I don't believe the new chap is remotely in the league of the moneybags previously mentioned. The best Bradford can hope for is a moderately well-off business savvy person. Would the Saints Chairman be something like that perhaps?

I would be over the moon with a similar person to Eamonn McManus

Me too. We need business sense and some money, not a fickle millionaire who wants a plaything (But hey I'll settle for that as second best )

No, so we can like most other SL clubs, dish out contracts that our sugardaddy will subsidise.

I dont think hes Koukash league, however he would appear to have plenty of experience of hospitality in rugby and so I would have thought has complementary skills to the BB14 trio. I would have thought 4 owners all with different skills would be the best option, particularly time wise as its a priority to get the players minds settled. and of course the more cash collectively put in the greater the probability of creditors being settled to the RFLs satisfaction.
On the other hand, if he is Koukash league, bring on the cash mountain and we'll raid Hull for a prop or two...

We haven't got any thats why we're chasing Carvell.

He was part of an unsuccessful attempt to buy London Welsh when they went into administration four years ago. The comments here don't lead me to think he is rolling in cash if that's what folk are hoping for: http://www.rugbynetwork.net/main/s691/st153660.htm

But it would be a new start, away from the bunfight of the previous few years.

Neither have we, hence the sarcasm.

Is it just me that thinks current situation seems a strange way to carry on?. Moore/watt/Calvert buy club off administrator and run it, presumably paying any bills that come in but with possibility that club could be sold to someone else within first 28 days. Presumably if that comes to pass they would get money that paid administrator for club back but what happens to any funds they've put in during that period to pay bills or funds incoming to club, eg gate from friendly/merchandise sales etc?.

Is this 28 day period normal when an administrator sells assets?

Must say this latest development poses more questions than answers.
