Interestingly, Peter hood has just been on Radio Leeds and said, "If there are people interested in investing in the Bulls, they're not forming a queue at the door".

If there is one thing which I feel is pretty certain it's that all the required money isn't going to come from everyday fans such as myself, and I guess the majority of others, on here.

For sure.

Difference, of course, between someone interested in "investing" in an existing spiorts club, and someone interested in buying the assets (such as they are) off an administrator.

This deal should be a piece of cake for Parkin.

Correct. It'd be the same difference as between 'buying' and 'giving'.

Can't see much of a problem with Mr Parkin if you compare him to our largest shareholder who sems to spend most of his time selling our best youngsters to Australia

Compare you to us last year. Why would Parkin want to invest now? It will cost him a million quid and he will be stuck with the existing management structure. Do you think Glover at our place would have handed over half a million just so Ted Richardson could stay in charge? No, if he is going to invest, he will let you go into administration, get you for next to nothing, sweep away all the old debts, and put his own people in charge, like Glover did. And we are all the better for it.

My own suspicion is that Parkin is keeping an eye on Wakey in case our stadium gets the go ahead (we will know within two months), as then he can have his football team playing out of a brand new stadium.

Couldn't agree more, any serious investor/business person will just do a deal with the Administrator!

The quest is simply delaying the inevitable, Hood himself says SL clubs are basically not solvent and without long term investment we'll be here again in a year

If you analyse our recent trading history we've needed a player sale or loan every year for the last 5 or 6, so I don't know who Hood thinks he's been kidding and my continued criticism of this regime over the years looks justified!

Hood says investors aren't queuing up, no poo Sherlock, you've just advertised a fire sale and you're on the bonfire! The blokes a clown, really! Theyll be queuing up a plenty when KPMG are called in
