Claiming that they had 40 million pounds Sterling of unwanted product foisted upon them by by Rover in cahoots with financier Capital Bank, MG Rover dealers are madder than a hornet trapped in a diving bell with an epileptic. Apparently, some dealers were worried about losing their franchises if they didn't agree to take the vehicles. Of course, in hindsight, we can see that it was simply prolonging the inevitable for the poor saps. No word yet on whether they've decided to take the soccer-hooligan approach to their beef with Capital Bank, though.
