I would tend to agree, but I believe 'skynet' has a decent track record and interesting that he has re-affirmed the story.

Me too, I'd love to think we've seen the last of him... but why would he put money into admisistration when he couldn't raise the full money?
I suppose it's possible that, at the time he commited to the exclusivity payment, he did have the backers required to stump up the money. Subsequently maybe those backers have pulled out - this would also go some way to explaining why the exclusivity payment is £700k light.**

All I can say is that I do not think that Heaney/whoever would be daft enough to commit him/themselves to a legal contract to come up with the residue required of the £1M [?] in the knowledge he cannot complete because the funds are not available.
He/ they can sued in the High Court for breach of contract and at the same time interest will be charged on the amount outstanding. There is a standard figure [I think] of 5% unless there is a variation agreed between the parties.
This will be BG's option, but it will involve him incurring more legal fees as the Administrator in prompting action against the Heaney/Consortium.
On the other hand he may take the view that the consortium are unable to get their cash payment act together and look to Brent. This will save legal fees.
If I was to put money down, I would think the Heaney/Consortium will come up with the cash, although I am inclined to think as years pass they might regret it.

No, I think you're spot on Andy.
The backer was rumoured to be Abe, from Mastpoint. Maybe he has buggered off.

It was and he has. Apparently him and the ginger one had a falling out so Abe said see you later.
