It is well known that Starnes said on the radio on Saturday that the meeting was nothing to do with the consortium and that it was only regarding whether Powers money was a loan or whether it was for shares.
So i dont really call that progress regarding the consortium.

It take it as a very positive step forward and I await some sort of media clarification.
Don't you think that even agreeing to meet again is a major step forward ?

Yes i agree that meeting again is a step forward but yet again if it's only regarding powers investment in the summer then we have nothing to get excited about as people could be getting their hopes up for no reason.
We just all know that the board are not interested in walking away so i'm not optimistic.

Hopefully Bill will ask for his million back, the board won't be able to afford that paving the way for the consortium to take over. Or perhaps they're finding how many share BP has in the club.
No-one knows except the people there. Thats just leave it at that and let the relative parties get on with it. Lets not speculate because anything could happen yet.

Let's be fair it is a step in the right direction that they have organised another meeting for next week which must mean they have things to discuss.
Wilks & Power are not stupid men surely if they didn't think they was going to get anywhere then I'm sure they would tell us and not bother to meet.
I think we have to be patient at the moment and take it as no news is good news though.

if the legal outcome was a 33% holding in STFC, then the person responsible for most of the investment behind the Consortium would suddenly become a significant shareholder and hold sway in appointing the Boardroom. So even if this meeting only discussed that, the irony could be that they end up allowing 3/5 ths of the Consotrium's aims to become reality.
That or they have a £1m bill to pay.
