NPT/The Football Pools On 21 Dec. NPT noted the recent press speculation and confirmed that it had held discussions with SPO in relation to a potential acquisition of The Football Pools businessOn 23 Dec. SPO confirmed that it had received a number of indicative proposals in respect of The Football Pools and that SPO are inviting each interested party to submit their best and final proposals by mid-January 2016. SPO would then consider any such proposals and determine whether it is in the best interests of shareholders to proceed with a sale of the business.Since then, nothing! It seems SPO did not receive a must-do deal!Just maybe the respective boards of NPT and SPO should sit down to explore possibilities
