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.

Only a rumour at present.

Oh well that's great.

Chalmers representatives has had meetings with high earning players today. Player A previously on £70,000 under Green now being offered £30,000. Sounds like Chalmers has his realistic head on. No player should be on anyway near £70,000.

3500 capacity. Not a great deal beyond the crowds we get now
