I wish you all the best here but the more that drips out the more murkey this process is becoming, I have no idea on this but was thus the bid rejected by the administrator and uf so coukd it be because of the applicants finanvncial history, if the people connections on this thread are true (and there is no basis to doubt it) then some people may have some awkward questions to answer.

Given our parlous state I wonder what's in it for Chalmers really.

I also wonder what's in it for Wood to allegedly engineer his mate into the club.

There certainly isn't money to be made.

You do understand what has gone on don't you. A bloke took us over with no RL knowledge. He was pointed towards a 'safe pair of hands" by RFL. This SPOH then used the money to buy a massive squad that we could lend out to anybody short of players. Did the same the following year and we went bust. You comment as though the owner gave the money to the fans. At the end of the day if the RFL appoint a dodgy owner that then uses in whatever way he wants there is very little the supporters can do.
I'm sure if you trawl through these posts you will see that the majority think we should start in CH1 and that our current position is untenable.

Seriously people wait till the new owners give their plans before you believe what nameless people on a message board are saying, 'Who' it's patently obvious have already started the process of ruining your club before its even got going

Spot on that.

Quote ="Blotto"Wow that's getting it off your chest! wobblyheadedbull.tumblr.com/post ... club-owner'" That is extremely well put and sums up my feelings precisely. It should be used as a petition signed by all the "genuine" fans.

I hope he send that to the new owners.
I could not agree more.

There must be some sort of plan, surely? Why buy a team, come over from NZ for a team with no money, no plans to strengthen p, certain relegation we if we don't and then what follows if we end up in C1

I confess to being puzzled about the RFL putting in a clause about guaranteeing the club upto 2019 - if we go bum over breasts at the end of this season and go into amin, followed by winding up - what value, or effect, has the 'guarantee' at that point?

Hopefully they've a planeload of youngish, hungry, talented kiwis in the back!

Quote ="Blotto"Wow that's getting it off your chest! wobblyheadedbull.tumblr.com/post ... club-owner'" Nice piece but I can't agree with him about Odsal - we need to get out of this stadium asap, sod the sentiment of the place. He's also kidding himself if he thinks we'll ever get weekly Q&A sessions, even the SL sides don't get that.

It's going a bit viral now that blog. Nice one. Maybe the new owners will be reading it very soon.

The last thing I want now is Q&A sessions or 'Fan Forums'. We all get swept along with that when Green arrived. Remember the Cedar Court evening? And the big marquee at Odsal? Yeah, I was taken in by it too.

Actions - not mere words - are what we need now.

I, for one, would have been much happier if he'd gone straight to Odsal and convened a meeting between all the staff and players and put things right with those people. I mean, it's not as though the staff would have had much else to do, other than mope about, wondering what the hell is going on.

As a fan, he should have prioritised re-signing all the players and coaching staff and PREVENTING ANYMORE FROM LEAVING by signing them up pronto. IF he'd done that we may well have avoided Dane Chisholm leaving. They got control on Friday - that should have been done on Friday. I don't know what they're playing at but they need to show some damned urgency.

I guess I'll still be supporting, but how full hearted that support is depends on who they get in to make any attempt at avoiding relegation. I said previously that not losing Moss, Chisholm and Haggerty were key to having any kind of side for next season. I doubt we'll get equivalent replacements for the two Backs, so they are very much on trial as far as I'm concerned.

Except you can't just teleport from New Zealand in a couple of hours.

Don't tell me he doesn't have agents in the UK, and he's not the only name on the list anyway. Good god, someone who didn't even get the club managed to arrange a meeting with the players. Not good enough, imo.

There's a lot in that that pretty much sums up how the majority of Bradford fans feel IMO.

Whoever is taking over the Bulls needs to understand that you've got a fanbase who are alienated, irritated, and all in all just sick of the whole dog and pony show that's gone on for the last 10 years. The new owners need to engage with the fans like never before. Fan forums are just the tip of the iceberg. The club needs massive transparency in order to assuage fans that this time the club will NOT fail. They also need to be PRO-ACTIVE rather than REACTIVE when it comes to bad news and get their side out first before it hits the public domain and the metaphorical fan.

There's a lot of work to be done to heal the wounds, raise the club's stock and bring back the trust of the fans. The toxic past with it's broken promises and outright lies will not soon be forgotten.

Moving out of Odsal would be the beginning of the end. The rent for VP would be astronomical not to mention limited amount of income from the stadium.

Horsfall is no.where bear big enough. Crowds would dwindle even further.

Has Chisholm gone as well now?

Not seen an 'official', but the word is that he's gone to Widnes.
