Looks like the directors are back.

Their forum is starting rumours again of people leaving but no actual news.
Their story isn't finished yet.
I do wonder what their team will look like in round 1.

Must be worrying times for Bradford fans, its not a nice place to be.

I'm more worried about round 2.

They'll be fine. They won't be allowed to go under regardless of the efforts of the people running the club .

Seams like the threat of walking out has worked, reading this from the outside it just looks like khan wants his money back and the directors didn't want to sell any players to please him.
Well the soap goes on Bradford will continue to survive in their iconic stadium, the players will stay and no doubts will in up in the top 8 play offs leaving us all wondering how they get away with it.

Strong rumors of Sammut going to either London or Huddersfield.

Whilst I do not particularly rate him he will be a miss for the Bulls as every now and again he can come up with a game breaking play.

If Bradford do lose him I can really see them being major contenders for a bottom 2 finish, especially given the lack of experience their coach has.

Sammut has said in today's paper that ideally he wants to stay with the club. Whether that will happen will obviously depends on who else moves on or new income streams coming into the club. Cautiously optimistic now that the 3 directors have agreed to continue steering the ship. No doubt still some rocky waters to navigate through though.

And to those who keep banging on about us not selling players, don't forget that Bateman and L'Estrange have already gone without replacement.

Although both of these guys are top players, it doesn't quite amount to an exodus.
When your squad is full of loan players and juniors you will know that there has been a clear out (as we had 3 seasons ago -John Kears last one at the helm)
Although we started that season, happy just to have a team to support, the middle to end of the year was utterly depressing and the numbers of disgruntled fans seemed to outweigh the others.

Good luck for the coming season (as long as we finish above you

)

Oh I'm not claiming it to be an exodus and I fully expect we will need to shift more players out permanently or perhaps even on loan. I've just read it a few times on various forums stating how we haven't/won't release players.

L'Estrange wanted away and Bateman wanted to better his career that isn't the cull that happened here so please don't blame me for banging away till I see differ

20 players lost since we went into admin, of those 9 that would walk into today's 17.

Still, this argument's pathetic isn't it? We're both fans of clubs that have been let down by hopeless directors. We should be getting behind our own teams and not whining about each others.

To be fair mate I don't see many people having a pop at you! You ought to be in our shoes with the Nutjobs forum revelling in all things negative regarding Wakey!

We have a minority of Fax and Keighley fans who are revelling in our misfortune! Luckily for us they mainly stick to their own forums to discuss our problems. You're welcome to yours! Seems to come with the territory.

At least in another month we can talk about on field matters (hopefully for us).

Lets try to stick with the topic please.


Thread cleaned up.

It looks like a financial minefield at the bulls, directors loans and new shareholders due to covenants made against the bulls for loan securities, think this one is gonna drag on as will take some clearing up

on there page, some ones put a topic up saying sammutt has left the club and also some one else has heard jamie foster as left, would be too good signing for us if they have left.


THOUGHTS?

If they have left it would suggest they have signed for somebody else?

appently sammutt has got to london or huddersfield but no club mentioned on foster

Very strong rumours within the RL community that the Bulls won't make the start of SL and will instead drop down to the Championship.

Their 2014 signings have been told that they can leave the club in the same way that Tuson was released from obligations to his Wakefield contract

Like I said, it's just a rumour but it's doing the rounds amongst people who are from inside the game.

Think we need to take a step back and reevaluate the job Chairman Carter done, we could easily have been in a much worse position.

Not sure whatś happening at the Bulls, it seems nothing quick as far as release of players goes!
MC has and is doing a sterling job for us, largely, I believe because he acknowledged the scale of the problem and took tough decisions regarding player release early.
Iḿ not sure such action is being taken at the Bulls so is their situation as serious as ours was?

Situations are similar but without knowing all details it's hard to say.

I do think that MC stepping in will turn out to be an important milestone in the club's history. Time will tell but he has certainly made a big difference already. Comparing to Bulls situation is evidence enough.

Agree. MC = right man at right time!

Here's a thought - although it may not be popular - it seems to me that the difference here is that Glover, for all the problems, sold his share for a pittance and walked away from his loans. OK seems not to want to do that and, in doing so, is preventing the new board from getting a complete grip on the situation.

It is of course OK's prerogative to do what he likes with his money, but for all the trouble we've had, if our current investors had not negotiated a clean break from Glover then we would have been in some really deep doo doo!

Am I correct on thinking that there is only a verbal agreement re paying back Glovers Directors Loan.

Not to my knowledge.
