The timing of this announcement?

Both Chairman have made mistakes but the current board seem to have a better record in bringing our own youth through the ranks.

I am not sure what people want to be honest. 48 hours away from the deadline, away from possible administration, liquidation or oblivion and someone steps up with a plan to save us. Yes, I know who that someone is, but are we really going to get all choosy now? It might be a cynical ploy, but if it saves us, I will support it.

Adey needs to sort a meeting with caisley and let us all know what his plans are !

Before 5pm Friday? Looks like no time has been left for answering questions!

Joking aside I don't this Caisley will welcome input from the fans. In the past he was always threatening to move the franchise elsewhere.

Looking like this thread going to hit 100 pages before the day is done.
Good work everyone!

That would be one hell of a gamble to take re: force the club into administration.

The announcement of Caisley potentially riding in on his white charger to save the Bulls cannot be allowed to distract the fans from reaching the pledge target. The goal still remains the same, avoid administration.
Caisley has done the club's present BoD no favours what so ever and the in fighting that this generates could diminish the huge amount of good will that the Bulls currently have.
KEEP PLEDGING

More interesting words from the press,

"[iBradford’s chief executive Ryan Duckett spoke last week of a sustainable long-term plan which the club can implement once their short-term future is assured but they will need to provide more details if they are to be taken seriously.

Why should sponsors suddenly queue up to put money into the club when they have been so reluctant to do so over the last two or three years, especially with the same people in charge of the club? [/i" By Ian Laybourn


This after the Caisley piece

It was only a matter of time before Caisley emerged from the shadows. The timing of it certainly pulls the rug out from under the current board and could sabotage the pledge.

I've a feeling that this has been brewing for some time. I think it was Agar who criticised Hood recently for not making a more serious effort to secure a new club owner. If he's now backing Caisley it figures.

When you consider that Caisley was responsible for a lot of the ills the club is dealing with now and made us one of the most unpopular clubs in RL I fear his return. At the same time the current mob have yet to show how their business plan is going to get us out of this mess if we raise the £1m.

A rock and a hard place doesn't cover the half of it.

The T&A Comment piece seems to raise fair questions IMO.
