I thought he talked about someone taking over but not an investor.

| Quote ="debaser"bySurely the only viable option now is a new club, debt free, starting at the bottom, playing somewhere other than Odsal.
Anything else and we will be back here in a year or so.
Say we get a buyer who saves us and thus a 12point deduction and no chance of winning anything for a year. No season ticket sales, poor gates and a loss made every week trying to survive at Odsal. Who would take that on?
It pains me to say it, but enough is enough, let's start again and build the club up properly.
As for Odsal, well the RFL and Bradford Council can do what they like with it then. Bradford Council may one day look back on those rejected planning applications ruefully.'"
As an outsider looking in this seems to be your best option by far. It is not nice viewing from outside, at your previous admins you collectively as fans have been defiant and determined, you now seem worn out. I fear that a big points deduction and staying in the Championship will give you only more misery with nothing but an uphill slog to avoid relegation. With a further weakened squad that will be a battle.
Marc Green is the latest owner to let you down and due to his faults the club must face a sanction, but the club should also be given a chance to recover and rebuild.
If that sanction was to relegate you to league 1 with no points deduction you may be further down the ladder, but you can start to move forward, to recover and rebuild. I believe that is what you the fans need, a positive route of travel. I do not know what fan bodies you have, but rather than raise money for bad plans I think you should lobby the RFL for that action.
I do though fear the RFL may frustrate that, be it Bulls or a new Bradford Northern I think they will want any Bradford club to play from Odsal due to their iconic stadium blunder.
Good luck and keep your chins up. The only real asset that Bradford RL has are you the fans, don't forget that.

They are just deciding how they think things will pan out and applying the rules laid down in the RFL policy

| Despite what some of you are saying I still believe this is very possible and although its not likely to happen I think if it did it would be a great idea.

Thanks for that. And it's hard to argue with any of it.

| Quote ="Pacific"I've posted the following on the Wigan board. As Bradford fans, let me know your views:
Out of curioisty what would people think of the possibility of our owner Ian Lenanan buying the Bradford Bulls and using them as our reserve team and/or an academy outpost?
We could use them then to test out our players who arent getting game time
we could call up players who we have contracted to Bradford to play for us as stop gaps.
I suppose it could be a bit like Man City and New York
it would supplement our already brilliant academy and give us a hub in Yorkshire to compete with Leeds for youth talent.'"
Wigan scab.
Oh how I wish I had recorded the famous "we haven't cheated the Salary Cap" interview by Dodgy Dave Weasel.
Best of British to you Bulls fans.

Problem is that they are all mystery bidders. And that we will never see them.

| Lenahan had to give up his role at London when he bought wigan. I think the rule is you cannot own two clubs? So i cant see this happening. Good luck, its a sad day for a great club

Well three have already declared
Marc Green
Mark Lawn
Richard Lamb
I would guess the fourth is the supporters bid being talked about on Twitter between Gledhill, Simon Foster and Supporters Direct.
