Didn't Jack Tordoff turn his back on the Bulls in a previous administration?

Not sure, my thoughts came from what Frank said and trying to put 2 & 2 together, could be 4 or 104, hopefully all revealed soon

Ideal scenario in my opinion...

Marc Green has made good on his word and got investors involved. Marc and the new investors now take back control of the club meaning it's business as usual but with more cash to now invest. No loss of players in fact we are set up to recruit come the business end.

Club have managed to get away without paying the Vat to hmrc and as Marc is now back in the main creditor has been paid back. Meaning a mere 6 point penalty.

Bring it on!!!

Can't see that happening to be honest. But who knows!!!

To be honest I just want it all to come out now. The waiting is doing my head in.

Administrator says it's down to 3 parties according to Simon Parker in the T&A today.

In terms of the wider game, may depend how wide too. May have a good relationship with Nobby thus a link to Eric Perez? Another shot in the dark but could be a possibility although with the facilities sharing woth Toronto now not happening not sure if there was any fall out

No way would the RFL allow us not to pay our tax bill and only inflict a 6 point penalty. We should get 12 minimum if the above were to happen. I also think a lot of fans wouldn't sign up to the Bulls if Green is still involved.

For me, Caisley gets my vote.

Tong costs a bit to rent. I wouldn’t be surprised if we’ve had trouble finding the money in the past. I know in an ideal world the club would like their own facilities but that’s a long way off. Sharing costs with Toronto sounds alright in theory but not sure in practice.

I see some posters are focused on the next owner in terms of continuing support...

I beg to differ here.

For me, its Rohan Smith and the squad who are the keys. (Not saying ownership not important here)

There is no way on earth I am walking out on the setup we have now (from Rohan down) - its far better than it was under Ferres/Lowes...

I am waiting on (a) owner announcement and (b) retention of Rohan's services.

Once they are both confirmed - three member passes will be purchased - regardless of owner..

Cannot see the point in penalising RS and the boys just because we don't approve the owner...

Guess I will be a minority here, unfortunately.

Its funny, when I go and donate my pint of blood, they always ask why it's white, red, amber and black

You have to feel sorry for supporters of other teams. All they can talk about in the Close Season is Christmas and next season.
