English term or phrase: to go down
I have to tell you about XXX plc.
The new CEO has been in for six months and is itching to launch his first takeover bid.
They have to go for XXX plc, but that is not going to go down very well in the market.

I'd say that XXX is as good a candidate for short selling as there ever was.
