I’m really undecided on the Nash rumours. Part of me says it’s hearsay and utter social media gossip, the other half says no smoke without fire. The fact there’s been no actual leak or verified confirmation may mean it’s being kept under wraps by the agency managing the sale.
So am I. Just in the process of putting my consortium together. At the moment I’m many millions short but the bidding pot has a positive balance.
By the way rumours start because someone takes the above post and puts a story on twitter of a new HK bidder and it spreads from there.
I agree, but I actually think we have the right structure in place to make that happen. We have John Still who knows more about the lower leagues than the rest of the footballing world put together. We also have a management team who are great at getting the best out of the team. The only weak link is the chairman.

NDA
I really don't see why we are so concerned as a club that we need to use a NDA for all bidders. Every time you have a big club up for sale you never hear in the news 'there are rumoured to be three interested parties but we don't know who they are because of NDA's'
I suppose its because that's how Ron operates. We only ever sign or sell players for undisclosed fees too. Personally I dont have a problem with people wanting to keep things private.
As has been explained, more information could be made available but it would be up to Ron to allow it. Other clubs chairmen are more forthcoming, ours isn’t. Tom and others can’t just talk about it without Ron’s agreement. For whatever reason Ron has gone completely to ground and we’re not likely to hear anything until we’re either sold or kaput. It’s not good but that’s how things seem to be going so we just need to wait.
Most business deals inside and outside football are under NDAs or known to not be spoken about it formally by the club/business, not sure why anyone expects to know exactly what is going on.
Yep and it's certainly not a lack of interest that will slow things down, if anything it will be Ron and his unrealistic demands that delay or scupper any deal.
And his ability to string out even the simplest of negotiations.
I'm not sure that Ron's demands are unrealistic actually - none of us do - but if they were, there wouldn't be interested parties at all; they would have enquired and backed off. I don't believe he wants it slowed down at all either. I think he wants it sold at the earliest opportunity (but obviously for an acceptable price, which as each day passes gets further away from the "right" price).
When you say "bidding pot" did it resemble something like this complete with an effigy of RM in it?
They get paid if the club gets sold or not I think
Odd they would trust him.
Perhaps its commision.
