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..

But speculation is fun

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

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

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...

Think consortium involved in running sports clubs is lamb and Roberts who I've heard have joined forces.

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.

Interesting!

But wasn't big Joe more centre field?

People are so desperate for information and for this to be over, that they'll believe any old Billy Bull$hit. And people like that feed on attention. Whilst that attention is forthcoming, you can expect more and more guesses passed off as fact so that when the new owner is revealed, everyone can ignore the 9 out of 10 b0llocks comments and focus on the 1 that was guessed correct so that they can still make out they knew all along.

I'm always more inclined to listen to someone who gives 1 comment and sticks to it, than someone who hedges their bets and changes their tune every couple of days. But in reality, I take all of it with more than just a pinch of salt. I'll wait and see who gets announced and believe it then.

Is that pinch of salt on crinkle cut crisps of a Bradford based manufacturer? Ready salted or salt and vinegar?

Don't think lamb pulled out last time. He was preferred bidder but couldn't provide proof of funds in a silly timescale set by rfl.

It is understood that Bradford Council and the RFL have provisionally agreed a deal for the redevelopment of Odsal and would with new owner.

According to martin Sadler on twitter the deadline bidder is revealed in tomorrow's league express !!!

Sadly, after speaking to three of the bidders that's not the case. Serious questions need serious answers. https://t.co/ZBZCuqmOAf More from Mick Sounds like the bidders are frustrated
