KPMG cannot sell the GS. It is not theirs to sell. Only the FL can grant it and there are only 2 criteria for them to do so AFAIK. Conditional offers would only be irrelevant if the GS was NOT going to be granted under the exceptional circumstances clause. It was the FL themselves who brought up the exceptional circumstances clause which has never been used before. I have some difficulty with the concept that the FL brought up this clause but had no intention of using it. If the FL did not want to use this clause why on earth would they even mention it in the first place ? Who might have had the most to lose if the clause had been allowed ? Think it through. Exceptional circumstances applies, conditional bids are now valid. Who wins ? Who loses ? If exceptional circumstances applies now, it applied then (unless there has been a change that only you know about). > More to the point, why on earth wouldn't the FL have the power to grant > any team membership to their own private members club? Of course they have the power. It is in the rules. There are two ways they can do it. Which one would you like ? Bear in mind the above re exceptional circumstances. Alternatively they will have to go through the correct procedures to change the rules. I don't know what those procedures are but I'm willing to bet that it isn't a two minute job. >The only sticking points would be the rules not allowing it, or the >decision makers not wanting to. Why do you think that these are the only alternatives ? Have you ever in your life been prevented by others from doing something that you otherwise wanted to do ? Either you are unwilling to see other possibilities or you simply don't get it. Either way I'm off this thread. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
