DSEI Sale in trouble?

With DESO being disbanded the sale of DSEI is under threat.
It appears that DSEI was announced for sale on the Tuesday and on the Wednesday  it was announced that DESO would be disbanded. Without the delegations organized by DESO is DSEI really worth the £50m asking price? Most defence contractors are already disgruntled by the cost of DSEI, without the delegations (many of whom need to be “paid”) the asking price could collapse. Rumours are that DSEI turns over £15m for each show and that 40% is profit; this now appears to be deeply under threat.
