The Boards refusal to put a valuation on RM or it's assets is a total disgrace and their advisors too!

City investors are to vote against Daniel Kretinsyy's 'grubby deal' there's nothing to like and it undervalues the company's true worth. He'll have to sweeten the offer considerably to get investors onside. The risk is always he walks away. Interesting times. I'm not voting for it.

It's like living in Russia, North Korea, Iran or China..."It signalled that investors do not yet see it as a done deal, with regulators and politicians still needing to be convinced, and a new Government potentially in place within weeks."

The offer will be accepted , but will it be allowed ?
--------------------------------------------------------------

I think the Government would struggle to find a logical argument against it. He already passed the "proper person" test when he upped his stake and virtually every one of the essential services in the entire UK are owned by foreign investors already.

I will be perfectly happy to work under the new management but I think I will be in a minority. The look on the Union reps faces when the news broke this afternoon was absolutely priceless. Absolutely panic stricken. They all rushed off to have a meeting. (not doubt planning a series of protests, strikes and other forms of industrial skullduggery)

Me? Just loving it. 6 vans on the road and in a win win situation. Bring on the Union, bring on the Government. The only way is up.

If the offer goes through, I trouser an immediate 73% profit. If it doesn't, I will double or treble my investment when the ridiculous, outdated USO is shredded and thrown in the bin. I will have to wait longer but make more in the long run.

Good luck to all,

Largest Shareholders are saying bid is undervalued and blaming (rightly so) Ofcom and HMG for completely ignoring a need for change with the USO!

This is what happens when you have a Free market with undervalued assets. Can you blame Kretensky? He is just taking advantage of the markets.
BT is in a similar and very vulnerable position, whereby two foreign investors own nearly 40%

If it's floated and there is no Golden share then it's game, not much Government can do about it.
IDS needs to make a good defense on how much and their advisors think they are worth.

It's a potshot to see what investors think,if they make a formal bid it probably won't be over 400p - maybe 350p - 370p or so.

CWU RESPONSE TO BREAKING NEWS OF POTENTIAL ROYAL MAIL TAKEOVER
The breaking news of an impending takeover bid for Royal Mail Group (IDS) by Daniel Kretinsky is another significant moment.
The truth is handing over the ownership of one of the UK’s most prestigious institutions to a foreign equity investor cannot be right. But neither is the current model or direction of the company.
The truth is Royal Mail needs a new ownership and governance model that builds a postal service for the workers and customers and not one built solely focused on shareholder payouts and driving down the service and the terms and conditions of the workers.
The CWU will be campaigning publicly and politically to deliver this change of direction.

I live in despair of this useless company. Today is one of the most significant birthdays of my life and what do I receive in the way of post? ZERO. No cards, no bills , no Chronic Investor - Nothing. Like Wednesday, Monday & last weekend. Nothing. If I am lucky I get two deliveries a week. They should sack the lot of them and give the franchise to a company that can do the job properly. I live in the London suburbs, not the Outer Hebrides. This lack of service is inexcusable.

Then the Government in it's wisdom is making it even worse by curtailing CGT limits to almost nothing. They certainly aren't encouraging Investors but turning them to the much more dangerous SB sites.
Crazy!!
