but its more to do with the land and reasons for not signing sooner, also they didn't want any of the young players to go which is like having the cream with the cake

If all they were interested in was the land and the leasehold, surely they would have made a bid from the off?
If they don't want any of the young players to go, that must indicate they're interested in the club as a going concern?
Any buyer will try and get the best deal they can.

not necessarily its only like a last minute bid on ebay most business men would do the same, got a nice little rotivator for half the price
the players are just meat if you have some prime cuts it costs you more simples

Or thy would rather sell the players themselves so they get the money rather than the administrator.

Don't get your point now, mate. They don't make their interest known earlier (so they're clearly not interested), then they come in late (and they're just looking for a bargain, like the rest of us).

Maybe Guilfoyle's voicemail wasn't activated in the pub in Ilkley?

not a case of not being known early its more of they are the only ones interested, I think Bradford will be saved but will end up being moved away from Odsal as its too big and losses money, now what do you do with the land

You don't make big money from the majority of young players. Certainly not from young players with no valid contracts.

but they would have new contracts with the newco club, if they don't they could move now for nowt

It makes you wonder if Halifax are monitoring this situation closely. If Bulls come through this they may have their lawyers all over this as they should have had Bradfords place if the RFL would have done some more stringent checks when it came to the license process.

I'd sell the lease to Venky's, obviously, to create the world's largest iconic chicken farm.

That's kind of the point I'm trying to make - they don't have valid contracts with any newco, so if they, like all other players, want out, then they're out. They have no value to the newco until they sign newco contracts.
