Alinghi back on the market?
I had to laugh this morning when I read the alleged "interview" (surely: media statement written by lawyers?) with Dan Meyer denying that he had any intention of involvement with a consortium to buy Alinghi. The latest whispers surrounding the deal are that Ernie allegedly went absolutely nuts (he's done a lot of that recently) as he wanted a 'quiet' sale and wanted to exit stage left with some dignity intact - again this comes from my "impeccable sources" so read into that what you may. Sorry but there was just too much smoke surrounding this 'sale' rumour for there not to be some fire. Now the deal would appear to be off and Ernie's lumbered with a sinking ship that will, in my opinion, eventually be his downfall. Okay so Meyer is now ruling himself out, fair enough, but the strength of his denial smacks of no small amount of desperation. I just wonder who was pulling who's chain here? And I'd be very wary of having a pop at the SA boys...that is just not a smart move! The next few weeks will be very interesting indeed...meanwhile his Royal Larryness is sitting back just laughing his head off at the whole scrambling mess.
