Quote: Bull Mania "Not sure why Nigel would want to take over the Bulls job. He's on what, £300k a year. A nice easy job with no challenge whatsoever to his decisions. Clubs bend over backwards as soon as he flashes the cheque book at them to agree to a change to the sport, whether that be sponsorship, restructuring etc. When it all goes belly up, he's safe from criticism as the clubs as the ones who voted in the rule changes.
Why would he want to come to a poison chalice like us.'"
This is what I don't understand either.
All I can guess is that either:
a) He's just about to be ousted from the RFL in some sort of devious coup (some would say ' not before time')
or
b) He's part of some sort of grubby money-making scam involving selling off Odsal for vast profit.
Outside of those two options, I don't see why he would voluntarily give up his cushy and lucrative job-for-life at the RFL to get involved with something as toxic as the Bradford Bulls
