Hedging?Are they licking wounds or counting money?
Can it really be both?
an unusual amount of 'hedging' going on here
Hmmm, well, on the surface, it may seem like that but if you scratch a little deeper (and if you know where to scratch) you will see I am in fact, inhabiting the wastelands between what is 'reported' and 'what is'......
I am not gonna rebut this as succinctly as I could but suffice to say, there are figures and there are 'reported' figures.
Some figures are 'reported' to elicit the notion of a favourable transaction condition and there are alternatively, 'unreported' figures to protect one's real position .......
But in this case, it may well be a situatiion where the incoming party didn't have to be in such a philanthropic mood but then again, that's their fault and maybes the over-exuberance of a certain perambulator blinded him and his new, money-clad pals to the harsh realities of tournament promotion on this scale.
I hope it's the latter because it might bode well for Europe !
We shall see Missy, shan't we mate
