    My understanding is there has been or will be a offer made in the near future to the board to buy the club. I don't know too much more but am confident this has serious legs to post about it.

    Is it an offer that will tempt the current owners?

    Is this a different group to the consortium talked about before?

    Shall just have to wait and see. If it does pan out I hope they ditch some of their current friends as one of them can not keep a secret

    The current board member/s have a lot of money, they are just not interested in spending it at Bradford City

    @Ricky@Ricky I know that there were some rumours a few weeks ago but I thought that they’d gone away. However, someone told me today that the interest is still there so I’m encouraged that you’ve heard similar. The person who told me today has got inside info before but not too often.

    For me the key has to be Rupp - if rumours are correct and he’s lost interest then surely if he’s offered his money back then he’d snap their hand off. Edin as such a minority stake holder would have very little say.

    Fingers crossed.

    Ok whom ever it is better have deep pockets to spend on BCAFC next season.
    And for the record I think only one board member is cash rich, which is a very different matter

    I think there are people who are interested. I just don’t think the owners want to sell

    Do we really need the further unrest buying the club is likely to take months and impact on pre season and any attempt to build a promotion squad it will also put off would be managers as new owners look to bring in their own man

    Bad timing if it’s true I’d rather stick with the Germans and see if they have learnt from their first season which I think they have

    We had enough unrest unless it’s Dynamo then I’m in as he’s magic

    Can't say a consortium (horrible word in football btw, never usually ends well "too many cooks" and all that) led by Mark Lawn participatory excites me, unless he's found some rich business man or women willing to spunk a lot of cash. The same Mark Lawn who claimed he'd sold to safe hands, who we're going to take us forward the man's a gob shite and I can't believe some are lapping him up as a saviour.

    At this point I aren't to arsed either way though atm, too those who are desperate for this to go through, don't get your hopes up to much that's all I'll say on the matter.
