Tweet from Ross:
3 leading parties have emerged to take control of Bulls. Wasps owner Derek Richardson is not one of them.



My guess is Green, Lamb, and Graham Lowe

Making the prediction now. Marc Green will get it back.

Re: Administration 3 - now in technicolour : Thu Nov 24, 2016 11:29 am  

Although very interesting further tweets from Ross below.


"2 of 3 parties bidding to buy Bulls have plans to develop Odsal i personally believe this is happening with next owners"

" "Bulls set to be docked 12 points for entering admin, reduced to 6 if creditors paid in full."



key for me Ross seems to think Odsal development will happen with next Odsal which suggests they could have deep pockets. Ross isn't a Mick for throwing wild speculation like that.

Thing that people tend to forget is that green has abig advantage over other bidders in that he is major creditor too. administrator has to run bids past him to see if he approves with his creditor hat on so he gets to see what other people are bidding. Also he can offer to pay 100% of debt to himself and just move money around his other companies to look like he has done. Hopefully he'd fail fit and proper person test this time though.

Out of names out in open Lowe looks most promising from a rugby knowledge point of view but not sure what financial backing his group has. We need someone that can invest some serious money. Its all well and good running as a sustainable business, but that cant really come until/if we get back into SL. At this level or lower its needs outside money coming in or a massive downsizing of club and its aspirations which would be last straw for many i think.

Wonder how many of 12 interested parties have actually been identified now? suspect it might be a total dark horse that actually gets it.

yes but develop odsal as a rugby venue or for other uses?

Damn, I was hoping Richardson would be one of the serious bidders.
Ross has also put that the parties keen to develop Odsal also have rugby experience, so I think that rules out a few of the other rumoured parties.

I still can't help but feel that the development talk is still all just pie in the sky posturing right now. Surely there hasn't been enough time for any of them to seriously look into the feasibility of doing it or how much it would cost.

I have always believed that "real" money men don't do their business in public. I hope this is the case here. If a serious buyer is out there he will probably stay out there in the shadows till he can step forward when all of the "pretenders" have had their time in the publicity spotlight. The RFL and the administrator will be saying one thing to reporters and saying other things behind a closed door.
All we can do is wait and hope this is the case and someone steps forward soon and gives us all a pleasant surprise. Lets just hope it isn't another penny millionaire again who will last one year at the most.
