Right where do we start.This is info/rumours I have been told since the RFL ratified the new owners 2 or 3 week ago.

First of all I have heard a new overseas player to be announced in next few days,don't know his name/position/nationality but somebody has signed.

More importantly the RFL have met with 3 parties who are interested in taking over the Bulls.One of them includes a certain lady who got a lot of free publicity posing in a Bulls kit in the snow at Odsal earlier this year, one of the parties I know nothing about and the 3rd interested party runs a football club in the Manningham area of the city

These are not Joe Tamani rumours although he told me a week ago all is not well behind the scenes,I took it with the usual full bottle of salt at the time

With Heath leaving I take it we have space for an overseas signing so could have strength. I also feel we could see someone else (not necessarily overseas player) join or leave before year starts.

I noted said female kit model had made a comment on Facebook that she would like to have come back and either stated or hinted at speaking to rfl. RFL themselves said they had spoken to several parties who had shown an interest. IF someone was genuine and they felt may be more able to provide stable situation for club why would they ratify rather than invite other offers?
Think the Manningham lot made enquiries late about a year ago but were put off by stadium issues.heard from a friend more in know with them and sounded true he had hinted there had been recent interest as well.
So as rumours go sound true...

Wonder who the overseas player will be and what position?

Regarding the overseas player,apparently he's played in the World Cup,don't know who for though,but that narrows it down to about 246

The three parties are so interested they never got around to phoning Omar Khan and saying, 'if you're interested in selling, can we meet'? Instead they contacted the governing body who don't own the club? Meanwhile the guy who did own the club sold it to somebody else.

Doesn't this sound like utter cobblers?

I think the first person to predict this new signing was a poster called FC who said he was going to watch the world cup to find a "rough diamond". If his prediction is correct he should get all the acclaim he deserves.

Dom as you note, likewise Solly said that three parties had contacted the rfl and could be alternatives if the new owners did not come up with the business plan etc forthwith.

so are these new rumours or merely recycled PR releases?

Anyway after that dose of big deal, who has caught the eye of FC for a position we need strengthening? Prop or centre? Me Im hoping for a barnstorming prop with a great offload, as even the very worst centre plays better with the ball than without it, and we need more than 4 frontline plus Ben to see us through the season

That's like saying the Avon lady who knocks on your door could buy the bulls, is she just a distributor or something else? There's been lots of discussion from lots of areas on whether she has the funds to do what she's spent a lot of time talking about, I have no idea whether she has or hasn't, but I do know she's made a lot of noise about attending forums to ask difficult questions or put the record straight and then never does. The club needs stability and I'm not sure whether she'd bring that, irrespective of whether she has the club at heart or not.

There was a big lad up front for Tonga who looked quite good. He had massive hair and a repetitive name, but I can't for the life of me remember his name.

Would love to see some proof of that. From what I know its somewhat of a start up franchise (from the US parent group) in a Harrogate business park.
