I agree on both points, 4,000+ ST sales is a phenomenally good achievment for a Championship Club, indeed Bulls ST sales were excellent too prior to admin, though I foresee a drop due to unease over admin.

K.R's squad (presently) is some way short of the overall standard of the Leigh 2016 squad & with recruitment is likely to fall even further behind the Leigh 2017 squad, though our recruitment hasn't set the World on fire.

If you manage to stay Championship with only a 6pt deduction then you can make the 8's but I feel you might need a few quality additions.

Our squad maybe worse than Leighs at the END of 2016 after mid season recruitment, but not necessarily the start of 2016. I believe our board is aiming to do something similar mid 2017, so we'll see.

I hope Leigh surprise everyone and avoid the mid 8s, but knowing SL as I do, unfortunately I think this unlikely. I would love to see some mid range, well supported, heritage clubs such as mine, Bradford, Leigh (and Wakey and Halifax actually), getting themselves fully sorted out and dethroning the likes of Wigan, Leeds, Saints. Unfortunately, I'm also a realist.

Back on topic - its a crap situation for you Bradford fans, I hope it gets resolved soon. It's the not knowing that's the killer.

Actually it's the hope that's really the killer!

The players, coaching staff and the rest of the staff will know who the potential new owners are, if what Pettit says is true and we are actually getting an owner worth having they wouldn't be going anywhere as there should be an air of optimism about the clubs future...

If we pay the debt and by the grace of god only get a 6 point deduction, we can still make the top 4.
If we bring in a few more players and use the deduction as a motivator we could beat KR 3 times which would be a big start towards getting there.

Reading some of their fans comments it would be nice to bring them down a peg or two, the first game at their place is vital!!!!
and it seems to me like the scene is been set for what is to be a very exciting season, I'm glad I have got my season ticket.

Or we get Marc Green back don't pay any debt back and get relegated and go part time? (just an after thought)

Smith has meet with the 3 front running parties.

I'm nervous that it's gonna be Green again.

Based on what exactly?

Several of bidders are supposed to be prepared to pay debt in full, including greens debenture. Provided that happens can't see him trying to come back. His only interest in club has always been in getting his original loan back. Think he'd quite happily walk away if paid out in full. Only way I could see him coming back is if big money bids fell through and it looked like a bid that didn't pay debts back was going to win.

How do people know all this stuff?

Re: Administration 3 - now in technicolour : Fri Dec 02, 2016 9:01 pm  

Simple... they don't. I'm sure there is the odd staff member on here but in the main it's pure guesswork.

Staff up at Odsal who know more than any of us have been quite vocal regarding our future

So to get his original money back he has spent more money how would that work.
