Yes I'm jaded by this never-ending rollercoaster but I'm also thoroughly confused. Doesn't any journo want to know why it keeps happening over and over and over again?

So is it just me or does anybody else believe that our days are numbered. Missing pension payments, a change in the ground, no new offices in Wibsey has mentioned, new bank dealing with money for the clubs lottery. Chalmers no where to be seen, a total silence from the clubs general manager. Special measures still no removed by the RFL as we were told that they would be dealt with by the end of September. How much more do even the most die hard of fans need to happen before our once proud club and all its heritage is gone forever. Chalmers has rolled the dice several times and unfortunately it is our investment he has lost

One of the hardest things to do is get the actual facts out into the public domain when a section of supporters believe the sensationalism and fake news that comes from some who claim to be journalists but not, that when a factual matter is given media coverage people are all too happy to shoot the journalists who have got all of their ducks in a row before putting anything into the public domain.

It's RL. It only gets a couple of paragraphs above Andy Capp and The Perishers

Let's hope we have someone to come in and not go through administration again

He's not rich enough by a long shot, even allowing for most of his wealth being tied up in horse flesh and bricks and mortar.....

Here we go again. Another off season of rumours and uncertainty. If these rumblings turn out to be true and the club is on the brink of another financial crisis then a lot of fans will walk away for good. All the warnings signs suggest that we are about to hear some bad news.

I keep having a look on the Facebook supporters groups. I really do feel sorry for people on there. We all know there is some idiots on there but there’s a lot of genuine fans there who were waiting for some kind of statement/info from the club. These fans, like all of us, just want the best for the club but how many times can people be fed bull. I really do feel sorry for all the optimistic people who fall for the clubs lies, I also used to be one of those people. After watching my team for 48 year, I wouldn’t be bothered if I never went again

This is one of the saddest posts I have ever read on here. For Elliots dad to say this makes me fear the worst.

If the rumours are true and Andrew Chalmers has left the club,then words fail me.If it's true,then we have been ripped away from our spiritual home,Odsal and the guy who forced it through has pi$$ed off.FFS-Was it a faite accompli?Doesn't look good in my eyes.These c*ckwombles make 1964 look like a walk in the park.Shambles AT BEST imo.

I don’t mind admitting mate I’ve shed a tear or two last few days. It was a dream for me.
I hope the people who have caused all this get what they deserve. Absolutely unbelievable

Sounds like the worst could be about to happen

He owns the club so can’t just walk off without selling it.

Unless the club is insolvent (which we pretty much are if we’re losing circa 500k a year) in which case it’s admin.

We’ll find out tomorrow morning I reckon.

Shame on the people who caused this I hope they get what’s coming to them.

I feel a bit sick reading this.

You and Elliot deserve a lot better than this.

I appreciate that, thank you.

I think there will be a fair bit come out in the next few days, I hope so

I can't even be bothered getting worked up over this, it's all so predictable. I'm sorry for the staff and some of the supporters who still live and breath the club.

I definitely feel this is the end of my journey with the club and probably the sport, I've never really been one for watching as a neutral. I expect it will be another case of more points deductions and the rfl 'approving' any new owners followed by a season of struggling.

They can stick it where the sun doesn't shine as far as I am concerned.

I hope so too and seeing the likes of Eliot putting his body and soul on the line for the club week in week out deserves better. I really don't know where they get their belief from with our history of players treatment. I am praying we get a solution to all this and hope against hope someone comes in to salvage our dreams.

If you’re not paying your employees what they’re contractually owed it’s completely unacceptable. No if no buts as far as I’m concerned.

I’m not buying his crappy slogans and management jargon. It’s a basic task and I wouldn’t p*** on Chalmers if he was on fire as a result.

Whatever the involvement of outside forces in all this.

Can I ask, whatever gets said on here doesn’t get copied onto Facebook please

I would probably delete it from here anyway mate. It's bound to appear there if not.

Somebody be a lamb and drop me a PM.

Andrew Chalmers?

I'm sure the RFL will have someone in mind...

Won't matter to me I suspect I'll be gone - I know for a fact I've had more than enough. I know It'll be sad as it's been a big part of my life for so long, but I'll get over it.

Looks like new owners.

CLUB STATEMENT: BULLS ENTER CONDITIONAL AGREEMENT FOR SALE OF SHARES
THE BRADFORD BULLS HAVE TODAY ISSUED THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT...
The Shareholders of the Bradford Bulls have entered into a Conditional Agreement (“the Transaction”) to sell the entire shares in the Club to a UK investor group.

As part of the Transaction, Andrew Chalmers will vacate his appointment as Chairman on completion of the share sale. The Transaction is subject to the agreement of the Rugby Football League. It is expected that an announcement on this will be made shortly.

Andrew Chalmers confirmed, “The head of the investor group is well known in rugby league circles having last served as a Director and owner in the Super League. I am confident that the new ownership group will bring the resources, drive and expertise needed to build on the work completed over three years, and continue the path to transition this great Club back to Super League, for the benefit of all Stakeholders especially the loyal Bulls fans.

Having completed their due diligence, we now await the RFL’s approval and sanction. It’s also anticipated that the Club will be shortly removed from all player signing restrictions. A more detailed statement will follow, including details of an upcoming fans forum.

Koukash?
