Even if there was an offer, any such deal would take a couple of months at least if not more (depending on whether it was a purchase of a share or a full takeover.

Personally I sincerely hope Appleby does not get anywhere near the club again, given the lack of progress made under his direction last time.
That’s disappointingly emphatic. I share your lack of enthusiasm for Appleby but was hoping for something from the Home Depot guy.
I’m surprised, given that we seem to tick so many boxes in terms of potential investors but, in David Clowes we trust.
