Whilst it's flattering that more than one buyer is apparently interested these are apparently buyers who have tried to buy the club before and failed to reach agreement with Anderson, so presumably they think that now we are up against it they can get a more acceptable deal.
Throw more than one buyer into the equation and the likelihood is that Anderson will try to play them off against each other to get the best deal for him.
In this scenario they are potentially mutually exclusive objectives so it's not beyond the realms of possibility that in playing games, Anderson will piss them all off again and we end up with nobody or being sold to the one who offers the best deal for Anderson rather than the best deal for the club.
UPDATE
"Howard" on WW reckons Anderson has been outmanoeuvred using Moonshift's call on Anderson's shares - which would prevent Anderson fucking us over..

That would’ve left 7 days to do a deal.
Ken would’ve held all the power as anybody wanting to buy/save the club would have to pay him and then HMRC etc. He could’ve dictated his price effectively such was the desperation of the situation.
By making themselves known last night and indicating they would pay Ken’s price it gave him cause and valid reason to seek the adjournment, as without it the deal may not have been completed in time and he loses a pay day. It was also a condition of the buyer that the club not be under the WU order.
What this now means is that Ken has a buyer at a price he is comfortable with. HOWEVER, if he messes them around they will simply refuse to deal with him and wait until the 3rd to take back his shares.
They have the ability to take back the shares by novating (transferring) the ICI- Moonshift debt to themselves.
Worth noting that Ken wouldn’t have known the debt had been novated until after the court hearing, or whenever Lee opens his post.
