The best time to put us up for sale (financial and profit-wise)would have been just before the end of the season and the Champions League final last season when it still seemed like we could win a quadruple.
The worst time to put us up for sale (football-wise) would have been just before the end of the season and the Champions League final last season when it have looked like it could cripple our (at the time still promising) season with the unnecessary distraction.
I'm guessing that second one is why they waited until they did to confirm that they were looking for takers.
Unfortunately the damage of a terribly managed and executed summer transfer window and the subsequent damage it wrought in our season so far probably hasn't helped in our valuation.
I'm guessing the Mancs also being put up for sale (along with rumours of the Spurs being up for sale too) couldn't have helped finding takers.
So all that's probably the reason why Henry decided to hold his powder and not sell for the moment.
