The report in the paper reads:

" "The group have shown genuine interest in taking the club forward and, whilst we are cautiously optimistic regarding the outcome of these discussions, the consortium will be holding further discussions on Tuesday with the Rugby Football League.
"They will be seeking information on the situation regarding the ownership of Odsal Stadium and will be discussing the Bulls' status in the Super League competition going forward.""

Akbars (or anyone) looking to do a deal would very obviously need to:
1. establish exactly what their position was going to be in regards to a lease; very obviously nobody would ever do a deal with the administrator first, without having done a deal on the lease.
2. establish exactly where the Bulls will stand as regards Super League, wit the RFL.; very obviously nobody would ever do the deal first, and only afterwards find out whether they had bought a SL club, a Championship or Championship 1 club.

It is the first press release that makes 100% perfect sense to me.

I hope they get the assurances that they seek from the RFL.

From the same update Rhinosgirl reportedThe RFL have sent staff up to Odsal to give the Bulls practical assistance with their finances.'"

well bradford have to play at Odsal whoever finally owns them as the reason the RFL gave for buying the lease was to secure the iconic ground for rugby league. So Bulls will be there and in Super League

Looks like a Caisley Vindaloo will be on the menu shortly (extremely hot & spicy)

There's always one having the scampi and chips.

Or even worse, a korma.

Korma you Bulls

Not too sure what to make of this. Could just be badly worded. Is it that Akbar's may not be the main players in the deal or that they want the club but maybe not our main players?

Hope its not the latter.

It definitely means, not the main players of the consortium.

I was trying to work out what the reporter was saying aswell

thats how I read it too. Would imagine akbars involvement is more to do with non matchday use of coral stand as a restaurant/wedding venue with some percentage of any profits from such use filtering back to the rugby side. Whilst club have used coral stand in that capacity dont think they've ever really pushed it as much as they should and it been pretty under utilised. Leeds for example get a lot of revenue from non match day use of their hospitality facilities and is an area we should look to emulate.

Seem to remember a mention at time that RFL bought odsal that they were going to use part of coral office space for extra capacity for red hall. Would imagine part of negotiations involve this aspect as would imagine akbars would want exclusive use outside matchdays.

The update is clumsily worded on the T&A site, but I'm sure its about the makeup of the consortium - nothing to do with the players in the Bulls squad at all.

Wonder who the 'main players' are then, if not Akbars?

My worry is that this could kill off the RAAB curry guide
