SYA - PLL OTA Clarification, page-94

That's fine Y4 ... just pointing out that's not what I said. I understand your frustration and disgust for this board BUT in business you get what you negotiate (ever heard of driving a hard bargain). I guess absent better offers, PLL was the best option presented to the board. If you think this is the first time a board has accepted a deal that hasn't necessarily been the best deal - but the best deal available at the time - then that's naivety, sorry. They are not teammates. They are participants in a joint venture whereby each participant makes certain (I would say well documented) commitments to one another.

To you football analogy (and I'm not an AFL watcher) your weaker player marks the ball and knows he does not have the distance to kick the goal. So with the clock winding down he hand balls to a stronger player and ... what happens next
1. Shitty handball and stronger player fumbles and you miss out on grand final
2. Good handball but stronger player inexplicably fumbles and you miss out on grand final
3. Good handball and stronger player catches and kicks but wide of the goal and you miss out on grand final
4. Good handball and stronger player catches and kicks and scores the goal and you make the grand final

and so on.

Now if you mean what you say about "after the terms of the Offtake was fully known to me" which was long ago now (this is not recent news), then you should have exited long ago ... isn't that also a fair analogy?

Anyway it is what it is.
