Quote: pjbull "Goodbye FA and thank you for all your heartfelt posts down the years.
It has been years since I have posted but I cannot not. I am left slightly bemused by the response to events of the last 4-6 weeks by Bulls' fans. We seem concerned by two things which are that the new owners don't have any money and whether we will be competitive next year. Rather than worrying about next year we should be focusing entirely on what the hell has happened over the last two years.
Let's not forget, practically none of the owners of Championship Clubs have money to speak of - but have they racked up all the debts we (allegedly) have?
Let's not forget, our gates are 3-4 times the size of most other clubs - but have they racked up all the debts we (allegedly) have?
Let's not forget, that we had two Cup ties this season which will have boosted club funds by £150k that other clubs didn't - but have they racked up the debts we (allegedly) have?
Let's not forget, players have contracts so the owners know exactly what playing costs they are committing to; we didn't get relegated from SL with a commitment to huge contracts. How the hell have we racked up the debts we (allegedly) have?
Let's not forget, Chalmers was put in position as a fit and proper person with the club having no debt and the promise of running a tight ship that pays its way.
Does anyone know where we can see the Bulls' accounts for the year 2017-18?
There is something seriously not right about all this and I would suggest that Bulls' fans don't worry themselves about next season but apply the brake right now and rather than be taken in by the sound-bites from Perez/Sawyer/Wood ('fell in love with the brand" - my ar*e) start asking some difficult questions, seek complete transparency and, if necessary, involve the Bradford MPs. Otherwise it looks very likely that the Nestegg scenario is the only logical outcome to all this.'"
Accounts for year ending 31st Jan 18 are available to see on the Companies House website (search Bradford Bulls 2017). Year ending Jan 19 accounts are due by the end of this month.
