Clearly on the one hand, time is of the essence.

On the other hand, given what many have been saying about poor communication from him and the club, can you blame him for taking his time to try and get the response exactly right?

Can't blame him no, I suggest its the most important press release he'll have made in his time at the Bulls, so it needs to be right. But time or no time, he needs to be seen to be proactive today, to boost the pledge, and find some momentum for tomorrow. You can bet we've not heard the last from Camp Caisley.

I have only just come on the forum so apologies for the delay in commenting on this one (and Im only up to this one in case anybody has also commented as I do below)

Irrespective of Mr Agar's trade, which is irrelevant, I believe some people eat meat "down south", he is a great supporter of Bradford. I believe he currently has responsibility for the Academy / 20s teams and he is at ALL games home and away.

He has been involved a long time and was involved with the signing a young kiwi some of you may have heard of with a (new) double barrel surname.

Posted fyi

The other most annoying and salient point to Harrisgate is that Caisley could have waited approximately 6 weeks and the Whinos would not have had a case, Caisley was so determined to stick it to Caddick less so Hethrington, that he ignored the small print! whoever hears of a Solicitor doing that? Then when it came to the litigation brought by the Whinos he refused to appear on behalf of the Bulls, case collapsed and the Judge has no option but to find in the Whinos favour!

Some bloody saviour is Caisley!

Absolutely.

See you have not lost your penchant for talking common sense over the years!

In terms of how this affects the football developments (ie: on field), would it be fair to assume this makes the prospect of administration more likely? Certainly Caisley's timing is deliberate, I think we are all agreed on that.

From what I read in the T&A, CC's plan is more palletable and (slightly) more open than Hood and co's plan. Certainly, Tasker is very highly thought of and I would welcome someone as astute and as credible as he coming back onto the BoD. Almost as much as I would welcome this EGM, if it generates the right results which it almost certainly will.

I just wonder what Hood's next move is at 5pm tomorrow come close of play? I would still hope he calls the pledge in.

Where does it say Tasker will return to the BoD? All it says is he will conduct a 'review', with the input of Brian Noble and Duncan Preston, among others.

Ah yes, my mistake, just re-read it now. Seems he will be a 'consultant', like Noble will with the football side of things.

Mr Caisley has not presented any plan.

He has presented a plan for preparing a plan.

Mr Hood has said instead that there is no time to be lost, and that if the pledge fails its administration.

Yet the Caisley review will surely not be a five minute job?

Go figure?

Mr Caisley has not actually promised anything much. He has got people reading what they THINK he said, rather than what he ACTUALLY said, I suggest?

just what is Preston's input?

Right, well I'm trying to make sense of it all, and I'm not as business savvy as some on here, so I suggest some people cut the patronisation and try and level with those who are asking REASONED questions to try find out what the future is for their club, which is on its knees at present and almost at deaths door.

He'll be using his Acorn Antiques experience for future auctions.

No idea, but the article says:

Preston, who spoke passionately about the club during a pre-season sponsors lunch at Odsal, and former directors and shareholders Rowland Agar and Stephen Coulby, would also have an input and be assisted by current Bulls chief executive Ryan Duckett.

Aaron, I don't know who the hell that comment was aimed at, but if it was me then be aware I had not even READ your post when I posted mine re "plans". I had to scroll back to try to see what you were being so touchy about, and I'm not really any the wiser.

Never mind all this. Let's get to the important business...


...what's the record for the longest thread on rlfans?

So, 2 former directors and a current actor (sic) will have input (into what exactly???). They will be assisted by current (for how long???) CEO Ryan Duckett.

Its all becoming a bit of a soap opera!! Maybe thats what Duncan Preston brings?

I thought they all ate muesli down south?
I look forward to the time the Bulls are funded by The Veggie Cafe & Green Health Shop in Ilkley. Until then I am happy with Mr Agar.

I suspect he is taking legal advice? He may well feel he has to go nuclear to defend himself, and if so would need to ensure he was able to say things in public that he might want people to be aware of? Just speculation, though.

JVT was longer than this. Locking that thread was the start of our troubles. The person who did it had to change his name.

Saw him play Daddy Warbucks in 'Annie' recently.

He must have loads of memorabilia. As a big Bulls fan has he provided any for the auction?

"Wide to the West"??

BTW, whilst all this has been going on, the Parliamentary RL Group have written to the RBS Chairman to try get the Bulls overdraft extended whilst everything gets sorted: t.co/nXfUZJnR
