Autonomy been naughty

[Francis Gibbs]

thats what happens when you pay 70% above the market value and dont conduct full and proper due diligence - HP only got themselves to blame especially as a very similar thing happened when they bought EDS.

 

[Hoopspur]

You know what it's like when you think someone else wants the same thing as you? HP obviously thought they had a competitor....

 

[brasil_spur]

I am only worried for DL's next sponsorship deal.

Yes. With the stadium deal in the pipeline too i should think there'll be a pick of potential sponsors out there for us as usual.

 

[MR_BEN]

Agreed, if gross revenue (sales) is US$ 1 bn, then you have to have a huge % growth rate to make the future profits justify an US$ 11bn price.

IMO, HP's management themselves should have been wanting to understand how to achieve that sales growth rate or walk away from the deal if they couldn't buy into how to get that sales growth rate.

HP were obviously very easily impressed when they played with the Aurasma app (which is free!) on the iphone and aimed it in the direction of a spurs badge

Really?

Sorry, rated you dumb by mistake. Didn't mean to rate at all. Not sure how to get rid of it on mobile.

I was going to say how would something about HP and Autonomy turn in to a Harry is bent conspiracy

 

[bomberH]

Well whaddayaknow. I managed to get rid if it on the mobile.

The status quo is restored. Carry on.

 

[ultimateloner]

Ex-CEO left for a reason.

On another note, remember reports on the Mansion guy who signed the sponsorship contract with us. 8 million/season.
He was fired for that.

The geezer in the US who signed the mahoosssive new Chevy / Man Utd sponsorship got the sack as well.

Who's the daddy? Questions should be asked in the Houses of Parliament, but someone will ketchup with them later...

 

[StartingPrice]

FREEDOM for Autonomy...this HP deal has got them in a right pickle

 

[Achap]

If I was a major HP shareholder - I'd want the current HP board hung up by their privates - Then I'd [set] fire [to] their arse's.

Caveat emptor!

Fixed it for you. May as well do it right!
