No only that there are valuable assets.

The stadium is an asset. If you own a leasehold flat you can sell it and its value, generally, will increase year on year. The problem is whether or not the lease and/or the Council protects the stadium as a Sporting venue. If not some property developer could come in and we'd be ground sharing with Lex! So I'd have to vote no.

I don't think the question is asking would you sell to anyone who's interested though, it's asking would you put it up for sale? I think we should put it up for sale to consider what offers are out there personally. They can't make our situation much worse. We risk losing the ground as it is.

If I had the money I’d be it lock, stock & barrel tomorrow.
Then I’d have four 80 ft statues of myself erected holding up the massive floodlights...

Good points, mate. So I'll say yes to the question.

Exactly this. For some reason some seem to think putting the club up for sale equals selling to any old rogue when in reality the two are not linked.

Drop all this NDA 50k fine bollocks while we're at it too. We all know why that's there and its not got anything to do with the spin that came with it, its purely as the obstacle that puts anyone with a brain off.

Say some one did sign it though, then via an anonymous twitter account like, I don't know, the Red Poison one or the one that leaked DSA info, some confidential detail was leaked, what happens then? Potentially someone going rogue from the clubs side of things could leak some info then blame the interested party? How could that be proved or disproved?

When we saved the club the future was uncertain. At least we know now that a self proclaimed "we are giving our all" by the current leadership has led us to where we are. We now know what WST leadership can provide. I would have preferred a less arrogant self appraisal by those in control in the hope that maybe different faces leading under WST stewardship would be more productive in leading the club forward. However it seems the inability of the WST leadership to even acknowledge there is a problem IS the problem... so yes I would now support putting the club up for sale as we do now know what we are currently getting is the very best its going to be under the current structure. We need better.

I think I need to start doing the Euromillions!

Though even if I won the mega jackpot of £160m i'm sure the board would find some reason not to sell.....
Though even if I had that money, i'm not against fan ownership in principle. All that would change would be the ownership dynamic to allow my share... oh and maybe changes at board level!

Someone mentioned that there is a system in place that if a current member was to resign or be removed from post there is a 'shadow' ready to take their place?

But, in all honesty, if the current Boards have put these 'shadows' in place... would you trust them to be any different?
