Marc Green is still in the running if this part of his original statement is to go by
"I will be working closely with the Administrators over the coming weeks and it is my intention to regain this club from them within the shortest practicable time frame"
Although I would think he's hoping he wont have to, apparently he's been putting in a similar amount monthly that Degsy is purported to be doing at Leigh
Now getting interesting

| The administrator's comments in that article suggest to me that Green won't be in the running as he talks about supporters being buoyed and confident with the three main parties who may take over.
If he has any idea at all about how supporters currently feel then he would never put those two words in a sentence describing how supporters might feel about Marc Green.
The fact that all three have had experience in rugby makes it interesting though. That could still include Green. It could include Koukash. It could also include Lamb because he doesn't specifically say Rugby League. Although he does say they know the players and the game well.
Still a complete guessing game and I'm starting to think we may be surprised by the outcome.
Encouraged that deadline for offers is today and this may all be resolved asap.

| Yes, positive article that does seem to suggest it won't be Green who gets it.
But then, we are used to nasty surprises.

If this were indeed Marc's aim, why was he not able to avoid admin by providing the funds to do so? No one can be certain, but he has been suffering a cash flow problem and the Club has long been treading water under him.

I think that sentiment would be shared by many.

This guy has got to be the most optimistic Administrator ever. I'm trying to remain sceptical and wary about all of this, but man this guy is making it difficult.
Who the hell is bidding for our club?

| bit I'm nervous of is, once administrator accepts a bid he then passes it on to RFL for approval. Thats where it can all come a cropper.

If you're gonna make a judgment on people's wealth by the motor they happen to drive then you could be described as naive

I know what you mean, but he has said a few times that he's had meetings with the RFL. You'd like to think he will have had a quiet word with the RFL to weed out the no-hopers?
Then again, this is the RFL we are talking about here...

| Quote ="Ferocious Aardvark"I am not a "proponent" of anything but a simple stater of the facts. I have quoted you the relevant part of the agreement too. If you won't take it for what it is (fact) then it's a bit strange of you but I frankly couldn't care less. Like faked moon landings or a non-flat earth, you are free to believe in or doubt whatever you like.
Although I am sure the substantial majority of those taking an interest know it was half money for 2 seasons, so it may be just you.
It can be referred to as deduction of a year's money, because in amount and principle, that's what it was, AND it can be referred to as 50% of distrib. x 2 years, because that was the only concession they were prepared to make (presumably realising that it was lunacy to even imagine a club existing for Year 1 with zero money).
Also, how could you possibly think I was suggesting OK was "duped", when I have many times explained that the Sky deduction thing was dropped on his toes at the very last minute, and he had a stark choice to accept it, or walk away and let the club fold. "Put on the spot" is the phrase you are looking for. The fact we have a club now, precarious though it is, is because of his acceptance.
I await with interest the first peep out of the RFL as to whether they are going to rob the new entity (assuming there is one) of a year's funding, or whether that was just a one-off special. If yes, then the new owner to escape 12 points will need to pay off somewhere north of £1.5m, and have 50% less money in the first 2 years. (And, I wouldn't be surprised, be on the share of the bottom club, and not one which finished 4th).'"
Why should new entity get share of club which finished 4th? surely they should get our share for finishing 5th

| Surely Marc would only regain control of the club if he proved to the administrator that he had the money to run it? But then, If he really had the cash to pay off the Revenue then why didn't he do so before? If the administrator passed on the right to run the club [which I believe is still a going concern, not an insolvency to someone who didn't have the funds to pay the wages then surely he would be in breach of one of his basic obligations? If Marc had those funds why did he bring in the admin?
Somehow, I can't see it being Marc.

| Not sure when it happened, but I notice new U16 pictures and (mini) profiles have been loaded to the website at some point recently. I'm hoping that's a sign the academy won't take much of a hit out of this, as that's got to be our biggest commodity right now.

Does seem to be a totally different feel around the club this admin compared to previous ones. Very much seems to be business as usual at odsal. Their still selling season tickets as if nothings going on.

Seems business as usual while the admin is happening, which is surely a good sign. Certainly better than the Guilfoyle days of making everyone redundant.

| This Administration is completely underwhelming regarding excitement. Makes me look forward the the next one even more.
From a taxpayers point of view I find it immoral if Greene is going to get his money back before HMRC. Whilst not their biggest fan I tend to think that any money that somebody avoids paying leaves me and other tax payers to make up the difference.

| Do you think that the RFL would assist Bulls fans with travel to Coventry for home games. Would be fantastic for RL to have a side playing along side Wasps in Coventry. Administrators preferred choice. Interesting money, bags owner

I wouldn't worry, there IS no money, and in terms of a buyer, there would be no point in paying back some of the debt, if the full points deduction still applies, as has been strongly suggested will be the case unless it's all paid off.
Not a word on losing one year's distribution money either, so far, but any new buyer would have to factor that one in.

Ross made the claim he believed Richardson wasn't a bidder it's not fact.

True but Ross is usually fairly circumspect about mentioning names unless hes fairly sure of his facts. If it was gledhill tweeting it then i wouldnt give it credence but when its in physical T&A it tends to be more accurate.

| Just read the article linked to the T&A, must say as a neutral that it actually sounds very promising, unless Green gets the gig (which I hope he doesn't).
Hopefully something very good can come from something bad in the not to distant future.
Best of luck.

No - Ross said that Pettit had CONFIRMED that Richardson was no longer in the running. Not speculation.
