Releasing a statement in response on the club website, Pang said: "Last month, I, along with other staff members, met with representatives from the Sell Before We Dai protest group. I must thank the representatives for their professionalism during the meeting, which proved to be a productive opportunity to discuss recent protests and the challenges they pose to the club, as well as to address other important club matters.
I can reaffirm that Mr. Dai is actively working to secure the sale of the club. Finding a buyer is a time-consuming and laborious process, but rest assured that every effort is being made to find suitable new owners. We are in dialogue with several interested parties, and we also welcome new declarations of interest. All conversations are under strict non-disclosure agreements and must remain confidential. As soon as we can provide further updates, we will do so."
