I still don't get why they waited until the last minute. It's not eBay.

Hopefully this whole sorry affair will be sorted soon,
Backer the knows RL with money and we can crack on..

If it's a 6 point deduction we still have a chance.

We just need a bit of Dunkirk spirit.

I'd guess the two that submitted bids but now out of running were clearly inferior bids to one still in running. Admin waiting for full detail of late bid, which was due this evening to see if it's better or not.

According to Mick, Roberts the Billionaire is still one of the Bidders for the bulls.

I'd take all the salt in the sea with what Mick says. Not like hes got a reputation of hearing a rumour and then putting it out as absolutely fact #InTheKnow

I would suggest the last 2 bids have some cash. With Roberts interested last time, it would seem more likely he COULD be one of tje bidders. But i won't throw names out there and make them out as fact but with no substance and getting fans hopes up.

Re: Administration 3 - now in technicolour : Fri Dec 09, 2016 9:09 pm  

Well IF Roberts is indeed one of the two then he must have been the late bidder - since we already knew that the Irvine/Madjeski bid was on the table - or was it? Who really knows?

Also, wasn't it doing the rounds that Roberts was the financial muscle behind Caisley's bid?
