As the proposed sale of Stanley Leisure\’s betting shops to William Hill will not be completed until mid-June, some City analysts believe that Coral could still be a player in the takeover saga.
“Ask me next week,” said Coral\’s Chief Executive Vaughn Ashdown.
“Technically it\’s not a done deal yet. Stanley is a public company and its board is duty-bound to consider any rival offer, but it\’s extremely unlikely it will want to alter the conditions of our firm offer,” commented David Hood, William Hill\’s Public Relations Director.
