XL Goes Bust

Poolie of Kent · **Posted:** Sat Sep 13, 2008 4:06 pm

Derek McGovern, who writes in the Mirror, wrote a piece in his coulmn on Friday talking about putting bets on airlines going close to bankruptcy, and he more or less suggested in this article that XL would be the first to go bust and had the odds for various threatened. Above it was his bet of the day, Hartlepool to win against Cheltenham !!!!

What do you know, literally hours after he writes that then, an airline goes bust !!!!!

And apparantly a lot of bets were coming in on Paddy Power on Thursdat for XL going bust.

Where did they and Derek get their information from ?????

The XL planes were grounded on Friday (early our time) by the Administers.
This means the company must of been in trouble hence the accountants going through the books.
Word gets out, especially when those in the know start covering their backs and burying the bodies.

Shhh...listen and don't tell anyone......promise?? :evil:

OK...

You can get this information online on a Wednesday dinner time, further enquiries through the appointed body will tell you what you need to know and the bookies NEVER take it on board.

If it's not too late can I recommend that you change your degree to BSc Common Sense?? :grin:

Well, I don't know what happens inside a multi-million pound business, do I ? :grin:

So, if it's not an impertinent question,.......why do you feel the need to post it?? stpid
