Well I had no involvement and only heard about it after the event when the offer had already been withdrawn.
Therefore, Ican’t speak authoritatively having not been involved directly. However, it sounded likedirectors/ shareholders it did not want to give up control to new majority owners. You only gave them two weeks to consider the final offer although I realise the first part dragged on incessantly.. I must admit that I was puzzled at the time while your group didn’t come back for further discussions, but I really don’t want to start casting aspersions because I know you were acting in good faith and from a desire to support the club.
I can see that you were hamstrung by lack of information, but then the previous owners were under no obligation to sell the Club.

I believe Yioryos did approach you informally to explore whether you would have any interest in something more of the kind of the first offer that was discussed. It sounded like you were only interested in majority control. If you guys are still interested in the issue, I just thought there might be merit in having some form of conversation about this. Speaking, purely personally, I was then! The other factor is that both Jim and I are over 70 and neither see ourselves running the club for years and years so we ought to be looking at succession planning.

I don’t know if we can get to a place where things are less confrontational and discussions are based on actual facts but it might be interesting to try
