Why are the authorities only speaking to Nestegg about this huge scandal and nobody else?

Re: Bulls Takeover : Wed Oct 23, 2019 8:27 am  

Am I correct in that Perez is temporary, and Sawyer is temporary? So that makes the Woods the owners. Are they minted enough to run the club? And just because they are Nigel's family has there been any fit and proper person test?

Wood's family are shareholders, not the chairman or ceo. Don't get the two roles confused.
It's quite possible - and probable in this case if you believe big Nige - to own shares in a company but have absolutely no involvement in the day to day running of it.

As for money, sounds like we'll be more or less self sustaining with a playing squad that we can afford. This late in the day recruiting I think we'll be lucky to stay up next season, could be a lot of grim viewing I fear.

So there's no-one putting money in? How come we are no longer in Special Measures?

Re: Bulls Takeover : Wed Oct 23, 2019 8:47 am  

Good luck with all this guys. Banter aside, Fax and Bulls have some good match ups and we appreciate the numbers you bring to the shay.

We can share some great stories about Big Nige, just make sure you change your sock colour to something that sounds good with the -sox suffice!

Joking aside, someone needs to ask Nigel if he’s used any of the money he got for being sacked from the RFL to buy his shares....

Budget agreed by RFL.

Firstly big thanks for the updates as the event happened to bullinenemyland. But the grand announcement is what I'd call "meh".

This interim management team are seemingly just to extricate AC from proceedings smoothly (ish). We are no nearer knowing what the longterm investment plans are for Bradford (if any) and so the tales of intrigue will carry on. This is all a preface to something else surely.

Pleased I didn’t purchase a season ticket. The move to Dewsbury was bad enough but to now have a part time team and a squad that won’t be able to hold its own is not what was sold to fans. If the club had gone into admin you could at least get your cash back with credit card purchase. With regard to management far too many unanswered questions.

Sad, but very, very true.

I think we'll be OK. We have a 3 month head start on recruitment compared to 2017 and don't have to make up 12 points just to get to zero. Also we have a coach who knows the league and is a specialist on survival.

Don't get me wrong, we'll get some absolute tonkings from the better championship teams like Leigh, Fev etc but I think we'll survive.

As others have said Im really not going to worry anymore about the off field stuff. I'll still go, and enjoy the rugby. I'm happy we're not in admin, having another Christmas ruined with uncertainty and starting the season on -12 and we're paying creditors what they owe. Also we're not seeing our brightest young talents leave for nothing. But I just don't have the enthusiasm to care about the off field stuff as we've heard it all before.
