The more the merrier. We can't really say it's too late for a new consortium. Who knows how long this 5th lot have been working on the bid. After all, Randy was sniffing around weeks before we ever heard of him.
It would be great to get this tied up before the season starts (after all, we have a relegation battle to win) but while people still want to buy the club, the club should take it's time to get the best deal.
I feel a bit sorry for Mike Neville. He pretty much started the take over bandwagon, spent the best part of a year working on it and then probably get's brushed aside - never to be seen again.
