IMO MG is still not serious about a contract. He faking concern in the hopes that his new pipeline of newbies along with a ton of guys being furloughed from the majors will solve the shortage for G4.
Meanwhile he is enjoying the low stock price where he does a combined company buy back policy at the same time as privately buying as much as he can at these record low prices.
He is stringing us along folks, He is playing us. And we are falling for it. But that's ok cos we be home every night!
