their " interest" will break your heart, and your balls

[holts] 26/7/2004 09:23

yes , but you know they have your best interests at heart.

CORPBULL - they must have been bribed in some way- jobs for the boys?? (the incompetent boys who can't run a bank)

big problem is Santander aren`t performing as anticipated, could be another M&S flop, tread carefully- many said that one couldn`t lose a punt to £4, er me included, but I got out in time- cash takeovers are kiNG

g`luck

did it go to 570p? i didnt even know it happened

[corpbull] 26/7/2004 09:15

That is rubbish compare to BOI and others. Throw it in the bin. Not interested!!

[kaibutsu] 26/7/2004 09:15

yeah, u r right; problem is that figures are based on share price when santander was suspended

[mclellan] 26/7/2004 09:12

£5.76 plus a dividend = £5.84?

[kaibutsu] 26/7/2004 09:11

looks like 563 offer at santanders last closing price. Since this will likely fall further the price is being dicounted

[scotswhaehae] 26/7/2004 09:11

the smell is of burnt fingers...wait a while before buying what is now a Spanish looking bank...

[corpbull] 26/7/2004 09:11

What deal? Shareholders surely must agree not the board!!!

[alan6012] 26/7/2004 09:10

Mclellan - yes the RNS is out (see above).

[thunders] 26/7/2004 09:06

I think If you buy at 550 chances of loosing is very small what do you think ?

[mclellan] 26/7/2004 09:04

Something happening!

[grossone] 26/7/2004 09:02

Im sure results being brought forward for today will judge the final outcome.

If Abbey have swung into profit..I can easily see another 3 banks after its blood.

[corpbull] 26/7/2004 09:00

Even if the board agrees, if we shareholders disapproves of the deal, can they still forged ahead? I hope Citibank, BOI etc will come in and make a better offer!!!Rival bids are always good for shareholders. Who knows what the agreement is all about? Maybe the board members was offered some sweetener which is for their benefit than the shareholders!!!

Lloyds quite easily could scupper the deal by putting in a 10bln offer
only to be refused by the Commissioners.
