I think its obvious that DH is trying to work something out even now. The RLWC has obviously put a spanner in the works but now they may be able to get the attention of the wheeler dealers who wield the power. DH we are told favoured AK at the Hive but it sounds like he has pulled out according to what we hear on these boards. So that leaves the second 'unknown' to us investor who DH regards as a last resort. If they say they can 'fly alone' im sure DH will just hand over the reigns and let them try as long as it doesnt cost him. If they still need his money for a couple of seasons and they havnt got the assurances then i guess he is likely to be a case of just pouring his money down the drain.

AK didn't come across as being remotely interested in taking over the Broncos when interviewed in the press. He said that he had limited facilities and as far as he was concerned, there were others that he could rent a ground to.

If there is a second less committed partner then you reallz have to wonder why AK was considered "more promising".

Similar position (+ debts of £600,000) to the one Salford were in this time last year.

Things can change overnight. Keep the faith and good luck.

1) stupid strategy to keep holding out so long - you're flirting with disaster, it hacks all the fans off and from a PR perspective it looks absolutely terrible

2) Why would any power broker take us even remotely seriously? An outgoing owner who is rich but prone to making terrible decisions, a Chief Executive who makes Mr Bean look savvy, and a fanbase that has totally disappeared.

You wonder how anyone could, at this stage, make a serious case for us

Gary Carter (sports journo) just tweeted that you are waiting on one phone call. Make of that what you will.

Ramsdale- "The London Broncos hope to be granted further 10 days to finalise a deal for their future. Application in court tomorrow."

Another 10 days? is going to take us close to Christmas period? what can we put together in January, unless some moves have been made provisionally with players.

Great.....so we will know in 2 weeks then........sounds familiar, I am sure I have heard that somewhere before?

Surely players of SL standard can't risk being left without a club any longer unless they are players below the NRL who havn't got a NRL contract yet.

If we can get a permanent ground then this, while crazy, will have a good end

I can't see how this is positive.

I presume that this is ten working days rather than ten days so another ten working days onto tomorrow's date leaves you on the 18th December if my Maths is correct and I believe the Super League is scheduled to start on the 15th February 2014 and that is a period of just shy of two months.

So in two months the club is expecting to find a playing squad, find a backroom team, appoint members of staff to the business side of the club, find sponsors, find a kit and training kit manufacturer and will have to complete deals for the insurance side of the game that many of us are aware of.

I just fail to see how the club could get all of that done in such a short space of time. I also fail to see how the club could find a squad capable of fighting off relegation because that would be a massive target for the club next year.

Even if Marwan Koukash has a twin brother who's keen to become the biggest side on the planet, there wasn't overnight success at Koukash's Salford and there wouldn't be at a London side, whoever the owner. With relegation likely to be a part of Super League, I personally think it would be disastrous if there was a London side in Super League that had thrown a team together in less than two months. It would be almost storybook like if a London side managed to get together in two months and stave off relegation but the chances of that happening are slim.

We are asking for 10 further days, but it could be resolved in days! not saying that will help with recruitment, but as Darthcrhis says if it is a permanent home.

to quote George Clooney's character in O Brother Where Art Thou:

"well, ain't this place a geographical oddity - two weeks from anywhere!"
