Be interesting to see how many apply and what the calibre of the applicants is.

This could give another indicator of where the club are at because anyone interested would surely want to know what he was taking on and what they needed to do it.

Just simple things like.
Have the BoD got any money?
Have we even got a BoD left?
Will I get paid on time?
Will the players?
Will we have anywhere to play or get kicked out of the Shay for not paying the rent?

Not that the club are likely too say much other than.

"We have had world wide global interest and over the last 2 or 3 months we have painstakingly and rigorously vetted all interested parties."

Which likely means Left Field Larry was on holiday in Spain and will be back in a couple of weeks.

So it may be just down to whoever gets it to show some of the above.

Absolutely if at all possible get Lingard on board, it would also show that whoever is calling the shots at the club as some idea what they are doing.

Aye, Craig Lingard would be ideal.

You have to wonder what it would take to tempt him but with the compo from Cas you never know.

Well realistically he's not gonna get another superleague gigg right now so from his perspective there are three jobs that would be suitable , Bradford, fax and if Aston is finished Sheffield. With Bradford interested in Henderson Sheffields saga with Aston incomplete I would be doing the utmost to strike while the irons hot , lingard to me is the perfect fit for fax , he's a likeable character has proven championship pedigree and his known for squeezing performances out of lower budget players . Whoever sponsored widdop needs to pick up the phone now.

Quite ridiculous that Lingard was only given a year at Cas. He inherited a load of dross (Watts and Westerman in particular) and they actually did better than the season before, anyway!
