You are right. But there is hope .... have a modicum of trust in 'us'. We are using the forum to somewhat gauge the views and reaction of our fellow (and in reality even more dedicated) Bulls fans to the ongoing debacle. Yes it will get worse before it gets better, but we feel there is some hope; but we can offer no guarantees.

P.S. We have never been to La La Land and have no intention of ever going there !

What a load of uneducated twaddle, if you for a minute think people are taking the bait your deluded...

The problem here is that this forum consists of one person who spends all day on here pretending and the other half of the posts are from just a small handful of bulls fans - some of which don't even go to games. This means it can't be used to judge the feelings of the Bulls fans who have other and probably better things to do with their time.

Agree in part with you Woolly, but the forum truly does serve a purpose. The fans who are on here (or the few fans as you say) are only part of the picture.

As we've said before the posts are read by a wider audience, inc. a number of the alleged bad uns who most most fan members on this forum agree need outing. We understand that a small number of members are merely on here as occasional voice pieces for the likes of AC etc (well at least they were until 'he' went to ground).

Anyhow, we will carry on regardless and until a) the truth is out once and for all via the press and media, and b) there is genuine hope (as distinct to the false hope of the past 10 yrs or so) for the Bulls moving forward.

Allegedly the RFL have a lot to answer for, and we remain confident that they will in time be held to account for their apparent gross maladministration of the Bulls post 2012, inc owner selection and vetting protocols etc. Many creditors over those years have to date lost a cumulative sum in the region of £4M+; they deserve a voice and ideally some form of reasonable retribution.

So people want "retribution"? Against, is it the three or just two companies which have gone belly up since 2012, wound up, case closed and no pennies left to distribute?

There may, or may not (I'm no lawyer) be a case(s) against the incumbent, but not going back to previous regimes. They are dead and gone, nothing left to see, all done and officially dusted by an administrator with no money to be found, though I'm not sure that anyone actually checked the tea drawer before the lights were turned out.

So, if they come looking for "retribution" beyond the last three years there is simply no-one left to shoot, so best practise some whistling - sad to say, that may be their best chance. Btw, I'm glad that you've now let slip your major objective in all this nonsense. There is nothing wrong in trying to find compensation (is that the word you really meant?) for people who lost out and I'd wish you all the best to be honest, but pretending you had the best interests of the club at heart was dishonest and is no way to get any help from here.

I suspect the word that 'nestegg' was grasping for was 'restitution' - but didn't really have the literacy skills to be able to find it :lol:

Yes CC & Hood - the Tesco/Morrison’s fiasco did for them. Compounded by the fragmented shareholdings.
Hoods last throw of the dice was gambling all on Orford & cheap tickets and iirc we were 4th and in the QF when he got injured. A promising season fell apart and the end began.
Omar - I always thought the £1.8m fine he received was imposed by the SL clubs, but I’ve heard recently he offered it. Which would be madness. As soon as central funding was cut, his fate was sealed.
My only quibble with your summary above - Mr Green was a chancer. Lots of stories about his businesses in Leeds were kicking around. Could play a crowd though - charismatic.
Still info to come out re AC, so the jury still out on him for me

Omar was hung out to dry by the clubs. He had 2 choices either give them the funding and be allowed to compete in the league or keep the money and have a team and nothing to play in. So indeed he did give them the money only because he had no choice.

Yo don't have to identify yourself but would you kindly explain to us who you are, your intentions on this forum and your aims in regards to the situation with the club right now and in the future, short and long term.
