BE for all his smarts has been too clever and relied on his instincts for a deal and somehow ignored the obvious. Now he has a problem and he is the meat in the sandwich, CVC will obviously given him a pep talk and told him to sort it out and the teams have basically told him they aren't parting with any money so he can find other ways to arrange things. I would pay good money to be a fly on the wall so to speak to see what is going on.
I guess because the guy's 84 years old, his view of a positive long term future is waking up tomorrow morning. There's nothing long term about him which is possibly why he couldn't give a damn about anything or anyone.
