Story HERE I wonder, for those who were at the "open and honest" forum last night, did Chalmers mention this particular offer?

No.....don't think he did actually.....but then again, it was what was not said last night that was the "interesting" aspect of the meeting Presumably, this would be AC's business partner share since he's clearly ill?

I would assume that's exactly what it is. But the point remains he had a forum just last night where he was supposed to be clearing air and being honest, but failed to mention this quite large development. Doesn't even have to name Koukash. A simple "Graham cares about the club but understands he may not be able to do put the time in that he wants to, so if we can find a good backer who can put that in, he'll be willing to sell his half for the good of the club" would have been honest enough. Then this story comes out and everyone says "Well Andrew was honest last night and told us about this" instead of "why did he not mention this when talking about Graham being ill?".

If he wants open and honest and wants people to trust him, it can't be about "what's not said".

Whilst it is an interesting development, I'm not sure why people believe that they should have been told this, as long as it doesn't change what was conveyed last night. I would certainly hope he is looking at all possibilities for further investment, but if they prove unsuccessful it's not news. If he had offered to sell the club outright that would be a different story.

How to undermine confidence in your fans forum in one swift press release. Most interesting part of all is that it seem the Koukash's are the ones quoted here, wonder if they approached PA to leak this?

A bit more uncertainty and speculation about our future ownership... brilliant.

You couldn't make this up could you? But at least it's all rosy after how nice Andrew was at the forum...
