Anyone actually got even an ounce of confidence we will get this vital appointment even close to right? I wouldn't trust Carson to pick his nose, let alone our next manager

Skybet relative small fry? Biggest online betting company in the U.K.!

How !! Have Paddypower/Betfair, Ladbrokes, William Hill, Bet365 all ceased trading ?? Even Pokerstars have more liquidity in their comparable sportsbook then Skybet

We'd be mad to get a manager who was sacked from Southport....

If they are the smallest on line group, how much are the others worth, obscene really that so many folk must be betting so often to make these companies so profitable.

The surge in online mobile phone betting might be why DA is no longer prepared to throw around a million a year at CFC?
He also sold his London casino for £5 million the week before last, Napoleons has closed and the freehold is up for sale.
Certainly changing the cards he holds business wise for the future.

Simply ridiculous to even suggest it.

[Mr Mercury]

Skybet Davies levelled a bit to 4/5 whilst Law is 9/4, but BetVictor still having Davies at 1/3 and for those who are suggesting Law is very much in the box seat the 6/1 on offer is a biggie..

I'm no expert on land prices etc but £5m for a plot in Leicester Square seems ridiculously low.

just the business and no ownership of the land/building?

Otherwise that’s hardly likely. A 0.9 acre plot of land in Whitechapel sold for that recently. Just land. No building etc.

yep its just the business, leasehold buildings with rent payable to landlord.

But casino licences in London are hard to come by, especially with a Westminster address, so the value is in the licence - Westminster wont issue any more licences so its a case of buy what there is if you want one...

£5m still seems low from my position...

Just put down 20 bar on Law at 6-1

Had a tenner as I typed the original post.
Edit, just tried to put a tenner on for my uncle and between adding to bet slip and trying to place the bet was told the price had changed to 2/1. Although still 9/4 on Skybet!
