Hands up I did and it was until the administrator allowed a bid after the original deadline. Credit goes to the new owner and their patience for staying with it.

Not being picky, but technically "it was until" means "it wasn't". Otherwise they'd be suing the administrator for breach of contract. But yes, credit to them for sticking with it despite the gazump, let's hope it turns out to have been worth it all round

Ah well, no new owner for Xmas. Hopefully we WILL start 2017 with someone at the helm

You are being picky, but you are correct - it was worth it

My Sunday Times Rich List is a couple of years out of date, but Sadler has given us something to run with here. skimming through the 400m ball park, some interesting names leap out:

The Queen £330m - A parting gift now that she is no longer patron of the sport?
Jack Tordoff £353m - Would make people berating the "tight fisted" sons of Bradford feel foolish.
Assem Allam £320m - The unpopular Hull city chief. Would like the fact that the club are already named after an animal.
Tony Fernandes £392m - Involved in various sports, though seems like he'd be more of a union guy (maybe we will become a union club).

Oh poop, if it is the Queen then someone owes me a pint.

I wouldn't despair it's pretty much there, and the terms of a sale like this takes a bit of work.

The secrecy is all about credibility, the new owner wants to OWN something before going public - old school

Well done Frank - I've got it - its an anagram of OLD SCHOOL,

So the new owner is O'LOCH SOLD?

So he's scottish.

Or are you saying that the old loch is sold, OLD LOCH being the ancient roman name for Odsal.
