from my understanding Varney is nothing to do with the takeover only brokering the deal

I think it would make the whole exercise pointless. Every question concerning a T/O would be met with a "no comment" or some variation, if the vendees want to retain their confidentiality then it's something we should respect - we'll find out soon enough who they are. The next questions they'd have faced - on PP's status couldn't be answered either for obvious reasons. The only thing that they'd have been able to discuss was the new sponsor and the state of the potholes in the car-park.

Yes bluntly. Otherwise why have a confidentiality agreement in the first place?
I don't know the shape of any NDA but if I was their lawyer, I would be very wary of them speaking at a public forum, especially as they will know in advance that much, if not all of the meeting will be taken up with questions to which the answer is "no comment".
As a school governor, I was recently involved in a situation where the Head Teacher had to take a leave of absence. As a governor I was told not even to ask a question of the Chair of Governors (who was the only one who knew the details) what was the reason for his leave. We were just told that he was on a voluntary leave of absence and that was all we could tell parents. Sometimes how you give no comment answers can be telling. In this case it was to protect the Head's human rights. (I subsequently found out the nature of why he took leave of absence and he did return). Parents and the local community made their own mind up as to why he was away and despite his return, the damage to him personally was done for which he never recovered.
So confidentiality is important even though the vacuum it creates makes PR very difficult.

[cite]Posted By: Ledge[/cite]i don't think this Q&A was ever going to go ahead. just stringing everyone along.
Not sure they'd do that, but I do believe that they thought the takeover would have been done by now, so this event would have just been taking the bows. I don't think that meeting their public as controllers of the club was every really going to happen though.

Hopefully Chappell wont be taking any bows... seems its all gone pear shaped since he joined as a director let alone chairman.

Lol no but they'd lie about ST sales wouldn't the McLovin ;o)
What I don't comprehend is the fact they agreed for the Q&A session to go ahead in the first place whilst in the middle of takeover talks. Surely you learn from your previous mistakes (ie the cancelled session at Bromley during the Zabeel talks) and don't repeat them.
Who are these mysterious legal advisors anyway? The bunch down at Kings Hill?

Well there were enough people on here complaining about a lack of info, so they must have felt obliged to agree and hope that the deal had been done by then. Or maybe a deal had fallen through and since been resurected.

Lol!
Of course. By the way, did you hear that Elvis and Jimi Hendrix were murdered to keep them quiet about their part in the JFK assassination plot?

Times are hard, we now qualify for "Legal Aid "
Not many people there. Quite a poor turn out really.
Still that meant plenty of chances to ask questions of RM, DC and the new owners.
Nothing earth shattering. Was recorded for CAFCTV so can watch it all then
I thought it wasn't on??
Whooooooooooooooooooooosh
Is that the speed of you running Dazzler?? lol
Me running is more like Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh
