Diamond Club will not remain standing, that's for sure, so the very best one might hope for is an Avios sub-board branded to bmi - like Swiss has under the Miles & More forum.
But that is optimitic. And likely wouldn't likely work out anyway, as if bmi is retained as a low-cost domestic feeder network, it will simply fill up with the denizens of the BA board, while the bmi international route users will float up to the BA mother board, as those routes will move to BA.
