Once again it is a broken system that has once again landed Bradford RL fans with a dodgy owner with a track record of liquidation and large debts to the tax man. Albeit in NZ so that doesn't count on the fit and proper test over here according to Big Nigel. I'm all for accepting new owners with good grace, but only if it's a fair process and unfortunately I've spent too many years on the inside to ever trust Big Nigel and his cronies. [DELETED So many questions to answer for the madness and sadly the Bradford Bulls will never recover from this decision.


Going bust and using the system to escape isn't [icriminal[/i, even if we feel it might be, so using that word isn't justified.

Yesterday we didn't exist so it can be much worse! If we keep going with this guy more time for me to win lotto!

I don't know why but this post has a whiff of Mick Gledhill/Peter Hood.

Where have you got your info regarding going part time. The players nor Rohan seem to know at the moment...

Someone seems to have gone quite bitter.

People were hardly beating the door down to buy us. Sounds like there were 4 option.

1. We currently have no club. We can continue to have no club (not a good option).

2. Thorne buys the club with Marc Green (you said this was not a good option)

3. Lamb buys the club and fans own a 52% stake in the club. Obviously requires fans to buy the stake but at this moment in time, given the current feeling and the fan numbers, is this feasible? Possibly part time?

4. Charmers. Bad track record and going part time (according to you). It's a consortium so may have financial backing and a plan for Odsal.

I'm confused, which option should the RFL have gone with?

Is there no job for you?

A good businessman is generally one with a couple of bankruptcies behind him.
Let's go into this without pre judgment.
I reckon he's just a front man for a well known stinking rich backer.

Very bitter post from a man `in the know` who at the end of the day................wasn`t.


Chalmers wasn`t head of NZ RL without reason. Over here he will have monetary support and the result will be good for the Bulls (2017).

My only gripe would be the club should be in C1 as the HMRC will now be watching EVERY club to ensure Tax payments are made on time.

This decision is solely down to the RFL, so if it turns out to be as big a disaster as you seem to think, they're going to look pretty stupid aren't they?
Let's just wait and see what happens next week. That press conference will soon turn sour if part time rugby is on the cards.

Charmers was the RFL'S preferred bidder preliquidation. Their statement said that, should the bid be accepted, then the Bulls have an exciting future ahead of them. Are you sure that future is part time rugby?

Think OP is lost. In the words of Delboy 'you don't live here anymore!'. Cas forums thataway>>

And the problem with that is?

Correct payment should be made on time. Saves a lot of hassle

The mod that deleted the bit in the original may want to delete the bits where people have quoted it too.

Done pal!
