Sounds ok.

Mr Pettit said: “There are four bids in with two looking very promising. One is involved in rugby league, but not in this country, and another is a consortium of people who run sports clubs.

Hmm. Let the guessing games begin.

Why are you "done with the club" if Green is involved with a bid? The reasons for putting the club in administration have been given namely it's down to the club's dispute with HMRC. That the club were not convinced that, even with the delay their solicitor got for them, that they'd be successful in this dispute. Therefore, putting the club in administration was done to protect the club and it's assets.

Or, on the alternative view, he put the club into Administration to protect his own assets - he did exactly that once before remember...

To be fair, my 'I'm done' comment was probably over egging it. After almost 50 years of turning up to Odsal, having been taken there as a kid, I'd probably end up going. But I'd do it with a bit of a heavy heart. because I think Marc Green is a shyster who has shown himself to be unworthy of running our great club.

Well, from the names bandied around thus far, its actually quite hard to fathom

One is involved in rugby league, but not in this country

Graham Lowe? But his involvement was some years ago. The phrase 'is involved' suggests current involvement

a consortium of people who run sports clubs.

Might be some sort consortium with some or all of Madjeski, Irvine, Roberts, Green and who knows who else?

But one (or both) could be left-field...

There are a lot of people getting frustrated because nobody from the administrators is phoning them personally to tell them what is happening. Things are being said that are now getting silly mainly because nobody actually knows anything so make it up just to say something.
It is time to calm down and wait with fingers crossed that both of these bidders are worthy to take over. We should know by Christmas. The club seems to be preparing for the start. The only redundancy has been Ross at the TandA.
I doubt Green is involved with the two best bidders as one is from down under and the other came in on the last day and I wonder why he would wait till the last minute - but I don't know until the big announcement comes.

You have a good point about Green.

A pedant writes this bid could be both overseas and last minute.com

You want left field?

I got behind on my RLW mag reading and caught with an issue with Joe Vagana, he's NZ based, is a big player in a multi-million pound NZ construction hire company and it took him years to stop pining for Bradford.

Ave it.
