anyone now doesn't want to take on the £1m+ debt and a loss making set up for next year or 2 to secure SL licence, would rather SLE cleared debt by either settlement or liquidation then hope to pick up club and use investment to fund team not the taxman. Oh....and hope they keep SL licence as the RFL need someone to pay for Odsal upkeep

If SLE clear debt by settlement then I'd expect them to include that cost in the selling price they ask for. Other clubs would lynch them if they sold us on debt free at a loss.

The RFL may well not tell clubs that they were sold cheaply, bit like the £700k loan they made without telling anyone......lol.....

It had been reported that the BPA AND abc bids consortium had been rejected. Do i take it they have come back with revised additional unconditional bids, or is this just the number of bids in total that we have recieved?

Avenue bid seems most logical out of those assuming they have money to back it up. makes sense to have two teams using stadium and BPA's support base tends to be south side of city Iirc, so seems a better fit than City . But its a big assumption that they have the money unless there's someone else backing them.

SLE would either drop us to championship or sell us straight on which begs question why anyone they would sell us to doesnt come forward now and cut them out of deal?.

The condition attached (Bradford Park Avenue to become primary occupier/tenant) is a big stumbling block.

The ABC consortium is still very much active, while the BPA bid has one condition attached (see above).

What really is striking, is that since the intervention (30/3/12) supporters and members of the media, still hold the view/conspiracy that Chris Caisley is hiding in the darkness, pulling the strings.

Have you any indications that this might be true, or otherwise not true?

4 and a half months and not a squeak from the man that brought it all to a head. SOOOOO frustrating - and annoying. Does he care?
