MFC were never in the frame to buy Halifax - A take-over by a local consortium has been in the pipeline for over a year but there has been ongoing difficulties between them and the owner. Halifax faced a winding-up order last Wednesday and a few days earlier the owner Geoff Ralph announced that he had approached about a possible take-over. This was primarily designed to force the consortium's hand - which appears to have happened as they anounced a deal on Wednesday.
Now some fans on the Halifax board openly supported the consortium take-over and as such were openly hostile to MFC being brought into the equation.
In the event that the consortium's take-over collapses then it is possible that Halifax could be bought by MFC - but that would only be after serious consideration of all factors and due diligence being carried out and a full disclosure of the financial and contractual arrangements involving the club.
