Why was this never brought to the members notice and how do the board have the right to refuse this sort of offer without even having to consult the members?

Don't they have to stump up £5k for it to be brought to the fans?

Who? Doesn't matter much anyway, they makes sure the things they want go through and they make it difficult and exasperating for anyone who tries to put something forward that they don't like.
Look at the bubble match vote. A joke. Any board who backs that farce needs to take a long look in the mirror.

So what would you propose as a sensible way of dealing with potential investors/buyers who might come along saying they want in?

Erm, not ask them to pay 5k just to enter into a discussion?
