He wont actually & truthfully answer the questions put to him - because that would be admitting that the RFL behaved totally unprofessionally in the whole "Bulls/admin/liquidation/minus 12 points/AC preferred candidate/kept in Ch1 for Bash" farce.
He will side step every direct question in typical bent politician style; and AC will help him out with his secondhand car dealer sales pitch.

Why anyone still listens to this complete clown is beyond me. Anyone who trusts a word that comes out of his mouth, I'm sure the time share salesmen would love a word with.

| Quote ="mat"This is bit I've always found odd. They thought we'd be able to overcome the 12 point deduction with the squad we had at the time but then they gave out dispensations to clubs wanting to sign our players ( albeit at the time redundant players) exempting them from both the quota and the salary cap meaning vast majority of better players were immediately picked off. If they had delayed decision to allow those exemptions by a week or two to allow new owners to sign up who they wanted we could have had a vaguely competitive squad and maybe overcome the 12 points.'"
Massively this in every which way shape and form. Probably the most reasoned post I’ve seen on the matter too. Rimmers appearance is making the cogs tick for sure

The problem is that there is very little consensus on what the 'right decision' actually is'"
That Bradford should be relegated to League One.
However, for the benefit of the game that's probably the Championship in 2018.

I missed this when it was released. Nice little summary, a few topics in there for Ralph to disclose the thinking behind the decisions.....

| "Hindsight is a wonderful thing but the best administrators in sport don't need it as they get nine out of 10 decisions right. However, we're almost at the stage now where we've got nine out of the last 10 decisions wrong about Bradford."
That's the line. I wonder if Ralph would agree?

| I do hope some pointed questions are asked of Rimmer but I guess the audience will be made of up sycophants and the like. Its a real shame the various supporting groups/factions can't pull together and get the answers needed, hope I am wrong but I guess Chav corner will be the ones invited to ask questions which, with all due respect, will not be the questions that need answering nor very searching.
Not a pop at chav corner or the Facebook groups before the high and mighty on here jump the bandwagon

| It'll be more 'put on' that Maybot's campaign events. As for Phil Clarke's assessment of 9/10 decisions being wrong can anyone point me in the direction of any correct decision they have made?
Can we sign Iestyn? Yes
We're in financial turmoil? We'll buy you only tangible asset!!
Shall we with hold funding from Khan? Oh God yes!
Is Whitcut and the gang a good idea? Yes! Oh hang on, he's not...
Point deduction? Yes
Marc Greene - Yes
What about Ferret...he's ballsed up every club he's been at, safe hands? You bet!
New club with -12, no players and a week to set up? What could go wrong??
Oh and start in the championship with those major handicaps? Absolutely!
Maybe we gave them the wrong kind of apple

| I wouldn’t hold your breath for any honest answers or earth shattering revelations from Rimmer. Also get your questions in early as the ending of the forum will be more timely than the start!

Relegation is NOT "the right decision" at all. The RFL all but doomed the Bulls to relegation by their decisons and stipulations.
But,
a) unless the structure is changed, then we ARE relegated - Fact. No coulda shoulda about it.
and b) IF there is a restructure, by which I mean increasing the number of teams in the Championship, then plainly obviously that reasonably and fairly leaves us in the Championship. There is no argument against it. The promotion from League 1 would not be affected, and any team which did NOT earn promotion from the lower tier can possibly claim any right to leapfrog us, on any rational basis I can think of.
Even if a restructure was indeed some device just to keep us up, I couldn't care less, given as 2017 was a device to help the other clubs and screw us, so it would be no more than swings and roundabouts.
But no restructure could happen unless the clubs vote for it anyway, so it would also be irrational to claim only the RFL wanted it. Even if they did, ultimately it ain't up to them.

Im not even convinced the meeting he mentioned, happened yesterday. Not a single whisper of a meeting yesterday from any other journo.
Anyway L1 confirmed (not that it was ever up for discussion apart from certain people whipping up frenzys)

| The other thing that the Bulls & RFL are doing jointly is the tribunal. So maybe Rimmer is here to reassure us about it? And to calm down?

In my opinion, certain people in privileged positions owe an apology to a lot of fans for getting their hopes up by constantly banging on about the Bulls staying in the Championship when it doesn't look like it was ever on. Even if was a possibility, the way certain people have gone on about it, they should apologise to all those fans they gave hope to who will now be feeling disappointed. That doesn't include me, I never expected anything else, but an apology should be forthcoming on all the platforms they've used to peddle this bull for months.

Really don't get this briefing the media before the fans. Everyone in room pretty much in the know now thanks to Parkers twitter feed.
What's wrong with press getting the info along with everyone that has taken time to come along?
