Job of an administrator like it or not is to get the best deal for the creditors.

But not necessarily the fans.

Between myself and the RFL we'll come up with a preferred bidder and they'll hopefully tick all the boxes.

Anyone else realise the significance of that admission?

Its the RFL calling the shots now. They control the one thing of value to a prospective future owner - the SL Licence - so they will decide who gets to own the club. And who does not.

Bet its the last time BG takes a job on as a favour, as he implied?

Be nice to the RFL; they own more than the stadium.

Whether Wakey et al were deducted 4 or 6 points is immaterial. The Bulls (and I speak as a Bulls supporter) should have a six point deduction if only for the embarassment factor caused by the whole farce.

That could be interpreted as "That's the last time I take on a job as a favour for my old mucka the Kaiser to try & ensure I secure him the most profitable deal for him & sod the club & fans". Possibly that's what the RFL thought.

So, the RFL is to hear the 4 remaining bids today but not likely to announce who the succesful bidder is for "a number of weeks" according to Look North this morning!

Wake me up, when September ends...

Anyone who has had to open tenders for complex projects into the millions would know it takes weeks to bottom out the necessary details. I am talking about tenders that are all supposedly fully compliant as well. The RFL would be negligent otherwise, unfortunately.

The blurb yesterday from BG was the deal to be COMPLETED in a few weeks. If the bidders are insisting on confidentiality, then we will not find out till the ink has dried.......

I should imagine today the RFl, BG and the sucessful bidder will all be in the know - then its down to the nitty gritty of negotiating the t&c's etc..... which will take a few weeks for various reasons
