This is very good news. Just reading about it on the echo site and there are a number of things to take out of it. Firstly they met, earlier on in the week the mood was they are not going to meet because there was no formal bid on the table. Second RBS has made there stance very clear, October 6 they are calling in the loan END OF, so no matter what that's the final date, But to turn the screw on the owners (who are plainly trying to slow down and interrupt the process all the time) fines are going to start from the end of the month, 20 million to start with, This will NOT happen if there is REAL progress in the sale and should be viewed as the RBS shown they mean business.
So i view the meeting as a kick in the teeth to Hicks and Gillett, that they are not going to stop or interfere anymore in this. There man (Kardi) is the one releasing and leaking everything to the press. I think things will move very swiftly now and the prove will be that this is the case is if we hear nothing from the two owners
