After watching the full conference on .tv, I have to say I'm pretty reassured about a number of things. Assuming we aren't being told bare-faced lies (which for several of these we couldn't be because we'd find out the truth far too quickly) it's actually not all doom and gloom.
1. The owners can't veto the sale of the club if a bidder is chosen
2. Bidding hasn't opened yet so no bids are expected until mid July, when the "first round" of bids starts
3. The idea isn't just to sell to the highest bidder. A bid is also rated on potential for ground and squad development.
4. Broughton stated that they won't be selling the players to pay back the debt and that if anyone is sold the money goes back into the squad... if this had been all he said I would have been sceptical, but among the other things it made sense that this would be true too - it looks like they aren't expected to provide money to the banks immediately ... only time will tell for sure, but I think he said too much stuff that he'll quickly be found out for if he was lying
5. Kenny's first choice was Hodgson, although he wanted the job for himself (and we can guess because of what his son said that he felt he was the best man for the job) but they did take his advice when it came to the available candidates
