would it be worth selling bateman. I am a big fan of him but to save the club i think we will have to sell him especially if its a 6 figure sum.

be lucky if you get 6 figures now, vultures will wait and pick over the bones

i've heard Cas Tigers lining up a bid for Danny Addy.

for addy?

If it was the only option to save the club then yeah.

If we can make it through this without selling John that would be the first option though!

Sell your players now in a vain attempt to save the club, and ultimately call open season on yourselves or have it done by the administrators seeking to pay off creditors. Either way its not going to be fluffy.
Tin hat time I'm afraid and let things take their course

do you think the bulls will rebrand?

as a new name like e.g 'new york red bulls'

I suspect a quick fire sale, whilst not desireable maybe the best option for the Bulls if the clock is counting down over the next 2 weeks. At least with sales now the management can have influence over who leaves. If the administrator has control for a few days then the club and Potter will have zero say on who stays or goes. If the administration is prolonged then the coach is out of the loop and only the administrators will know who is being negotiated on.

I hated February last year. I kept logging in or listening to the radio to hear which was the next player to have been sold. It was awful for the fans and I dare say awful for John Kear.

I suppose the only saving grace is a very swift administration and the club remnants bought up within seconds/hours of going into administration. Fingers crossed this may happen for you since (supposedly) there are interested parties in the background.

Best of luck to you all, it'll be a tough few weeks. As is often the case, the fans are the innocent victims in all this.

Dont get too excited guys. There will be no firesale. Those we want to keep will be looked after!

On the subject of Bateman, has it been mentioned anywhere (sorry if it has and I have missed it) that he is captaining the England Academy against France tonight at Odsal.

Not the best scheduling in reality, there may be something on TV that people want to watch...
