So what is the motivation to do the job for Chalmers and Lowe?

No money to be made.

A high likelihood of failure.

Tons of work needed.

I'm stumped as to why they're bothering? What's the motivation?

They get the opportunity to lose their houses?
They need to divest themselves of some assets?
Lowe wants to test to see how good his cardiac bypass actually is?

Exactly!

WTF?

The land deal at Odsal.

And what deal might that be?

The land at Odsal seems a long way to come for something the RFL don't look to want to give up too easily.

Agree so there is probably more in the detail (I.E. finances then we are privy to)

Unless they wanted to give it up to someone they already knew so they knew they could work with them. I wonder which of the bidders fulfilled that criteria?

KCNBABT, thought they had no money?

Maybe if I held the lease and wanted to make some money out of it and ensure that RL was still played in Bradford in some capacity I’d be wanting to do a deal with someone I thought I could trust and control.

So imagine I get an old pal to keep the club ticking over for a bit in the meantime while a deal is done thus unlocking some money for us all and possibly the RL team too in the end.

My pal may have no money but I could, with the help of the governing body, keep it on life support until the deal is done. Then hey presto my mate is taken care of and all is well.

Just a theory.
