Was wondering the very same thing earlier today. Always had his finger on the pulse, unfortunately always seemed to be the wrong one....

TBF at that time I think Frank had a "reliable source" he was spot on with Rohan Smiths appointment.

I wonder if it was David Thorne he was referring to. Chev Walker tweeted today that he and the Bulls squad met David Thorne at that time and was most honest and up front person they'd seen at the Bulls.

Even if it is true and the fellow fatster is pulli g the strings, what does he stand to gain from all of this?

Surely if he had good intentions for the club then administration after administration due to cherry picking the best candidate wouldn't have been on the agenda?

Seems like a good question, but before answering could you kindly clarify what exactly are you asking in respect of the latter part of your query.

I still visit the forum from time to time, I got a few things right too - Rohan Smith anyone, but my 'source' left the club. There was a second consortium in for us at the time if you all recall, but AC was anointed by big Nige - that's pretty much when I stopped giving a crap, though I remain a season ticket holder for my 13 year old daughter who is reduced to tears by this whole sorry mess, and Ethan Ryan leaving.

I just don't care enough anymore.

So nice to hear those highly encouraging words c/o Chev in respect of David Thorne.

The time may now have come for Dave to re-emerge and become part of the new consortium who have no ties to the RFL inspired disastrous ownership incarnations of the past 7 years or so.

Yes.

Why would he continue to ratify men pwithout the necessary levers to maximize the chances of success going forward, if jndeed he was pulling the strings with good intentions?

I can see why if he was doing so without good intentions, but I'm unsure what he stands to gain from it? What would he stand to gain from this club good Ng out of business and ceasing to exist?

Re: Bulls Takeover : Mon Oct 21, 2019 9:20 pm  

So Pestegg (I forget who coined that phrase, but I'm steaing it, it's excellent) is making insinuations that David Thorne is one of their number (before editing the post).

Quite ironic that Chev said how open and honest David was, which totally contradicts Pestegg's cloak and dagger posts. So forgive me if I don't believe a fecking word. In fact, I don't think 99% of this forum does, no matter how much "they" say otherwise.

As a Fax fan I do enjoy putting one over you lot but understand how you all must feel with this happening again. I'm not hear to gloat.

I dont know what's going but I dont think any one does.

I have been reading this daily....but what the Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo is nest egg on. Just ignore the pr1ck. Seems to be just a stirer.

Just seems to be a wind up merchant.
