13 this year is arguably worth a top 5-8 in previous years the evenness of the top 15-20.Our offer still clearly better if you value our and Pies F1 similar.
We are offering F1 + F2 for 13.
Pies essentially want F1 for 13 in a straight swap and want 23 for Noble which is overs.
I don't think we can up our offer. They can concede 23 and ask for 29 for Noble. Even then it is highly arguable whether Noble is worth that and they'd be accepting F1 for 13 in a straight swap.
They'd be better off taking our F1 + F2 for 13 early. Then deal separately on Noble. Pies will be forced to deal on Noble regardless but as long as GC have 13 they will drag it out.
