| The original post is clearly by someone who has an axe to grind and contributes absolutely nothing to the Bulls going forward.

I tend to look at the most obvious likliehood first which is Chalmers has been wanting to have control of a club for a number of years. I don't think there are is much more to it than that,not a great conspiracy I know but so be it.
Chalmers gets to run a club as he has always wanted , Nigel gets a friendly ally at the helm of Bradford and as a tennant to a valuable asset of the game'"
Just as I suspected.
You should sell tickets for any future question and answer sessions.

I have one question:
Why? Why have they bought Bradford and what are their intensions? If it is for Odsal then what is the business plan?'"
They have a sub-lease, so minimal influence on the future of the estate & little chance of making a mint out of it. Conversely, it will be a mill stone around their chubby necks.

A bit of transparency sounds quite promising.,

| Does anyone remember when the season used to end with an appearance at Old Trafford in the GF instead of Administration.

| No. I'd just prefer you fsck off.
edit: please take in the spirit this was intended. That intended spirit is one where, at the end of it, you have fscked off.

Not as much as you might expect, the new sub lease is for a peppercorn honeymoon period for the first 3 years, very much in the new clubs favour in terms of maintenance costs etc. The facilities team have been retained in totality but they no longer will be a wage burden on the club, rather the RFL

| The RFL are paying our rent and maintenance for 3 years?
If that is true then it makes the distribution funding "penalty" a joke.

Press conference on Friday will announce Brian Mclennan as head coach. Brian wants to retain Chev Walker and obviously the youth coaching staff. Duffy and Tasker will take care of everything else with a new General Manager coming in ex Wakefield.
Might sound far fetched but it is the kind of coup the new owners need to get everyone excited and demonstrate ambition.

I reserve judgement on your posts until the press conference. IF massive capitals this is true that ex Wakefield GM better not be one weve already had

It makes sense in that the RFL can help the club significantly financially without direct loans or equal central funding. Unique position as landlords needing content allows them this flexibility and provides them argument against favouritism.
Tenuous I know, but that is how it is.

| I suppose you could argue that landlords have a duty to ensure that their properties are fit for their tenants and that means keeping up to required standards (in this case their own I'd guess) so actually taking money from central funding to do that could still be spun as a penalty?

| I hate most of what is going on, but if we remain the RFL's favourites, being preferred over and above every other club, due to our iconic status, then that will amply do for me. As long as we remain at this pinnacle, I'll gladly take the flak and wear the hairshirt.

| More rubbish. I've already had to ban someone for publishing inaccurate rumours. This causes an unbelievable amount of upset for people who's livelihoods are at risk at the moment.
In the normal scheme of things I'd let it slide but this isn't a normal situation.
