Have the RFL mentioned a timescale? Any chance of a decision before the start of the season do we think?

I've pm'd you.

You'd hope that the RFL are looking at pushing this through ASAP so that a team could be in place and ready to go for the start of the season

Personally, I want someone who's going to run things sensibly enough that we don't end up in debt again. If that means a slightly less competitive team, I'm ok with that. But it's getting the balance between that and staying competitive enough that we still have some hope of advancement.

That being said, it's going to need someone with some money to bankroll the first season. We're going to be in a state in 2017 so it needs someone with money to help us tread water while things get levelled out and settle down again. Someone coming in with no money but expecting fans to stump up isn't going to cut it. Hence why I don't want Lamb or Moore anywhere near the club. I don't trust either of them one little bit.

I'm sure I have read somewhere they wanted ideally to sort it by Friday but I may be wrong.

Money. Or it'll be a case of 'same time, same place next year?'

Could ask Stuart Duffy I mean Frank Whitcombe when it will be resolved?

Summarises some of what has been going on today. Mentions the Batley game at the end.

It's not David Thorne who is getting the club, so Stu Duffy lifeline to stay in position has gone. Good riddance to a truly nasty piece of work.

For selfish reasons for my sons career can I ask for both?

I've seen Billy Bull$hit say it, so that means nothing at all. Haven't seen anyone else specifically say Friday though.

I expect it takes as long as it takes, but bearing in mind when the season starts, I'm sure they appreciate it needs sorting sooner rather than later.

Are you saying you no who is getting the club?
