You may be right, but then why the phone survey with the scare tactics about the SP dropping back to pre-bid price if we vote no?.

Id they are so confident of another bid, why bother to do the survey at all at this stage?.

I think you are giving management too much credit.

Hope is not a strategy but I think management are relying on hope for a better or higher bid - they may well get it but it's probably not due to their strategic skills!!.
