I wonder whether the uncertainty over the structure of SL beyond next year might be an issue. It looks like things are going to be shaken up significantly, with 2 or even 4 relegated next year.

I thought hudge's comments about "dealing with the historic debt" were interesting. Admin and new co to give the new owner a clean slate?

I do read sum stuff on there, gosh there are sum nasty comments put on there and it's actually brough I don't shop in Beverley and I just happen to bump into them in the aisles then I do a little chase then they run, funny that I ant seen any in there for a while dont know why

As I understand it nh and rc underwrite our losses, so with a newco they themselves would be the ones to lose out. I can understand why they might want a new owner to take on some of it as a show of good faith, or why they might want it left on the books to retain some influence. I can also see why a new owner might want a clean slate - but the admin and newco route seems a long-winded and pointless way of getting there all round.

Or maybe voltiare is right and you have debts with HMRC. Possibly what hudge is alluding to with his comments re getting through to the end of the season? I'd be surprised if these 2 rovers fanatics were going to hamper a new owner with paying them back the money they've lent to rovers

All hail prince Elab of Allam ..

I've not seen or heard anything to indicate that, so I personally doubt it - it'd put a different complexion on things, certainly.
While I don't think they're in a position to play hardball, I can imagine they might prefer to retain a stake or see a show of commitment, depending on who the buyer is. Whether that is realistic, I'm not sure. It'd be unfair on a sponsor who is helping out to keep us going in the future, to expect them to take on a big chunk of the historic debt. On the other hand, you might worry about the intentions of a new owner unwilling to make even a token contribution - could be viewed as either shrewd or potentially a bit predatory.
I must admit, with a prospect of ongoing losses, if it were me, I'd want most of it written off.

what does anyone think of what was in dave the nosey parker today, it reads hull kr chairman neil hudgell said yesterday(sunday)morning that talk off imminent local investment coming in was "not sorted and all a little premature."he also laughed off rumours that russell crowe was ready to invest along with ex-rovers player clint newton and his dad. he did confirm,however,that second rower constataine mika's agent was free to offer him around as they had not offered him a new deal. that to me doesn't sound very good like a investor isn't coming forward after all so guess its a waiting game

I disagree I think mika not been offered a new deal is more to do with him been crap rather than a lack of forthcoming investment

The cheques in the post mate.

100% agree. If you chucked a new contract at Mika he's drop the pen.

i will second that, i believe that Mika would have been released in any case, with or without an investor.
Personaly i think he has been a bit of a disapointment overall and the club will be looking for someone a little more reliable an less error prone as his relacement.

Absolutally, he would be a great addition, however if he does want to come back to the area i'm sure Hull fc will attempt to resign him, you never know though.

Lets get Stan out of retirement he would be better then mika at least he would give you blood sweat and tears
