| 03/3/2021 08:32 | Brian Mattingley - that's the guy who has overseen 888's resurgence if i'm not mistaken. Playtech at 1.54 billion is one of the few bargains left in the online gaming industry. | farrugia | |

| 27/1/2021 11:15 | Good news on the sales process but the price achieved is shocking, and MBO is the least attractive type of suitor hence the share price falls IMO. As flagged a few weeks back i took some off the table but looking to buy back if this adjustment continues. GMR, Entain and 888 all rerating and this laggard will join once the sale goes through and management time can focus 100% on core markets. | rimau1 | |
