Phil's plan is already out there. He wants 65-85 a share. Not 40 and wait for another year to MAYBE get another 25.

I think we have a pretty good idea of what a Phil takeover would look like. The question being would Total continue its development of Papua LNG and I believe that probability is quite high. Phil would like some money to get proper measurements from TBR and get that well sunk down in Antelope South. A piece of the PPLs to Total for $$$ would do the trick. Or hibernate.
Phil is also giving everyone a second alternative and that is to save alot of heartache by improving pricing. That however is problematic as OSH, IOC and TOT are all partners to the agreement with OSH and IOC sworn to be mute. It is awfully hard to have a conversation when one side has a gag order in place. Hession. What an ass.
I'm now wondering just how true all the allegations of unpopularity were with respect to Phil. This board has carried a lot of condemnation, but other than not getting the big deal done there doesn't seem to be much of substance. We see character assassins almost every day in our life. Were some employed here? Just wondering. Botten must be a real character to have lasted so long himself in that environment.
In any event the biggest downside to overturning this deal, other than another short term stock buying opportunity, is OSH's ability to pay Pac LNG and still have money to fund construction. Maybe there's a deal there. Pac LNG forgives cash payments and takes shares of OSH instead. After all, isn't everyone better off ultimately when there is a lot more gas in the ground than originally thought?
