You beat me to it Adrian. I was about to post this but saw you'd done so already. Thanks for putting this up. I have mulled buying into these before, but there always seemed to be better options elsewhere at the time.

I have received an email from Youinvest today that that the directors of WMH are recommending the sale of WMH to Caesars for a price of 272p per share.

So a good increase on the current price, although it looks like some were in the know going by the price increase in September as it seems Caesars approached WMH on Sept 1st.
