"Whilst this is distressing and sad news, the RFL are aware of another person looking to take on the #BradfordBulls. Hopefully, i'll have more on this developing story this afternoon. #RugbyLeague"

obviously not, take up the opportunity and use the days to reveal yourself and your plans to save the day, it what you seemed to want or is it too shorter notice

A further update coming up shortly apparently.

Statement from consortium

FOLLOWING THE STATEMENT FROM CHRIS BRERETON THE CONSORTIUM LOOKING TO TAKE OVER THE CLUB HAS TODAY ISSUED THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE.
We would like to thank Chris for all his hard work over the past weeks, moving the club into a position where a transition can take place from Andrew and the previous board to new investors.

We are sure it was a very difficult decision for Chris and we thoroughly understand and respect his reasons for standing down from the consortium at this time.

Although Chris stepping down is disappointing, it won’t affect the resolve of the remaining group and we are hopeful of some positive news at the first fans forum tomorrow night.

We look forward to speaking with all the fans who have managed to secure a ticket for either tomorrow or Wednesday nights fans forums.

So who has actually written that??

Guess fans will find out tomorrow. Why they couldn't introduce themselves god only knows. Anyway I expect hopes to be raised, dragged on until Christmas and go pop anyway

The Bulls brand is a bit schizophrenic. If you did a survey in an area with good RL exposure - you'd get good & bad brand recognition. If you did surveys in London & the south, you'd likely only get brand recognition of Leeds, Wigan, Saints & Bradford Bulls.

May well be Ralph (in late evening in Oz; assuming he's still there) possibly under the influence of the alleged puppet master.

You need root and branch reform of the RFL to get anywhere. That's a big ask, but not we feel insurmountable. We have some central and local gov't 'support' on our side.

Our heritage and history I am proud of and irreplaceable to me, but the legacy left is beyond comprehension and has now seen the Club's modern day Branding tarnished and it's standing all but demolished. We need a new Club and a rename if ever there is a possibility.

Who thinks Jay Wiley will emerge again?

I liked her.

The whole thing is equal parts tragic and farcical.

We have fans forums scheduled with a faceless group of people who nobody can even name. Apparently another consortium (again, faceless) in the wings. Is this anything to do with 'nestegg'. Who can know?

I'm just too jaded to really care anymore.

Put the whole thing out its misery. Liquidate the club and start over as Bradford Northern in League 1 playing out of Horsfall with absolutely no connection with the current or previous versions. No Duffy, no McFarlane, no RFL puppet masters. no Nigel Wood, no Nestegg

A complete fresh start. Or I'm out

I feel you. I am sick to the back teeth of all the smoke and mirrors now. Even whoever is posting this on the website is hiding behind anonymity. I think I've had enough now, never mind after all the arsing about is done with. When it looked like Chalmers might be going, my interest peaked up. I think now it's at it's lowest ever point and I'm not sure I'm even going to bother reading any more about it.
