This sounds to easy to be true

But  cant the board say right we want x amount for the club are you willing to pay this?

There is no real reason why not if they were serious about selling. I'm sure the deal would be more complicated than straight cash though.

As I said in another thread I dont see how someone is supposed to make a realistic offer to buysomething if the seller wont tell them what they want for it

It would still be like:

Seller:  "I will sell you my car for £3000."

Potential buyer: "How many miles has it done?"

Seller: "Make me a formal offer and I'll tell you."



To quote that shitty Nationwide advert, 'it doesn't work like that.'

Good analogy, but as far as I'm aware the seller hasnt even said the car is available for £3,000?

sadly no - they've admitted in the RS interview they haven't valued the company - an indication perhaps tey have no intention of selling. Also, they stated that the price will vary depending on who buys it - whether th board has complete trust in them or not - and thus can rely on them to make future payments (it was indicated that payments won't be in a single lump sum but installments over a period of time) and thats where the guarantees etc come in - then tey want guarantees that there will be future investment.

It is complex - any acquisition is

Well in that case its more like....

Trust: How much do you want for the club, incudling debts?

Club: Make us an offer and we will tell you.

Trust: how can we make you an offer when you wont tell us how much we actually have to cover? :old:

Maybe they need a cracker jacker tracker mortgage before they'll sell up.
