Because they can keep a secret.

Probably because there is potentially good news about investment which they don't want to be leaked to the press which could have an affect transfer negotiations?

Or is that just wishful thinking?

        creation of new shares? do you need this explaining yet again.... (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 5, 14:53:25
        
        oh yeah, but the problem is if he buys 30% shares he has to offer for every other share (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 5, 14:57:46
        
        So are the rules different about buying unallocated shares, to buying shares already owned (NCFC) - Dog, Jul 5, 15:00:30
        
        That is where my limited knowledge ends im afraid :( (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 5, 15:01:36

        well, the values are made up in that fashion (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 5, 16:44:28
        
        You would have thought the loan would have been converted to new shares (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 5, 14:26:01

  - Maybe the Turners are offering 56 million to buy the club? (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 5, 13:30:00
    - If the 56m includes their loan, surely they only need 54m ? (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Jul 5, 13:47:49
      - absolutely, 54 million it is. less the cost of their shares too! (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jul 5, 13:50:36
        
        And ?20m of it is a theoretical transfer fund. (n/m) (NCFC) - Dog, Jul 5, 13:53:49
