Quote: alpina "All that post has done is confirm there is no stadium plans in the pipeline , so no return to Bradford in the nr future

Where is Koucash, he wanted to buy the bulls and surely Chalmers has had enough ... Koucash wanted to own 100% of the club

so sell him it Chalmers !!!'"


Kind of agree... or at least invite Koucash to be a major shareholder with a view to handing it all over at some point in the future... But like has been said before, all this must be hurting season ticket sales, the special measures is the most important thing ATM. without that being lifted we are shafted for next season... 2 superleague players i know were approached by the club months ago with a regard to signing for us... then they heard nothing else...
Going to be an interesting closed season yet again.

Play on your emotions to get a big final home crowd (to ensure off season costs can be paid?) and then say, oh actually it might not be the end - just like final tours by bands. Remember the doubts some had when he first took over considering the reports of his time at the NZRL and involvement with Kiwi Forestry?'"


Three seasons without appearing in the Gazette. I am prepared to cut him some slack. If this is the first sign he's about to bugger off then who can blame him? Gets hand picked to do the RFL's bidding then when he does cut costs, moves and says there is a plan to come back half the 'loyal' fan base start screaming about sacking off the club and the RFL hamstrings him?

12k miles away from home I think I'd be tempted to say 'Phuq the lot of you'.

This is a bit harsh. Yes they pushed the 'last game at Odsal' angle pretty hard, and managed to get a crowd of 7,500 there for a regular league game. I'm sure there were many lapsed supporters there and I'm sure everyone who went enjoyed the game, because we won and we won well.
So to say we were strung along like kippers isn't quite right.

Chalmers has never been one for speaking directly to the fans. In fact he seems far more keen to act rather than speak.

3 years and no financial issues bar a small issue with some CCJs that all seemed to be mountains made of molehills simply because it's Bradford (and tbh, if I was a supplier for this club, given it's recent financial history a missed payment would make me head straight down the CCJ route too).
A good coach and a decent team including a strong academy.
A bold strategy of telling the RFL no we're not staying at Odsal because the costs are crippling the club.

TBH, I don't see that Chalmers hasn't done everything he can to ensure that the Bulls not only survive but that they are in a position to improve and grow. But that's just the opinion of someone who can only see what's actually been done and doesn't have some "inside info" and if he was to leave just because of some ungrateful fans with a chip on their shoulder it would be a loss to the club

I would like him to say what he was originally promised when approached to take over.

I'd be wary of any approach to Koucash. His intentions are to start a team in Liverpool and who knows he may see Bradford as the ideal vehicle for such a scheme, especially as they have agreed voluntarily to move from Odsal.
