I don't see the need to question what the two bidders motives are or where they got their money from. Both are succesful businessmen and we should be happy that we have two bidders otherwise it would be lower league rugby for us. You have to trust the rfl on this one and to be fair no businessman is going to put his money into a business without hoping to profit from it are they?

How do you know they are both sucessful?? This could be the mother of all frauds???!??!?! Or part of a larger grandiose scheme - the RFL insisted that both provided proof of funding and a business plan.......
Trust the RFL - fair comment but please explain to me what Ken Davy/Simon Moran/Hugh Hudgell/Ian Lanegan/Gary Hetherington (Caddick)/Eamon McManus etc..... etc...... get from their clubs?? They are all sucessful business men and make no profit from RL........ |

| Quote Wikipedia="Wikipedia"A drug lord, drug baron, kingpin, or narcotrafficker is a person who controls a sizable network of persons involved in the illegal drug trade. Such figures are often difficult to bring to justice, as they might never be directly in possession of something illegal, but are insulated from the actual trade in drugs by several layers of underlings.'"
Should our friend with the info not tell the RFL about this? |

There are a lot of rumours about Bob Blackburn, probably from people who don't like him. But while i have been watching BPA i can only say that i have found him to be a decent,down to earth bloke, who has not been afraid to put his hand in his pocket to support the club.
He has funded many improvements at Horsfall Stadium while the council have sat there and done nothing other than be obstructive.
If his interest in the Bulls enables Avenue to get a better stadium and improve their support, and also enables Bulls to carry on in SL then i'm all for it.

Thanks for the opinion based on experience - this is the kind of thing I want to base my preference on |

| Quote AaronBull="AaronBull"Bob Blackburn can't be involved in the Bulls bid, and isn't.
His company was recently made bankrupt, deeming him unfit and improper to be involved with sports clubs.'"
Is that a HMRC/Compnanies House rule or an RFL rule or both - just curious.
If you are in the know, who is behind the BPA bid and how will it work without Mr Blackburn? |

FA I am surprised you havent had a million  Cougars fans in no smoke without fire mode reminding you about Carl Metcalfe and what he as a rumoured drug dealer at the time of his takeover did to them, and then where he ended up. the team sold off and him in court on drugs charges.
his naked majesties government health warning: of course all reported rumours in this post bear no resemblance or relevance to any real person in the world living dead or prenatal, and the truth of rumours can go up as well as down. |
