Who's censoring? I think all that's being asked for is that points are put across without the constant bickering and point scoring.
Thanks for suspecting but as I said I enjoy reading both arguments and don't favour any poster, I've disagreed with Adeybull on here before and probably will again. In terms of posting my views that's what I did and are doing again now...although you'll forgive me for not going somewhere else just because of one thread, if we we all did that I'm sure this Forum would die.

There's a fine line between outlining your view on your personal preferences for how debates should be engaged and what appears to be sanctimony. Im not here to mitigate my approach or ways of engagement.
You are entitled to interpret or dismiss it as you wish, but this is a forum not the European Court of Human Rights.
Maiselbugs, as usual, hits the nail on the head.

All a matter of public record, incidentally.'"
AGreed Adey, could be, or are there clues in his earlier press releases about the pledges, which coincidently cover the last two years. If so then satisfying his curiosity about what has happened in the last two years does not constitute a [ustrategic[/u review.

I broadly agree with that, though I think there has been too much ad hominem stuff.
The club's problems are financial and therefore fairly dense and perhaps Ren boring. Doesn't make them any less important though and I appreciate the time taken by Adey, GB and others to post in-depth analysis of the sort we'll never get to read anywhere else, agree with it or not.

Clearly having no cash is a financial problem, however this is a symptom of lack of commercial and playing success - if you don't get the results then you loose out at the gate and on attracting sponsors.
The opening seasons of the SL the Bulls were carried by a great, successful team, big gates and the "freashness" of the idea. When the gates started to moderate then the income from fans alone made it hard for us to compete against the clubs with big money backing and we gradually sank into the current situation.
Chicken and egg now - need cash to bring the success on the field, but it is the success which brings the cash

| Quote ="Northern Lad"For me the constant bickering is getting tedious. You mention debating above, for me you don't debate, you attack the person not the argument. Maybe you're a little too fixated with the person posting the points as opposed to the points themselves.
As somebody else mentioned above I also read the posts with interest but they're beggining to verge on personal attacks, I'm all for a passionate debate but lets debate the issues and leave the other stuff out.
Both Adeybull and yourself give your interpretation of the issues, Adeybull is very open with who is and why/how he has some of his knowledge, yourself less so. I think as adults we can read the differing views and make our own minds up who we want to believe if anybody.'"
Guru is quite well informed....almost as much as I am , right Guru?

| Don't shoot the messenger.. but some excellent news may be just around the corner.
I've not posted any 'news' for a while since the streak I had about the signings a couple of seasons ago, but I've heard from a couple of people now that Coulby met with the players this morning. We will not be entering administration at all, and that no players will be sold to other clubs - with the outstanding money problem being plugged by a benefactor.
Make of that what you will.

You mean the offer that had already been rejected? Multiple times..

Possibly, but as far as I was aware there was a open offer on the table, 6 figures, according to Peter Hood. Forgive me if this is incorrect, but nobody has come out and said it had been rejected.

Peter Hood's been out of office for quite a few weeks now. As soon as this 'news' gets confirmed, that'll be considerable proof it was rejected.

| Just need the club to clarify this new claim now...
And if anyone from the club reads these forums, PLEASE don't make us wait any longer, as supporters of this great club, we deserve to know whats going on sooner rather than later.

| Clearly someone from the club has leaked all over the place the story that there will be an announcement about a deal with a benefactor which solves the short term cash flow issue. I don't readily remember a leak which has sprung up in so many places in such short order, since our Wayne 'fixed' the roof. More Niagara than leaks.
As it's been leaked it so assiduously, I assume it must be basically correct.

Be careful about anything said by people involved with the club, in situations like you find yourselves in a lot of it can be deliberatley planted disinformation (this doesn't just apply in sport - see mindless blatherings by any politician of your choice!).
