The bedman and his cronies are still lurking.The wasp is still buzzing.

Yes, you keep thinking that Harry; oh and welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the welcome jimmy.Been viewing for a while now and thought Id join the party.

The Lamb is still bleating. (Or tweeting ? )

So in 420 pages all we actually know is
The players are pi**ed off.
And the bidders could be anyone from A1 taxis to the bloke who owns most of jet2

At least frank, aka Stuart, has shut up

Anyone fancy letting the cat out the bag?

Basically Lamb is in LE this week saying he would take the club on if liquidated and encourages the RFL to see that happen. He is teamed up with Damian Irvine and would look to form a supporter trust to help run the club, presumably because he hasn't got the funds. He reckons all other bids are only interested in Odsal.

Chalmers was told by administrator that his bid would have left the creditors worse off than if they liquidated (which is what I'd heard also).

So it seems that it's either the current bidder or liquidation with possible Lamb picking up the pieces and trying to get the supporters on board.

Summary of RL Express article
1. Lamb says he and Irvine are prepared to come in if club liquidated - others only interested in Odsal not the rugby club. Not interested in buying out of admin
2. Chalmers says he and Lowe had capital but their offer was rejected by administrator as he considered by Mr P as worth less than liquidation route.
He says only assets were/are "desks and chairs and last years shirts". He understands there is another( unnamed) bid being considered.

Sound like we are f***ed then.

Do not understand point 2 , can anyone expand !

Well in a word... yes it would seem so. Certainly not expecting any big money buyer who is willing to bankroll the rebuild. Though remember that Chalmers/Lumb have a vested interest and do not have a clue what any of the other bidders are offering or indeed who they are.

But I'm not feeling particularly optimistic right now.

If the club is liquidated, the admin would sell all remaining assets and the creditors would be paid out of the funds raised in doing so.
Despite there supposedly not being much there in the way of assets to sell, Chalmers is saying that his offer to the creditors was so sh*t that liquidation would actually have raised more money.

So basically he wanted the club for next to nothing and now he's bitching in the press about it. Also not sure how Lamb knows anything about other bids given that all bids are private. My guess is he's just full of sh*t too just like he was in the last admin.

Yep, Lamb's strategy of buying if liquidated because he cares about the rugby seems rather at odds. If you want the club Richard then buy it.

Oh you can't can you?
