like you I would be happy to hear some of the doubters' stock picks.

p.s. if it was post 1542 you were responding to, I filtered that writer ages ago

SCTN share price continues to look weak, even though it remains 100p+ above my purchase price.

So, is this another buying opportunity or are we about to see an imminent break down through the 460p support level? Girlie, if that happens then you might get your 445p after all... but I guess you already know that LOL

Me? I'm HOLDing firm, until the dying death (or takeoever, whichever comes sooner LOL)
