I read that article and wondered if it was all of his £20m he put in.
I wonder how he made his money. At least he does seem to have done it before and is a rugby man at heart.
Fingers crossed.

KCNBABT put down that bloody sauce pan and get texting to find out more. If your like most other Bulls supporters it won't harm you to miss a meal.

Why would he do that? He's already got his info from here! RLFANS is his primary source after all

Re: Players meeting with new owner today : Thu Jan 05, 2017 7:06 pm  

So not the new owner then. Just one who is applying to the rfl. They put out details just before 3 today which they wouldn't do if the administrator was still trying to sell. The meeting had nothing to do with the rfl. He has a 1 in 10 chance. Making promises to players IF they stay he will do X, Y and Z. Reckon players time better spent finding new clubs. Why hang on for someone who isn't the owner especially as the RFL won't do anything till 12.01 on Monday. They may have 15 bids by then. Although seeing what they are asking the bidders to provide I doubt it. How many times do you all have to be put through 'we hope to have control by....'

Re: Players meeting with new owner today : Thu Jan 05, 2017 7:09 pm  

Like I said, damage limitation so that they still have players should their bid be successful.

Must be a serious bid though if he's gone to the trouble?

Re: Players meeting with new owner today : Thu Jan 05, 2017 7:10 pm  

Very plausibly so, Demon.

Though I suspect if we don't hear a whisper about this from the RFL that he's preferred bidder. We aren't actually liquidated yet. That 1:10 ratio isn't quite in play yet.

If he becomes the owner he may have you playing over a 100 miles away - like he did taking Wasps to Coventry. He does seem to be paying a fair bit out for the Ricoh,though. He may move Wasps to Odsal. Link Link 2
