Mr. John Mulcahy:

In all areas of life people always want more information. Given an option of bid or not, I would always bid. Bidders can always cover their position by saying “subject to due diligence”. If somebody tells me the rental income is £100 million and will be £85 million next year, there are 900 assets, 55 borrowers and asks me to indicate where my interest might be I would be happy to go with that.
