Next bizarre twist : Fri Feb 14, 2014 7:12 am  

Given that the goings on off the field get more and more outrageous and Monday is by my calculations the due date for the next bombshell to be announced in the press. What's peoples' predictions for why it will be?

Ken Morrison becomes our sugar daddy, buys City and the Bees (so no favouritism between sports) builds Odsal Sporting village and a 50000 seater two pitch stadium and sells two for the price of one tickets at 20% off

...and, in more credible breaking news, Lord Lucan has just appeared at Odsal riding Shergar; Elvis has returned to announce he is financing a consortium to buy the club; after an accounting error was discovered at HM Treasury, it has now been confirmed that Britain's national debt was actually paid off years ago, so austerity is cancelled and everyone gets a £250k tax refund; and the Wakefield Supporters' Trust writes an open letter to the RFL saying SL need the Bulls.

The fact that there are now three bidders meeting the RFL today + the guys already there, this seems to have slid under the radar a bit. A few months ago 4 possible buyers would have been a big story but little seems to have been said. Maybe we are all becoming "shell shocked" and just getting on with daily life being a Bulls supporter. I just hope everything is settled early next week as that Wakey game is absolutely vital. A loss there and heads could drop badly. A win and any points reductions could be cut nicely. Big week ahead!

Will they get our players' names right in this one?

How the hell is anyone managing (or even bothering) to run the place when all they read is that there are strings of mysterious people seemingly queuing at Red Hall to be approved as potential new owners?

As the players were all TUPE'd to BB2014, but that would not be the owner of the Bulls any more if someone else wins the raffle, what the hell is/would be their employment position and status?

We have our first game this weekend yet we could be told anytime that X has now done a different deal with the administrator and now owns the club; except that the players and staff having been TUPE'd from OKB to BB2014 must be unaffected by that as whatever powers the administrator has, cancelling the effect of TUPE certainly ain't one of 'em.

Anyone got any more paracetamol? I've completely run out.

Is the letter the incredible part or that SL needs the Bulls?
