Undoubtedly.

I'm amazed at how people are willing to take up the side of a mystery consortium who seem to have no intention of revealing themselves, never mind what their plans are. Going on the evidence of previous administrations I have followed I have no doubt that the RFL will have their hands tied in what they can say in public due to confidentiality clauses in the bid. If, for example, their plan to pay for the lease involves the RFL witholding portions of the SKY TV money for the next couple of years and taking that as repayment how will they finance a half-decent squad? I'm not saying that's the plan, but it isn't beyond the bounds of possibility.

At the end of the day we have no idea what the mystery consortium have asked for, or have planned - they can leak little things out through certain people which pins the blame on the RFL as it seems people are happy to unquestionably go along with it.

Would it not make sense for some sort of agreement between all parties? If Khan gets the nod he will surely be looking at ways to maximise the use of the stadium?

I think this is the best way forward. I would probably go and watch BPA as well if they moved to Odsal.

I think too much is being read into the YP article.

The way I read it, the other SL clubs have all agreed that SL should remain a 14 club competition and have been updated on the progress of the bids for the Bulls.

There doesn't seem to be any guarantee that the Bulls WILL be in SL next year, and I suspect that if there isn't a business plan that addresses the historic debts then the Bulls will lose their licence.

the Jamie Langley article in the tna today confirms RDMs interpretation, that one obstacle is out the way whatever else remains

Fingers crossed eh?
