I Get "fiduciary responsibility" but if it is a case of FSG being so better for the club why did they have to match Lims bid ?
I'll try to explain it another way:
You Eddie have been given the responsibility, (which includes a duty of care), for selling and finding a home for a puppy which has been mistreated. You need to get £300 quid for it or it runs the risk of getting 'put to sleep'.
Two or more potential buyers turn up at your door. The first buyer, a more loving, caring, potential owner offers you £280 but it's not enough to keep the pup alive. The second potential buyer offers you the £300 but closer inspection shows that they may not have at heart what's best for the pup.
Given that you have a duty of care for the puppy; you go back to the one you think will take care of it best and ask them to match the second offer. They do so. You don't go back to the other looking more money. Why? You've fulfilled your duty of care to the pup AND you've also got enough money to save it.
Any reason to run to and fro has disappeared and there's no need to run the risk of the pup going to the wrong home.
It might read 'daft' but it's the best I can do mate. I hope you get what I'm trying to say.
