What were the two clauses in the deal added at the 11th hour that were so unacceptable to make John Gibson give up?

He is not allowed to say but could it be the ex chairman wanted an addition to share cost if United get promoted this year or maybe a percentage of any transfer money that United get for the sale of any current players.

We need to campaign to get these clauses removed whatever they are and get the Gibson deal back on and over the line now.
These are wild guesses but I'd say stuff like keep MM as Chairman, some financial benefit in the future despite severing all ties by selling shares, eg player sales and lastly some element of non disclosure about what JG will find out about finances when he takes over.

Tbh any of the above would justify JG 's description of it being bizarre.
