In the Humberside interview he I’m sure he said that he believes that Hull and Leeds are the two clubs that ‘could’ be self sufficient.

Obviously we haven’t been self sufficient since 2020 at least maybe longer but it was with the caveat that we would need a team performing well on the pitch and getting 13-15K crowds. We are a million miles away off being self sufficient at the moment.

Think it’s more likely Grudgell is clawing back the money he’s put in to keep the Dobbins going over the years.

A couple of individuals have the mortgage for Caravan Park, not the club itself, so that’s where the income goes. The rugby club will still be reporting big losses.

Whatever, it’s still a dump.

Not sure how true but heard Kirkham from DFS is one with Thirkill, probably a load of rubbish

Guaranteed sales all year round then if true!

There is no mortgage, but you keep telling yourself there is if it helps you sleep at night.

Kirkham has been around a while on the rumour mill my pal asked Adam outright a couple of weeks ago in the lounge and he wouldn't comment. Loads of names being bandied around as far as I know Dan doesn't know anything more than he's been assured it's ongoing and likely happening but the secrecy is tight as a drum about whose involved and despite what some say on here that secrecy extends completely to the nature of the deal Takeover/investment. partnership so we just have to wait and see. I expect though it would be useful for all concerned to learn the outcome before the conclusion of the IMG submissions.
