really
No ground, no squad and pension debt?

Yeh I think I would prefer to see what state we are in before patting him on the back and wishing him a fond farewell back to NZ.

We were tenants. He’s changed us from tenants at an eye wateringly expensive ground to a relatively cheap ground. He’s cleared the decks to allow the new owner a discussion on the budgets he wants to run next year. I assume we’re not in administration (that is important) as it is described as a sale so the buyer must be comfortable with the level of debt?

Yes, we lost the ground 8 years ago, basically. Do keep up

I still think there's more to play out with this - or maybe the cynicism born from previous shenanigans has tainted me?

Where has a change of ownership suddenly come from? It wasn't on the horizon a couple of weeks ago when Chalmers was 'selling' us the Dewsbury move and pushing season tickets. Has he gone willingly - or was pushed (by the RFL, one may speculate)

Like I say, I think a lot more is going to emerge this week...

Chalmers done best for decades?H had to sell Wilson,offload Chissy and lost Ethan Ryan,John Bastian,lost our home at Odsal,took the Bulls out of Bradford,defaulted on pension payments and charged maximum rates at the turnstiles.I reckon if he hadn't have had Olkie to sell the game would have been up then.You're kiddin,right?Elliot's Dad's comments spoke volumes to me.Someone hasn't been playing with a straight bat imo.I am sure there is more to come out here.

Goodbye Bulls, goodbye Rugby League. Bored to death of the appalling administration throughout the game.

I think the devil is in the detail, some of which we probably won't ever get to find out.

On the face of it, yes you could say Chalmers had nothing to begin with and left us in the championship and not in admin. After all us fans have had to endure, just not being in admin feels like a momental victory.

But the stuff about pensions and Rogers comments and Ethan Ryan's dad's tweets, there was something seriously wrong going on. Not paying pensions, refusing to give players MRI scans (according to Ethans dad) make uncomfortable reading.

I sincerely hope with the new owners those sort of basics of how we treat our players and businesses are dealt with professionally. Those things are far more important than on field performances in the long run.

Also the identity of the consortium is being revealed in league express and apparently he won't like being revealed.

Step forward big Nige.

Journo now saying all of next years central funding gone already! No wonder budgets don’t add up

League Express stating that outstanding money owed to creditors is part of the reason for the special measures.

Suggesting it's the club not paying it's bills as to why they're not allowed to sign players. Not spite. Who'd have thought it? Actual reasons rather than tinfoil hat conspiracy theories.
