Mystery deepens over surprise, multi-million pound bid for UK’s Jewish Chronicle – Some people named in consortium behind offer say they don’t know who the actual funder is; liquidation of JC and rival Jewish News pushed off to midweek | Timesofisrael

A deepening mystery surrounds a multi-million pound bid for Britain’s beleaguered Jewish Chronicle, with several people named as being involved saying they don’t actually know who the would-be buyer is.
The Chronicle and its rival Jewish News announced earlier this month that they would be going into liquidation and laying off their staff, with indications that a single publication would likely emerge afterwards.
