So no evidence of a serious approach.

If a serious businessperson or group were interested, they wouldn't be put off so easily. Either there have been no serious approaches, or they have not valued the club highly enough. I just don't believe that if a serious and credible person came in they wouldn't at least discuss it. I just don't think we're an attractive proposition.
