Well I spent quite a bit of a long train journey on Friday on here trying to establish what the evidence was and it boiled down to not much from what I could make outJ BLOCK said:

So do we take it from that that the directors with an Interest have been contacted in order to fill some of the 'potholes'? and my source is indeed telling porkies?

If you've ever bought a house, it's quite usual for the buyer's solicitor to ask for things from the seller - warranties for improvements, etc - that haven't been put on the table at the outset. A business is a lot more complicated, obviously, but I assume it's the same principle.
By your analogy, I guess problems are effectively down to value versus actual state - for instance a buyer would pay say £1m for a larger well maintained car park but due diligence has found that there are potholes everywhere!?
If it doesn't happen it will be for various reasons but not because there isn't serious interest.1 -
#3 Please can you lower the £50M asking price ?Alwaysneil said:#1 please can we have a copy of the warranty for the boiler for the undersoil heating
#2 please can we see the safety inspection records clearing the tannoy system

105 new posts - nothing of note to make me think more positively or negatively about the goings on.0

Well this latest round of “updates” seems to point towards this leading to a conclusion well before January. One way or the other.3

I have absolutely no doubt, 100%, that the club has been responding to questions that arrive from due diligence, moreover seeking to address issues that arise.
Whether that means a deal can be done eventually remains to be seen, but the club have been involved in the buying/selling process, or at least the lead up to it, of that I am absolutely convinced.
