I think it's time for the administrator to starting publicising some details..now the deadline has been and gone.

It's following its usual course:

(1) Club enters administration
(2) Administrator appointed
(3) Positive noises about interest
(4) Feverish speculation centered around anyone with a Bradford connection and a bit of brass
(5) Deadline for bids closes, administrator goes quiet (i.e. tots up his bill)
(6) Positive sounding bidders pull out or meet insurmountable obstacles
(7) Club is sold to thirty bob millionaire with nice car but shallow pockets
(8) Rinse and repeat

It does seem that way **sigh **

We appear to now be number 6 and I'm increasingly expecting number 7 to happen shortly.

Well we've long cautioned on taking rumours of a billionaire about to buy us with a pinch of salt. It seems sensible to also take any sense of impending doom with the same pinch of salt. We know nowt.

Think i will give it while Monday and if nothing has been sorted, call my visa company and get my money back. Might as well have it to get vexed at Christmas

He just says from impeccable source. TBF Phil's not usually one for wild speculation.

Love Rugby League: Off the Record

The Bradford situation continues to drag on and on with no end in sight. A number of people have grown frustrated with the antics of administrator Gary Pettit. There's talk that Pettit has actually gone on holiday this week, while the bidders, creditors, players and staff of Bradford continue to wait for a decision. Talk about the wrong timing for a vacation. The speculation is that if a new buyer is not found by this Friday, the club will go into liquidation.

So by the sounds of this, people are interested but can't get a answer or any communication from the administrator. What a load of rubbish.
