Just look what happened to Leeds utd after a series of white knights came to the rescue.'"
What extreme concern could be worse than having no club at all? |

If I was of a cynical disposition, it might just cross my mind as to why such a concerned group of property developers could see the likeliehood of turning a profit in Bradford Bulls Rugby League Club.
And if I had a cheeky pound, I think it would be on The Bulls lasting 12/18 months under this lot before folding, due to......(insert suitable financial/political/sporting explanations) whilst these guys got on with their core business of property development......possibly on the back of a 999 year lease at Odsal.
I wonder what odds Willie Hill would give me?

I thought the consortium consisted of Mumtaz as well as Akbars?
I actually prefer Akbars on Leeds Road to Mumtaz . |

You may not be far off here , the fact that this consortium will only go ahead if the lease is sold back and the bulls are gauranteed a place in super league is very telling . I can see a move to VP in the not too distant future . |

The Guilfoyle is the only one certain to be paid in all of this and everything must go! |

The owners in the long run of the stadium are Bradford council and they will be unlikely to overturn any existing sporting use covenants if it left the Bradford Bulls homeless. If alternative, viable, scenarios are presented that would be different - but the idea of this being some sort of asset stripping exercise is ludicrous. |

a - They would only buy back the lease, the land would still be owned by Bradford Council so they would have to buy before they could develop on it.
b - I think I am right in saying (?) that Odsal is contaminated land due to it's past life as a tip so they wouldn't be allowed to build housing on it anyway. |

You don't need to own the freehold in order to develop leasehold land. |

property development doesnt just mean housing though , warehousing / distribution centres just off major motorway links could be very attractive indeed |
