[quote="gardener":1fa6rfqi]When you read the link who could the ex player be coming back with the bid? Jon Wells?[/quote:1fa6rfqi] Have I missed the bit where it says Ex player ?

[quote="Returnwr to SEnder":1yauassy]Have I missed the bit where it says Ex player ?[/quote:1yauassy] No, it says experienced administrator. If it was an ex-player, Wells is in a very very small group of......1. I can't think of any others. Wouldn't be adverse to him returning as he was one of the more resilient northerners who played for us. The club is pretty short on rugby nowse.

Whilst i am a tad more than slightly apathetic towards this alledged take over, i am struggling to see any benefit for any potential new owner. As it stands and as far as we know, we are renting a decent stadium that we will not fill 25% of in 2025. We have a core of about 250/400 full time supporters, a squad of maybe 10 known names and a handful of trialists. We have an office space/port-a-cabin at a low level Union club and we train on their plastic pitch. If Hughes walked away leaving us debt free, then any new owner is picking up a tab of about £10,000 a week (minimum) to get us through 2025 and nearer £20,000 a week to make any inroads into the areas of fiscal stability required for growth...ie, fans and sponsors. Now. I have no doubt that there are plenty of people out there with a few million to spare, but I believe there are other clubs in our division just as close to IMGs numbers, so in reality, any new owner is looking at £10,000,000 over 5 years, just to get us into SL......and that would be dead money. As I say. I am a little bit more confident of us seeing out the entire season now, but after witnessing the series of false dawns and crap owners at Bradford a few years back, I have serious concerns about how much money our new owners have, if any.
