Great question sensei and one I can't answer as I don't know their reasons.

I tend to look at the most obvious likliehood first which is Chalmers has been wanting to have control of a club for a number of years. I don't think there are is much more to it than that,not a great conspiracy I know but so be it.

Chalmers gets to run a club as he has always wanted , Nigel gets a friendly ally at the helm of Bradford and as a tennant to a valuable asset of the game

I suppose you could argue that landlords have a duty to ensure that their properties are fit for their tenants and that means keeping up to required standards (in this case their own I'd guess) so actually taking money from central funding to do that could still be spun as a penalty?

I hate most of what is going on, but if we remain the RFL's favourites, being preferred over and above every other club, due to our iconic status, then that will amply do for me. As long as we remain at this pinnacle, I'll gladly take the flak and wear the hairshirt.

The longer this exodus of players and coaching staff go's on the more sick i am starting to feel with the season a few weeks away

This would be same chev walker who announced his departure last night?. quick change of heart if true.

More rubbish. I've already had to ban someone for publishing inaccurate rumours. This causes an unbelievable amount of upset for people who's livelihoods are at risk at the moment.

In the normal scheme of things I'd let it slide but this isn't a normal situation.
