Anyone more knowledgable on these things know what it means having the Orcas as a director?

Richard Lewis didn't want them in 2007, wonder if they see this as a way in now?

His company owed $25m to creditors. He makes Green look like a total amateur when it comes to owing money. Some businessmen see owing money and closing - then starting new businesses as part of the game. It is the world we live in.
We just have to hope that the person who does buy us is good enough to keep us going long enough for us to enjoy it for a while till he goes broke and we start all over again.

He may be being bankrolled by someone with heaps of cash. I hope so as his record isn't a glowing success.

Then again this may just be another speculative thing like Thorne's was last week.

He's got to have some money in the bank. Even the RFL aren't that incompetent to choose someone with little cash and a liquidated company.

The RFL are risking everything to get this decision right. Its 100% their choice our next owner and the articles dont make great reading so something must have convinced them.

Exactly this. There would be (even more) egg on big Nige's face if this all goes t!ts up in 18 months.
