I doubt she has lost interest. I expect the plan was always to get us as far as she could take us with minimal outlay on her part. She probably understands that our current selling strategy is fairly unsustainable in the long term and is probably looking for a return on her investment as well as securing our future in memory of her father (I imagine that academy building named in his honour would represent an emotional tie still if nothing else.) I hope if we do sell to these guys that she has undertaken rigorous due diligence and received commitments in order to get us funded to a greater degree than we are being funded at the moment, otherwise what would be the point?
