Well thanks for letting us know the bleedin obvious mate. We'd never have realised otherwise.



Mond you that's been the case since 2013 really and Nigel has been a great influence on events since before then too.

im assuming your 20k posts are just to come here to spout boll**cks ... any club has rises and falls, without 'assuming' as you seem to do, you are a Salford fan. my father was .. my gradfather also was and a season ticket holder pre world war 2. Concentrate on your own team's failings (even with multibazzillionaire backer)

wrong
wrong
wrong
more wrong.

When the fans at my club decided we needed to get rid of the chairman, we did and we are currently, back to back.

how about this ... stay on your own forum let us poor souls worry about ours

These are all my forums.

We are here to help! Lets get the wood out.

oh how could I be more wrong as i casually look to the right of pane ... said non spammer spamming on all forums. jog on, stay off here

wanna help??? ... look at my post under Rob Borrow

What you gonna do?



This place is a place for all fans, that is what is for, it's called RLFANS.COM not BRADFORDBULLSFANS.COM .

Reminds me of that line in the song Won't get fooled again.

"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

no idea what he is planning, he is cashed up now though.......from his apparant rfl pay off.

yawn ... already nearly 3 am here ... time for bed, i'll leave the spoon with you to stir on other fans forums. didn't realize god was here

Well the bar is set pretty low given recent owners.

And to be honest, I'm beyond worrying about what happens off the pitch.

Indeed BB.

I don't know what goes on at 'most' clubs but, in businesses the customers are usually the last to be (meaningfully) consulted and then ignored by the share owners when they are. RL clubs are supposedly 'businesses' so I assume that is what generally applies through the league. We come in handy when the buckets come out, of course.

If I know one thing though, it is this: I won't have the taken out of me again or I'm off. Gone. And I won't be back. I'm unanimous on that.

I've literally never seen you anything other than placid and in good spirits. Can't believe you waited till the owner comes on to show us up.





Its like the grade A student waiting for the Ofsted inspection before smoking in class.

I'd forgotten why I liked this board so much - thanks for reminding me Pumpy!

Wood is independently wealthy isn't he? Not Koukash wealthy but not just living off his RFL settlement.

I think people are far too quick to write him off, partly reflecting their own agendas, partly reflecting the fact that people hold the RFL responsible for failings of their own clubs (of all the clubs) and as an ex-RFL executive that follows him around.

It's a low bar but compared to most club owners he's got a lot of solid, practical Rugby League experience. I know there's some stuff about him and the Bulls in the past but his ownership should at least be more stable than the past several regimes.

i base my decision on his success rate in RL.

which is currently after about 20 years, negligible.

Well he was behind the Magic weekend and negotiated the current tv deal which was slated by some at the time but has proven a great deal in retrospect.
He was also ultimately in charge of the last UK world cup, both its successful operation and it's minimal legacy. And in many ways he was pulling a lot of the strings in the Lewis era, especially when Lewis went part time.

He's by no means got an impeccable track record but it's also not just remorseless failures.

I have seen no proof of his fingers in the processes as a positive you suggest.

Everything he is involved in seems mediocre and plodding.

Quite honestly I do not understand what people see in him.

I have met many like him though who talk a good game.

Well many fans suspected he has been pulling the strings for a long time so this just makes it official now.

I think the animosity comes from the fact that he’s been involved at some level in the decisions which seem to have turned down ‘better suited’ owners for ‘hand picked’ owners who had less than the change in their pockets which ultimately led to a further slow death. Was that a coincidence or was that to get the club / odsal / something else into his hands eventually? Who knows.

Either way, if he can stop us going bust and build a solid sustainable club then I’m sure most will accept it although it does look like we may have had to go through years of pain for the fans to play a ownership game

There is an interview with Nigel Wood on the T & A website (behind a paywall). The irony.

how many people must pay to read T&A?

talk about speaking to the few and ignoring the many.

Nigel Wood? ........
Good luck with that one. You'll need it!

If no-one paid to read the T&A there wouldn't be one. Some may say so what or even good riddance but it is the source of local news and I find it useful to keep abreast of what is happening in the Bradford area. That does of course include the different sports within the area.

People don't pay to read this website but it has existed for 21 years.
