Not only is Lynch leaving but it also appears that Gareth Raynor is finished with Bradford.

Would just like to thank bradford for the chance they gave me last year, I hope I did enough to show the club and fans the decision to gamble and sign me was the right one. The club has been fantastic with me and my family.

Again to the bradford bulls fans thanks for your support you have been brilliant in the support you have given me and I wish you a good season next year.

The club will follow up with there official statement

Thanks again and good luck

Gaz

Where is this from ??

Wow!! Hope this one isn't true but looks original.

His facebook account

Nevermind just seen it on facebook



I wonder if Hull have bought him as well, he was in the pub at the weekend with Hull fans watching the Leeds game !!

Unlesssssss..............

He knows he cant get back the £120,000 and is going back to prison ??

Wow this off-season just gets better and better...

Be even better if you found out Ah Van was staying to fill Raynors spot

Where is Andy Lynch going?

We could do with him to replace Graham for a couple of years

Batley

TBH with Hull showing interest i'd of thought other clubs may of popped up being interested, and Saints to replace Graham would be a good point and im sure he'd rather go there than Hull, but obviously Saints dont think he is good enough to fill the gap left by Graham

Or they're not willing/able to pay a transfer fee. I'd go more along the being able to pay due to them having their new stadium to pay for and that tying up a lot of Saint's free cash.

More to the point, who is going to replace Raynor then ???

didn't raynor sign a new contract??

Yes he did. A year with a year option I believe. So, he's either been bought or he's going back to jail.

Has Karl Pryce got himself a new club yet?

I can't believe we're letting Raynor go unless it's something to do with the court case.

I wonder what other gems are going to come out now that the pledge deadline has been and gone.

So it looks like the outs are:
Ah Van, Herbert, Royston, Crookes Lynch and Raynor?

The ins:
Gale, Sammut, Purtell and Lulia

Have I forgotten anybody?

I can only imagine that it's down to his court case. Given the statement, if he is leaving us for another club I'd have to guess they're paying him way over the odds.

And Spannerz, you've forgotten Dave Halley

Don't think it's a major disaster if true tbh. We can reshuffle with existing players with purtell moving to wing and walker stayingvin centres. But we wil have raynors cap free to recruit with so expect we will bring someone in too.

I'd say losing our best winger at the club would be a bit of a disaster to be honest. One of the few players to come out of this season with some credit IMO. Purtell would be fine on the wing, but Walker isn't a centre anymore. I would hope that isn't the plan from Mr Potter.

Why is he going when he signed for another year!! if things keep on like this we will be back to the skinny squad days and still be out of the top 8

Spot on.

We'd take Lynch in a heartbeat, but we can't afford a transfer fee.

That's a real shame about Gaz Raynor. He played well for us this year. Definately was worth the gamble. Will have to see what the club say but that reads like he asked for - and was granted - a release. For whatever reason we don't know at present.

And tbh, I don't think you're alone in that. Lynch would improve any pack in the league.
