Saints were one of the 5 who voted against I think. Don't worry about it.

I've said before that Whitcut seems to be the only constant in this whole sorry saga (in chronological order - Ok's right hand man, then general manager, then director (with others), then director by himself (when he took out the debenture), then potential owner, then not fit or proper... so I would think he'll have the answers. Hopefully the administrators report will illuminate some of it.

Indeed. Although that horse has bolted now.

Maybe it will also shed some light on what happened between last Thursday and yesterday?

I am sure that you are 100% correct, although whether some on here will accept your theory that whitcut is/was dodgy is another thing.

Hang on, the Sky report says there are two offers on the table?

We know about Lamb, but who has made the other offer?

Rumours on Twitter saying an offer coming in is a game changer.

Yeah it was tony Hannan

Could it be the city rumour again?

Game Changer? Money changer more likely as thats what anybody would need. A smart businessman without a lot of money (Calvert Moore etc) would not take on this albatross, but for a really stupid business man with loads of money... its a no brainer!!!

I rest my case that the RFL have decided that the only way forward is the sugardaddy way.

(edit:-) Now where was I with that hokey cokey squad list?

I'm led to believe it is a football back ground but not the two bit operation from VP.

Dukla Prague. The away kit's in City colours though so we can't be having that.

One of the serious bids for the club to the administrators is from Omar Khan. You couldn't make it up even if you tried.

Rimmed banging on about the integrity of the game! Is that what they were doing when they were makin secret loans and telling bare faced lies about the sale of the lease?

So it now turns out that the bb2014 did not ask for half a million advancement they asked to spread the cut in sky money over five years.

A bit of honesty from the sports governing body wouldn't go amiss.
