And the CEO also appeared to pour cold water on speculation regarding an improved offer for the club from Graeme Souness - insisting the Scottish legend had made the club's takeover negotiations "more difficult" by announcing his bid for the club in the media.

"Contrary to what the conspiracy theorists say, it is me who is pushing to get this done. I am not trying to prevent it happening," Moxey said."If it means every single one of this board disappears, so be it. I believe I will disappear. Anyone thinking differently in my position would be naive. If somebody is going to put money in, they will want someone they know and trust.

"Everything will be handed over - all the assets, the holding company, the Academy facility at Aldersley, the training ground, the bricks and mortar at Molineux, the players and the brand name.

"What you see is what you get. Wolverhampton Wanderers' holding company has a 125-year lease on the ground and that's as good as freehold because we pay nothing to the council for it."

Moxey also questioned Souness' motives in his £20million offer.

"Those people who choose to make our job more difficult by breaking confidences?"

"You have to start questioning their motives. The people who are serious only want their names to come up when the job has been done."

Molineux director Kevin Threlfall, speaking at the fans parliament, said the club may ask for more than the current £20million.

"Sir Jack is a wonderful man who we all love but he can act on a whim. Once he said £20m, that becomes a benchmark," Threlfall said.

"We only want Wolves to be sold once - to the right people. It has to be somebody with very deep pockets who can stand against the Randy Lerners (new Aston Villa owner). That's why we have gone with Rothschild."
