Aside from anything else, you must be very proud of having that kind of relationship with your son.

Hello mate. Yes I am, very. We have always been best friends.
I got custody of him when he was 6 and for the majority of those years I brought him up on my own. I do know if I hadn’t of got custody of him, pretty certain he wouldn’t be where he is today, even though I say so myself.

I know what it means to him to play for the Bulls, it was his dream. Regardless of what was my dream, this was his dream.
Some people really have to be held to account for what’s happened

“I” have absolutely no insider knowledge at all

I am of the opinion that this pension scandal is only act 1 in what could become a complete sh*tstorm
But that is only because what has allegedly happened under previous regimes and failed takeovers

Forgot you could do that! Hardly posted on here in ages

You good mate?

Re the first half of your comment, we agree with you wholeheartedly.

As for the second half, we are sure that RD/EM can make up their own minds. With respect 'mumby' it's not about what we need or a perverse desire to make 'claims' appear genuine. This is a very serious matter. We are genuine. RD/EM will likely get things sorted without involving us, or liaising with us, and we hope so. EM is one of the many victims who are already known to the outside world. That said, and has been alluded to by many on the forum (and elsewhere) there may well be more, possibly a lot more, news and and details of alleged victims/ folk who have lost out, to follow.

That said, as public spirited people and Bulls fans we know that there is a bigger picture here. We agree with many of RD's sentiments and consider that what is needed is for the truth to come out, backed up by robust facts/evidence, and thereafter for the club to be stabilised, to prosper, get a new stadium (or return to a revamped Odsal), and ultimately get back into SL, or alternatively be offered the opportunity to join an expanded SL structure. That may be achieved by the new consortium, but given what we know already, and nothing against CB and others, we sense that such a truly positive outcome appears to be unlikely.

As for what is known already, well as said previously watch what happens over the coming days and weeks. We do not have a crystal ball, but our instincts tell us that a dramatic change of direction and ownership is required for the club, all with the cross party support of the Council. We are now certainly confident of the latter.

A community stadium with 3 shares, for Bulls, council and BPA if they wished (bit like the Huddersfield original stadium model) would be a good option

I suspect you are no different to his brother 'Anyone' in hoping that 'S.O. Else' is going to install the club in new premises.

The council has no money since, after the reduction in monies from central government, they are juggling the figures to just pay for statutory requirements, let alone build grounds. Without commercial backing that is a non-starter, I'm afraid. Of course the council has other things it could offer, like land, but that too must come at a price, or some attached commercial deal, in these straightened times.

Maybe that 'commercial' helping hand is you? Oh Jeez, I hope you're not the front for some hedge fund.....we definitely wouldn't be amused at that!

Fair pont PP, I'll be sure to be more careful

Really hope that there is a positive outcome for Bradford Bulls from all this. It is the players and fans I feel sorry for. Being a Fax fan I have seen a fair share of turmoil over the years!! Whilst we may have a rivalry between our clubs as near neighbours, at the end of the day we are all part of the RL family, and I hate to see any club struggle.

I thank you for that Inoffski, your kind thoughts are appreciated. As you can tell by reading around the board we're all still very upbeat and very positive about it......
