I’m lost how you came to that conclusion. The initial interest died many moons ago with the asking price. The new interest has been going on backwards and forwards since December 10th, in between that time there has been lots of questions and lots of reading. If you hadn’t noticed, the Christmas holidays have been upon us and some of us have other commitments and family life’s.
I apologise to you if I’m not posting on here daily and giving you the information that my legal representatives are giving me. Wheels are in motion and ty to those who have messaged me with support.
Would you just jump into the fire without asking questions or check figures?

Best of luck to all concerned and I know it's a very genuine effort, but two words stick out from your post, two words that I think will haunt any genuine buyer..."asking price"..
I wish you well, and hope you succeed. I think we all do!

Thanks for the update Zorro.
Nobody should jump into any fire without asking questions, checking figures, or making sure they can afford both the initial and the ongoing running costs of what they are taking on.
Hope your discussions bear fruit and we can look forward to a "Happy & Succesful New Year" under new ownership.
Oh! And by the way, no more pitch invasions which might prove to be an extra cost to the club and possible new owners going forward.

Bit touchy, maybe it's keeping you awake at nite??
I know Nowt of the 1st attempt failing and that interest had started again recently maybe a update on here would have helped that, (I don't read every post on every thread so apologies if you have) goodluck with your next attempt, I wish I was in a position to be financially beneficial to you, alas without a good lottery win, maybe an update every now and again might give us minions a Ray of hope??

Any genuine attempts to buy the club will have to be conducted in private, as much as we'd all like bobs board isn't the place to post updates.

So. new negotiations started on the 10th, a new CEO started on the 13th, and Carson resigned on the 27th. Let's hope these facts are not unconnected to your worthy efforts Rob.

That is the thing which will be the killer. A lot of money would be needed just to stop the ship from sinking, and that’s after any takeover.

You have to appreciate people will come to their own conclusions when offered no information, it’s human nature, I’ve done the same myself.
The football club is a very emotive subject to many people, unless they know work is actually being done behind the scenes they will assume it’s not. You have now come out and given us a small snippet of info. We now know people haven’t given up.

First rule of corporate transactions - keep everything as secret as possible until you have something to announce...
Second rule - do your due diligence and when you think you have finished do some more just to be certain. DA has biught and sold a few businesses so knows what he is doibg, if you dont jave that experirnce then tread carefully.
I am happy that Zorro is handling this in the right way. He will speak when there is something to say...

There is a potential takeover in the pipeline?
Or.
Negotiations with potential investors with the view to a potential takeover are in the pipeline?

Lets just show a bid of respect and patience.
