Or someone could be leaking to the press because they're motivated politically out of self interest. 

Regardless of their motive it is betraying a level of trust.

Call me old fashioned but I reckon integrity still counts for something nowadays.

You seem to be assuming it's come from the club and not from the potential investors? They could have leaked something to see how the fans would react? Test the waters so to speak. It's a tale as old as time.

Yea, this.  Not all leaks are a betrayal of trust, quite a lot of the time there's an understanding that it can benefit to test things out in the open without it being official.

Why would an investor ask for an NDA or sign an NDA then breach it? That makes no sense. Especially for that reason.

Depends what was on the NDA, its very unlikely that it says you can't mention that you even might be interested to anyone, its more going to be, you can't reveal player salary, and we won't reveal the offer amount.

The NDA's are going to be very specific, otherwise they'd be pointless.

That article just demonstrates how journalists fill in gaps to make it sound like they are in the know.

Yeah, I didn't say it was a good piece... :-)

I’m fairly sure, as I know parties asked for private tours of the stadium where no staff were allowed to be there, that it was about identity of the bidders. 

It’s not going to be about ‘might be interested’ it was only ever serious bidders who were being entertained that had to sign them and when it was announced there were parties in discussion, it said NDA’s, plural.

 You could be correct.

I put a different scenario in response to another post. You've just done exactly the same with my post. Which just goes to prove it's open season for interpretation. 

There's been a lot of club business leaked, according even to the club themselves. It's always been that way.

What I will say is whoever is in a position of trust in relation to NDA has betrayed trust, regardless.

 They absolutely did ask for private tours of our facilities.

Except that we've had leaks for quite a number of seasons now, pre-GmbH in fact.

Join the dots........

I did and it looks suspiciously like an Italian Mafia boss...

Chat today and on other forums seems to be that the sale of the club is done? All just rumours until it's confirmed but hopefully is done soon and we can get rid of McPake.
