    I'm not sure presently they are "one of Bradford’s and now the UK’s biggest names" they may become one if the take over happens and the new owners want to expand if that is feasible, I can't think of company the above applies to.

    Companies based in Bradford don't come much bigger than one of the UKs big four supermarkets

    Soon to be US owned, and our Gov fold their arms and let it happen. Sheer madness.

    Yet Morrison's as a local company have had little interest in Bradford City in the past, where as JCT600 have always been proud to sponsor the club.

    Good question….. ? Clearly Morrison’s ticks that box, but I would be very very very surprised.

    It says Morrison's have agreed a takeover offer from a consortium in a deal worth £6.3bn, but surely until the deal is signed sealed and delivered that line of thought can't be a runner, he enjoys his little cryptic challenges does Ryan.
    He says its soon to be announced, Monday could be a busy day, new big sponsors, new kit, possibly another signing and the fans great effort with regards how many season tickets we've shifted.

    Yes Morrison’s have agreed that offer but expect bigger offers to follow from others .Amazon is apparently a front runner. In other words it’s now set up to be an auction , knowing that Morrison’s accepted the offer, they won’t refuse larger offers.

    Very much like clubs hoping several clubs get a bidding war against each other for one of your players.
