Carlsberg dont do bids but if they did ...................

Quote: Bullpower2012 "What do we know about the bidders and their finances? I have no idea which camp I’d prefer or whether they should join forces!! Park Avenue – Rumours suggest its fronted by Bob Blackburn, does anybody know anything about him, his money and his reasons for wanting to take over at Odsal? Again rumours state that BB is a drug baron! And only interested in using Odsal to further BPA and they will be become the MAIN tenant. Can anyone add further info? Omar Khan – Apart from having 2 restaurants he is rumoured to be into property. What will Mr Khan gain from taking over the Bulls? Does he have the money to push us forward, what will Sutcliffes role be afterwards if the bid is successful? And where the hell are Greenwoods/Hood and of course the dark Knight, he must be somewhere........'" On another forum there is a companies house check referred to on Blackburn quite an interesting page to look at. I suppose the RFL will be doing due diligence and I am sure such checks would be part and parcel of due diligence. Heres a link company-director-check.co.uk/director/910941867

Are you sure it's not the same one going round twice?

Is it the ' Dark knight ' , or the ' Dark Lord ' ?

I'll be glad whoever takes over, I struggle to understand there's any "evil" motives other than it could be very good business for Omar Khans and a possible ground share for BPA should they decide to.

Indeed and BPA is according to their last return insolvent and has lost money for a minimum of the last three years.
However, he may have lot of personal wealth he is prepared to invest hopefully for you.

I can only imagine the torment you bulls fans are going through - I really do feel for you and can only thank my lucky stars that we have St Eammon and a wealthy friend as a benefactor with a plan to hopefully make a profit in the not too distant future.
Anyone who makes negative comments about your club should realise that there for the grace of god goes the majority of SL Clubs.

As an outsider......

Do you expect to be SL next year?

FWIW, I want you to be, but what's the gut feeling?

Don't know if it's just me, but I haven't a clue atm.

I'm just trying to enjoy these last few matches of the season and seeing what happens after that.

I think the 'gut feeling' of individual fans is varied between the two extremes, to be honest, which can be gauged by looking at posts on this, and other threads. Which is probably only to be expected, I guess. For myself I'm sort of expecting the worst but hoping for the best, though what I think might be the 'best' or worst' changes each time something new is announced and as time drags by. Don't ask what that is based on though, 'cos it's based on nothing tangible at all.

Utterly clueless. Hearing so any rumours it is hard to select any to give credence. If I had to guess, it would be SL but that is based on gut rather than head. Head is waving the white flag.

Seemed all cushty, to me..

Still waiting for HMRC to get involved. Impossible to say until then.

Re Lord Vader: I understand that he stood down as a director of Walker Morris some weeks ago.
