No chance mate! They don't want to deal with someone who knows more than them!

Generally speaking though mate, IF as seems likely a redeveloped ground or stadium build is on the agenda for them, then they would want to grab every share they can do - otherwise they are effectively spending to increase someone else's profit someday down the line, forcing minority shareholders to sell when your talking about very small amounts of shares on the other hand can cause a LOT more bad blood than it's worth for them - especially when your dealing with fans owning those shares

And?
Do you seriously think the club should have made public the details of the bid and invited fans to somehow decide on whether it was acceptable or not?

Anyone who buys the club will be more interested in profit than anything else. As an American I do have a massive fear that this goes the route of Lerner/Villa.
I love this club, and by far more than any American club of any sport and by far more than most things in my life. I feel home with this club. I want "Nothing but the Best" for Everton. Problem is regardless of the way this goes, it's going to take a few years to see whether the sale (if it goes through to the Americans) was for the better or worse. C'mon Everton just make it right, sake.

If either of them my guess would be his Lordship.
If the club believe that they have found the preferred bidders why not publish there plans before they lock up the deal? If they have nothing to hide and have the best interest of the fans in hand then why do we have to wait till after the deal is done?
Trust, Transparency, Engagement with the fanbase - nothing on show here.

Two questions, did City or Chelsea do what you suggest, did their owners turn out bad for the club?
Response - non-disclosure agreement

It's not like you're selling a shirt to your mate for a tenner and need to disclose any of it's imperfections with his lady.
As much as we love the club and the game, there is a business aspect to these things. If they were to disclose EVERYTHING there would be uproar and not because the deal is garb but because you can't make everyone happy.
For the sake of an argument let's say the deal has 100 line items to it. 92 of them could be solid and we all approve, but there would be a contingent who say the other 8 are crap and therefore deal should be off. Nature of the beast it is.

Everton takeover latest: John Jay Moores and Charles Noell flew into Liverpool for talks before FA Cup game
Moores and Noell were spotted arriving at the Hilton hotel in Liverpool ONE
The American investors closing in on a takeover of Everton flew to Liverpool for secret talks with the Blues before the recent FA Cup win over Carlisle United.
The ECHO understands that John Jay Moores and Charles Noell were in the city on the weekend of January 30/31 to make progress with negotiations about their £200m bid.
Former San Diego Padres owner Moores and Baltimore-based Noell were chauffeured from Manchester airport to the Hilton hotel in Liverpool One on the Saturday.
They then held talks with Blues officials 24 hours before the FA Cup fourth round 3-0 win over Carlisle United at Brunton Park, which they did not attend.
It comes as the pair, also believed to have been shown around the club's Finch Farm training ground recently, were finishing their due diligence period on the Toffees accounts.
They are now at a stage where a deal in principle is close to being finalised to buy the majority shareholding in the club.
Everton have declined to comment.

It's not their place to publish any 'plans' that the prospective new owners may have for the club though.
The deal is around what they're going to pay for the equity, once that's concluded, then it's up to the new owners to make their plans clear to the fanbase.
Expecting the club to engage with the fanbase pre-sale is absolutely preposterous. Shall we go with these or what lads? Dear oh dear.
