Having a formal process in place to handle such events is a good thing all round.
You can't have it both ways. Look at Pete Jones submission and all prior evidence, they do not want to sell, they do not want any serious approaches or investment, they just want donations that do not effect the structure or politics.

Denying that is playing politics and the fans deserve better. They do not deserve a carrot being dangled which will never be reached. They deserve the truth and certainty.

This process is designed to block, its one sided, unfair and not mutually respectful and will not "encourage" any serious parties once the terms have been placed on the table. It is designed to do the opposite and discourage and seems to have worked at least once that we know of. It is a model to ensure an offer never gets to the fans (who do not own the club as has been proved, they are members of a Trust that owns the club).

My message to the Trust higher echelons would be drop the subterfuge and be brave enough to state the desired position and stick to it. If their conviction is strong enough then why not be brave enough to argue for it. Hiding behind a process engineered to fail then pretending to sit on the fence isn't fair on the fans. They deserve the truth and they deserve certainty.
