So was the "get ready" in relation to the young players leaving or the no news about the new owner?

It's hard watching the academy players go but I can't help thinking that our brilliant youth set up was unrealistic. We had some of the best in the country, presumably because be paid them more than others offered? Money that we couldn't afford and part of the massive £180k per month wage bill (as claimed). All totally unsustainable.

Presumably indeed.

No surprises there then.

They started with 4 bids and they've looked at 2 of them so far; and YET AGAIN, theres gonna be further delay and continued anguish for us fans.

I hope you are wrong KCNBABT; I cant stand another weekend waiting and wondering if this will be the final nail in the coffin.

And then there were two. Soon there will be just one and then...

Deja vu. It's boring now.

There has been a total lack of communication through this whole process. I know business is not conducted like that but this is not a sock company, it's not like we can get our socks anywhere else is it?
To have the fans onside is surely paramount for any sports club. Would it kill anyone to just give an update? To say what's happening and when they are going to say something? It's just total bo**ocks and I'm sick of it all now.

Sheffield and Bulls? - as in we're going to merge?

Has that been on the cards for sometime? - I must have missed that one

The RFL would never stitch Sheffield up and force them to merge with another club
