Was there ever any truth in Steve Parkin wanting to invest in the Bulls, or would he only do it as a joint venture with City ?

he's your only chance after admin has stripped the club of all assets

I take it you are talking Steve Parkin (Clipper) as opposed to Steve Parkin (Assistant manager Bantams)

Only a bulls fan with money will bail club out before. If you are thinking Steve Parkin would do this that would be incorrect he's more than likely to wait for Admin and buy cheaper and same would apply to any other shrewd businessman

Agree

Does anyone know if there's any truth going around that Steve Parkin is looking to buy the club for a nominal fee and pump in a bit of cash. Looked at buying Wakefield but decided not to pursue.

Russell Crowe is in the UK at the minute filming les Miserables, surely someone can tap him on the shoulder and ask for a donation to keep a SL team afloat.

Last I heard, Parkin wanted the Odsal site for development, and to buy Bradford City with Bulls sharing VP to reduce his costs.

He'd be better off buying Bulls and renting Odsal at reduced proce from RFL

That is a much more astute suggestion than it might first appear!!

:vsizfdnj

Get Russell to Buy the Bulls then he can have a team in each hemisphere he will also be able to move players between clubs Sorted!!

Well he's doing alright for Guiseley,he's investing in both the team and infrastructure,with little promise of profit but plenty of success on the horizon,I personally think he would be a great asset to the Bulls.

If there ARE interested parties out there, I can see that over the next few days we will see them setting the scenes and promoting their cases by proxy across the social media. We saw that at Wakey, and I'm sure that Wakey was no exception.

I wouldn't necessarily welcome just anybody. I'm pretty sure many Glasgow Rangers fans welcomed Craig Whyte with open arms and look what happened there. As has been said, owners of Rugby League Clubs lose money (average losses are £600k per year), so it seems you'd have to be a fan to invest - is Steve Parkin really a Bulls' fan?

Interestingly, Peter hood has just been on Radio Leeds and said, "If there are people interested in investing in the Bulls, they're not forming a queue at the door".

If there is one thing which I feel is pretty certain it's that [iall[/i the required money isn't going to come from everyday fans such as myself, and I guess the majority of others, on here.

For sure.

Difference, of course, between someone interested in "investing" in an existing spiorts club, and someone interested in buying the assets (such as they are) off an administrator.

This deal should be a piece of cake for Parkin.

Taxi...sorry chauffeur-driven limo, for TT

Correct. It'd be the same difference as between 'buying' and 'giving'.
