Easy to see how they might put their hands in their pockets...
They took over CPP (Coventry Prototype Panels), so lets consider some recent history of their design and build capabilities and the kind of people they do work for:

What a right motley crew in this pictuire -
that poor bloke at the front looks like he has either lost a lot of weight or borrowed a suit for the photograph, and it looks like there is a blue cable coming out of his right foot - presumably to give him electric shock treatment ? Or maybe it's a footpump to keep thew nsf tyre pumped up for the picture
The middle guy doesn't know how to tie his tie or button his collar- or make the tie the right length...
As for the one at the back - he looks like he could be Boyce from Only Fools and Horses - oh no sorry - I forgot he's the dutch guy who messed up Spyker and Saab once and for all ! actually thinking about it - maybe the Boyce comment wasn't so wide of the mark afterall

He didn't mess up Spyker. Their union with Saab meant they could walk away debt free to allow him to indulge his fantasies of being a supercar manufacturer by producing a concept car every year which then hasn't got a chance of ever being built. If Aston Martin have done a deal with him, it had better be for cash.

Seems plausible! Good move for Morgan if so.hyphen said:
Add 20m more to the company so it looked better for the IPO?
The IPO where the CEO stood to make a whole load of cash,

and that went wrong for the employees who invested. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2018/10/21/as...
The whole thing stinks if you ask me.
