    Not sure what Fordys problem is? He should be excited that there is a guy who has been there and done it before wanting to possibly take our club forward. It may turn out to be bollocks but Jenkins has definitely shown an interest. I get a feeling our local paper knows but has been told to keep schtum, hence the piss poor attempt at deflection on twitter.

    Why don't you offer us your opinion as to why you don't think it will happen, Chad. That's how these thing work.

    Very nearly choked on my honey nut cornflakes reading that! Thought the Mrs was going to need to perform the Heimlich manoeuvre on me [she'd probably have checked the life insurance policy whilst I was turning blue though].

    Is that your very own sobriquet for Sullivan and Gold or one employed by most Hammers fans?

    I prefer an analogy with the Dingles. Burnley is similar, but smaller than Bradford.

    Oh I have no problem and I hope it's true. Jenkins would be perfect for this club.

    I would have thought a complete buy out from Rupp would be unlikely. He's got the sort of money that would allow him to play a longer game and hopefully recoup a bigger chunk of his investment.

    I wouldn't be surprised though, if it was a percentage sale to share some of the risk and a change of management structure with Julian getting out.

    Time will tell and Chad might be right but I would have thought that if there was nothing in this story, either the club or Mr Parker would have said something by now.

    One would assume Parker meant the McBurnie to Sheffield deal? Rather than the Bradford to Swansea deal that took place 5 years ago... Would you wait 5 years to thank somebody?

    So if its the McBurnie to Sheffield deal... That was August 2019 and Jenkins had left in February 19. So he wasn't there at the time.

    Either way therefore, the explanation for the contact doesn't add up.

    I've done a little check on the site, and it was set up shortly after he left Swansea.

    I would have thought potentially the contact could be to engage him on either a consultancy basis, or some kind of percentage buy out with Prescience taking over the running of the club?
