Which other Keith?

I think they have new investment on the way and a restructuring/reduction of old debts. I don't know that we need to assume that they're still desperate to cut their wage bill.

It's a bit strange to make a statement like this unless they are trying to get an improved offer from Leeds, I doubt it will work i.e. Lunt

With regards to the player himself, cant say I noticed much of him last year but the bradford fans certainly want to keep hold of him

Nail. Head. Etc

Revealing an approach to a key player in the public domain simply alludes to one thing, negotiation. Players are approached throughout the season, most of which, never reach the public domain and certainly don't inflame an official reaction (and from an ex-Rhino fan).

He is clearly for sale at a price. Whether GH wished to meet our valuation, is another thing. He is an outstanding centre.

As a jigsaw piece, he could be a final piece in your quest for in-season consistency. But then what's the point when you can pull the rabbit from 5th.

not necessarily, it could be a statement from Bradford to tell clubs thay they don't need to sell now.

Yep, or a reassurance to fans that they don't need to sell good players.

This is how I read it. Season tickets are on sale, it sounds like a message (along with the Bateman one) that there isn't going to be a fire sale.

We didn't reveal the approach though. Dave Parker did that in the league weekly. We rejected the offer and then announced that to quash the rumour mill. Bit of a different scenario. Don't think Leeds will be increasing the generous offer they already made, which was midway between the figures being bandied about to buy whitehead or Bateman earlier in the year.

We don't need to restructure/reduce the old debts. They went completely when OK bought the club. As for investment there are a string of sponsorship deals still to be announced including shirt and main sponsor. Obviously we're going to take a hit over next two season while we aren't receiving the full sky money but our salary cap spend is reduced a lot until we bring new players . Can't see us bringing any expensive players in at this stage of the game as the quality simply isn't available this late in season. Well bring in a few squad fillers on 1 yr deals this year then bring better quality in next year.

I think it's also to do with the new owners being transparent and sharing information with fans unlike the liars of old hood and caisley

Lulia is a good SL player but would he be any better than Abbo or Watkins?
We don't need anymore squad players, we need players that can improve our starting 17

The only player that i would be seriously interested in signing from the Bulls is Bateman as IMO he is the only player that would improve our side

I am very happy that the Bulls have been able to hang onto their best players for the good of our competition.The Bulls best two players Bateman and Gale deserve big raps for their loyalty to the cause by staying at the club
