Since there is a report that both the UK and EU will deny MS ABK/Blizz, what concessions do Phil believe he can deliver that will make the deal go through. Since Phil is confident, he must feel that their is something he can deliver that will make the regulators happy. Maybe Phil would be happy with just a portion of ABK/Blizz would be interesting if that happen.

The "easiest" way to have this deal go through would be to have ABK as a totally separate entity from Microsoft (even if MS is the sole shareholder of the entity), with Bobby as CEO and MS only having dividends, and being dealt with as any other manufacturer. But that's not what MS wants, nor ABK.
