It was hardly a level playing field though, given that Astor were prepared to
only drop the £17million pound debt for Bates' bid. Whilst Bates hasn't done
anything illegal (or so we are lead to believe) there is still something fishy
about his holdings and the dealings during this protracted saga. I would have
been surprised if Bates hadn't won given the smoke and mirrors that have been
used to explain away the finances and the tenuous links to overseas companies.
I can't see this being sorted out before christmas.
