How will people not currently shareholders know about the offer when it becomes available?

Then it could, in theory, cost said investor twice the amount to gain ownership of the club - making said investment much more expensive and therefore much less attractive. If somebody had to have 100% of the shares to buy a club, surely this would defeat the object of having 'shares'?

it was just an idea. This topic has got too serious. Shareholders are just a group of people who have the interest of the club at heart and see the purchase of some shares as a way of 'doing their bit' to help the club they love.

Most of us would agree with that. However, there seem to be a number of people who missed out first time round who would still be interested in "doing their bit" for the club they love, but who, if I read TRB's post correctly, may not get the chance, or may only get the chance on terms that are not acceptable to them.

You're probably right, maybe the thread has got a bit too serious, but I can't see the harm in discussing the issue - after all, we're talking about ordinary punters like myself who'd like to chuck a few quid the club's way to be part of the action. That can't be a bad thing, now, surely?
