I knew 'sellable' was wrong, but had one of those ever-more-frequent moments when I couldn't think of the right word!!

I'll say senility before my son @Blackville can beat me to it...

I don't think anyone on here ever thought it was/is. Any guesses as to when the whole process might be finished? I understand about NDA's but the silence breeds rumour and conjecture which helps nobody.

I was referring to dangerous sausage's post.

No news as yet, talks still ongoing. There will always be rumour and conjecture but these things remain private for good reason. Understand that can be frustrating but it's normal and necessary.

 In similar vein, and following public discussion about what's been said on the radio (I never heard it) I've seen Uncle Col and he never mentioned proceedings to me at all. Ray is very busy, sometimes abroad, in talks and will be non contactable during those times. It's no snub.

Thanks for the update.

It wasn't meant in a derogatory way @erindoors, was just talking about motivations for buying the club. Neither of the three I mentioned are necessarily a bad thing. And there's nowt wrong with enjoying yourself!

haha! didn't take it that way. No, there's nothing wrong with any of those reasons, but they can all be fraught with problems if any are the entire reason for buying.

And I've always enjoyed Notts and will continue to do so in the future. Good job, too!

I hope the Trews do sell up myself. We do now seem to have a capable manager which will hopefully interest more people wanting to buy the club. Hopefully if this manager does well we can extend his contract. The Trews arn't really as interested in the club as they used to be so it would be best to sell.

hmm. Yes, we are!Thanks 

hot off the wire ..   @tarquinbeech goes to see Mexico's notorious "El Chapo" to see if he is willing to bid. However the deal founders as he has to wait for a new tunnel to be dug from the Altiplano to Meadow Lane... but that should be completed even before the FL eventually sign off of a Fit and Proper Person test

Motivations and what attracts interest can be two different things.

The club will always be attractive, it depends on the market and how things are - people buy when the time is right, so waiting a little longer may be best for all but I do hope to see more news filtering out within the next few weeks. I know there's a limit to what can and can't be said, however little bits of news would be welcomed by the vast amount of supporters.

well, like I said, I didn't hear it. And he never asked me when he saw me, so I hadn't understood he was upset about it. Fact remains, if he is busy, with his phone turned off, its not a snub and people should really understand that when he's in negotiations, all he can say is that they are ongoing, if anything at all. No one at the office would have anything to say on the matter, and I'm not aware of CS having calls ignored. Most buyers wouldn't want it all out there before its a done deal.

Hi PoundPie, so it is safe to assume that negotiations are still ongoing. Are we allowed to know if it is with more than one potential buyer? Would the club tell us if negotiations were no longer being conducted due to differences?

 

Many thanks

Hmmm, I also thought sellable looked 'wrong', but then consider this...

The club looked sellable today, so the Trews will be able to sell it.

The club looked saleable today, so the Trews will be able to sale it.

The club looked saleable today, so the Trews will be able to sell it.

The second and third sentence don't sound right to me, so maybe sellable is correct after all?

It's things like this that keep me awake at night.

 

 

 

 

The other thing that keeps me awake is whether these American buyers would be in it for the long term for the joy of owning a Football club. Do they want to see a return on their investment. Are the two things mutually exclusive?

Anyone that believes they will see a profit on buying Notts County should seek mental help ASAP
