Which means that either, there is no-one at City involved, or that Mr Baldwin is very adept at not answering questions he doesn't want to answer. So, which is it, I wonder?

Dave has worked wonders for Bradford City.
Many of us feel that if he wasn't at City we wouldn't have a club.
Yes, Mark & Julian are the money men but Dave oversees the day to day running costs of the club.
You wouldn't go wrong with him sorting your finances out I tell you buddy!

My reply wasn't meant, in any way, as a pejorative comment, far from it. I would expect most successful business people to be able to deflect questions or keep their cards close to their chests - or however you want to describe it.

Truth is they can't always be totally open about their plans - even if they would prefer to be.

What if.......

Someone who happens to be on the current City Board sets up a new company called for example "Bradford Sporting Club PLC" and gains support from a number of business colleagues from across the District who invest in this new company. This company, BSC, then bids for and gets the Bulls. BSC then offers to "buy out" City's shareholding with a share offering from the new company, therefore effectively transferring ownership to BSC.

In this scenario, what David said last night is perfectly true, no one from BCFC is or has made a bid for the Bulls. Don't forget, I am not talking about individuals here but rather companies who are legal entities in their own right.

Therefore, both you and Bulliac are right

Surely those offers with 'minor conditions' (quote) should be rejected on that very basis!? - 'conditional'.
