| One thing puzzling me is that at no time in the whole process have we heard any voice of the old shareholders, since CC forced the EGM. I am curious as to what they all make of it.
A few short months ago, they were shareholders in one of the oldest and most illustrious rugby league clubs in the world.
As a result of them not being able to do anything better, or choosing to sit on their hands, or whatever it was that they did, they are now simply shareholders in a defunct and worthless company, about to be liquidated. And the club has fled the nest and is now the proud possession of a brand new owner.
Maybe there is a reason why it seems all the shareholders just seemingly let their end slide into oblivion. Maybe between them they were just sick of the club or had lost interest in it. Perhaps they didn't know what was happening. I have no clue. But I must say I don't understand it.
Did any of the main other shareholders at least try to do anything? If not, why not? And now that they have lost whatever they had, why haven't we heard any comment at all, still, from any of them? Were they really all, to a man, so totally disinterested that nobody thought it even worth a mention? Or have I missed it?
Just wondering.

| I was surprised to see Coulby and Agar sitting in their usual seats in the Directors Box at the Hull game
It all seemed a bit surreal when Omar Khan and Gerry Sutcliffe were taking the acclaim of the crowd as our new owners.

I'm not disclosing which shareholder, but the person was in attendance to show his support for the Omar Khan, Gerry Sutcliffe administration.

Shameful!
To think we shared plates of sausage rolls after the Wigan home game.

| I would expect Omar to re-capitalise the club from the current £100 to something seriously more substantial.
Old shareholders and new could be interested.
Shareholding is not a debt on the company's accounts for future licence financial tests

To Omar - definitely.
To the side he switched from - definitely not.

the subtle difference between the club and the ownership vehicle seems to elude you. So a nice simple illustration for you. Is the British Government a mere two years four months old? Or is that when the cons got their hands on it (with the help of a few yellow bellies)?
The Bradford Bulls Holdings Ltd is dead,long live the Bradford Bulls.

Exactly. We have a long and continuous history, just with a few hiccups along the way! Gives me an excuse to link to this excellent blog I found whilst spending too much time on the net;
rlbradford fc, 1895, founding members, challenge cup and all thatrl
I'm sure someone (af?) posted a while back about a rl historian essentially tracing a continuous history of the club back further than 1895? To the 1860's?
Anyway, on the thread, I'm also surprised we haven't heard much from some of the old key players, I do wonder if that will last and who might get involved further down the line in one form or another.
