I think the protagonists should be a bit more tight lipped rather than getting shirty with people they have spoken to.
This Dubai, pay-off all debts, buy all shares and have £10m left over as a warchest rumour, that's been around for ages seemed to have been spread in part by one of the horses' own mouths.
Frankly it comes across as a bit amteurish and/or desperate.
Again.
