No it wasn't, it was said the "club is not for sale"
No it wasn't, it was said the "club is not for sale"The offer to buy the club was rejected straight off...

And what about Michael refusing to answer questions or give details of the offer? He's being no better than SISU.
He doesn't need to answer questions, it is only between him and SISU, nothing to do with us....
I did receive an email this morning and replied "Great! Mark, please just email me details for meeting and I will share with colleagues". I have not as yet received a response.
To be honest, the more I think about this, the more the secrecy and non-verbal communication makes sense.
KCIC's backers, along with SISU, would more likely want privacy in negotiating the best options for both sides. Lets be honest lads, WE can't make any difference. Only the warring parties. In a sense, it isn't anything to do with us.
So, unfortunately, I can appreciate if the money men want to keep things confidential for the time being ... though Michael, even if his hands are tied, COULD let us know if this is the case so we can stop all the mud slinging and conspiracy theories.

I agree, so keep it in private without running to the press and making statements

So you and Torch want Michael to tell you all of the details and also to keep the details a secret?
No wonder why most of us are in disagreement on what he should do and say when there are two of us that want him to tell us everything whilst keeping it a secret
Remind me how well informed sisu kept the fan base of the ACL offer through the FL?
Under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA), it is not illegal for individuals to tape conversations provided the recording is for their own use. Recording or monitoring is only prohibited where some of the contents of the communication are made available to a third party. If a person intends to make the conversation available, they must get the consent of the person being recorded.
Journalists often record phone conversations but can only use what is said for research purposes if they have not told the person. If they want to publish quotes or broadcast what has been said they need to inform the person that the conversation is being taped.

Michael, can you clear something up for me?
1. Did ML ever call you?
2. When speaking via however you did with ML, did he say it would ONLY be via phone or that he just wanted a quick call to clear a couple of things before meeting?
3. How has the correspondence gone? Have you acted like you do on here where you completely ignore anything said and just post the same thing over and over?

...and how well did ACL, Hoffman etc. convey their "offers"...blah blah blah.
This is all bullshit.
Personally, from what I understand based on the very limited info we have on the Kcic fronted "offer"....its a total non-starter as a business proposal...
...The only plus I can see within it is IF it manages to start a dialogue......which is tricky if one party won't write a fucking email & the other party won't answer the fucking phone. Pathetic.
This club has been plagued with amateurs, jokers & idiots for way way too long.

Pots and kettles are beginning to rattle somewhat Nick
Wow. 12 pages on this thread about emails or picking up the phone!
And mostly if not entirely from people who are not directly involved.. sometimes the best thing is to shut up & let the real decision makers get on with it.

No, that's a bit different IMHO. Making a general outline of the plan public shows the fans that something is being attempted to break the deadlock, without breaking the confidentiality of the backers. It documented by the press and not verbal heresay, so no chinese whispers like "apparently, KCIC have been talking to SISU" or "the word in Bennos canteen is" etc. Getting the idea out this way also puts a bit of pressure on SISU to consider it, or state the reasons why they dismiss it.
Pressley's made us aware, through the press/club web site, that he's made several offers to transfer targets during the summer transfer window. Thats to let the fans know that there is (apparently) moves behind the scenes to bring in new players. I don't think any of us would contact Pressley, demanding to know who these transfer targets are how much we've offered for them?
You can still answer simple questions without breaking confidential agreements isnt there? Don't tell me he can't say whether ML has actually tried to call him or not because it is confidential?
Michael is just doing as much spinning in this instance but to be fair he is going to try and out-spin somebody who makes a living out of it and I fear it may end up messy
If you know somebody is amazing at boxing, the best way of attack isn't to walk up to them and offer them a boxing match is it?
Where's the spin. Do SISU want to meet Michael or not?
Are you saying that Michael and the other players are just pretending that they want to meet ML?
