You might be right... who knows, but if I was in the negotiation room, I most certainly wouldn't show my cards in that fashion. I'm also no CEO or CFO or anything but a monday morning QB on the conversation. Reading the media reports after the fact always sound like a pre and post boxing match...
AK "we would have out bid them no matter what"
JB "Virgin would have been nice to have, but now we can grow organically"
The thin line of truth lies in between the two sides of the coin.

Anyway, best of luck to all involved, I hope it works out for the best.
