or did he...

make the bid last November....get turned down...and then premeditates a leak to the press. This then fires up the fans and puts ultimate pressure on the board. This in turn he would hope would make the board capitulate and therefore he picks up the club on the cheap (so to speak).

Aggressive takeovers are mainly done through speculative leaks to stakeholders (i'e the fans in this case) or minor shareholders to push a delia through, whether that be in the best interests of the company or not.

I just thought his approach 'possibly' stank a bit
