They will have had many informal enquiries and they will have put off

Others by making it clear we are not for sale.

Pretty much every club in the top two divisions has changed hands in the last 10 years. You are not telling me there has been/is no interest out there?

Ironically though if Delia continues to drag us into oblivion then we may at least be cheaper to buy when the penny finally drops and they are forced out by the fans.

        Fair comment - but that's the problem with lack of finance. No margin for error (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Aug 28, 11:05:43
        
        And of course, re: 2005/6, we didn't get it right next time. Or the time after that. (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Aug 28, 11:07:12
    - And the chances of that happening again are...? (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Aug 28, 10:31:42

    - Ultimately doesn't it come down to global fanbase? (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Aug 28, 10:35:17

- Agree. (NCFC) - avenging canary, Aug 28, 09:10:39
  - Agree with Jim's response. And then there was their interview in The Times (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Aug 28, 09:32:49
    - So no evidence of a serious approach. (NCFC) - avenging canary, Aug 28, 09:46:08
