    ...is there supposed to be a representative of the party interested in buying the club attending?

    If not, I can't really the point of it?

    Repeat of what I just posted in another thread:

    ‘I’m expecting it to either be a Noel Edmonds style Gotcha or it to be like those evangelicals who stand in town centres with a microphone preaching manically about doom unless you repent.’

    Or, actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if it got cancelled last min/no-one showed up.

    The head of the interested group is going to attend, say all the right things and get everyone really excited about his long term vision and investment plans.

    Then at the end he'll whip off a Mission Impossible style mask to reveal he's actually been Paul Conway in disguise all along, and start windmilling and flicking Vs at the crowd whilst dancing to U Can't Touch This.

    You heard it here first.

    I'm thinking about going, just to sit in the corner and chuckle.

    I would be amazed if anyone of any influence turns up and I hope the majority of attendees take their fake ids to get served.

    Apparently all attendees have to sign a confidentiality agreement and have been asked not to post anything discussed on social media.

    I don’t understand why some people on the FB site, and indeed on this site, equate removing the current owners AND having any new owners lined up as part of a package. As if those two things are connected and that ‘fans’ can influence both at the same time.

    We’re football fans not United Nations delegates. We have very limited influence (if any at all) in terms of who buys the football club. Simply removing the current owners will do for me. Then we can take it from there.

    But we need to have some owners in place surely? What I don't understand is if a buyer is indeed good to go, why all this 'Conway out' by the people aligned with this supposed buyer? Surely the buyer should be giving assurances that everything is in hand, patience is required, and we want to remain on a good footing with the current owners in order to maximise the chances of a seamless transition from the old owners to the new. Fighting with stewards, throwing lager at club officials, and holding secret meetings in the Garrison - what is it going to achieve? The prospective buyer will hopefully press ahead regardless. Everything else is just background noise. Unless there isn't really a buyer in waiting.

    Now that's got me confused?
    How do u remove the current owners without new ones to take over? Do u plan that they will just walk away from their multi million £ purchase .....( yes I know there's an argument they haven't actually paid for it yet).....and leave the club ownerless? Vacant possession? How's that work?

    Just smacks of having something to hide. It's not necessary in my opinion because their intention is obvious (replace current owners with new one). Everything should be out in the open.

    That's impossible to enforce.

    Say I go, and sign this (surely not legally binding) agreement - I could come on here under this profile I created about 12 years ago and spill the beans. Or chuck the beans.

    It surely can't be true. They surely can't be that daft.

    And yet people still think it might be true :D

    Not only would any NDA not be worth the paper it was printed on but what’s the point in it anyway? They won’t say anything worthy of one as it’s obvious anything juicy would be shared, and it’s not needed for anything that isn’t secret.

    Am sure the garrison is the ideal place to gather to discuss commercially sensitive detail that would warrant an NDA
