mos takeover, page-9

"MOS have some good assets and will be a good fit for COE. Terrible management which will no doubt be replaced by the boys at cooper." Tony ,you make it sound oh so easy.Have they got "boys at cooper" sitting around doing nothing that can replace "Terrible management" at MOS.It is my understanding that there is a skills shortage in the industry and that the "boys at cooper" would already be straining under their work load.COE would be more likely to merge with MOS rather than attempt a T/O.I still think this is something else entirely.Who anticipated the RION deal?I think it will be a bid for a share of some acreage with some of the bigger players who can also supply rigs ,operator staff etc.COE's strength has been in its management & its focus and I dont think they will change to spreading themselves too thin.Why change what has been a successful strategy?
