Not being kept. Just announced it on Twitter -_-

Sorry to all the Bradford boys and
supports, but the new owners have made
the decison not to keep me on board for 2017.
I had to call the club myself to find out the
news.

The way the players,staff and fans
have been treated throughout this whole
situation is absolutely appalling and I'm so
proud how you all have conducted
yourselves.

A big Thank You to Rohan for the
opportunity to be a part of this great club,
I had an awesome 6 months here.

Good luck to all the boys for the season
and with your futures.

Dane Chisholm - 19/01/2017

Not that surprising but still disappointing.
Chisholm won't come cheap, and after years of being told to cut our cloth accordingly, it sounds like these guys might actually be doing it.

Well that certainly scream statement of intent! Hopefully we sign Keyes up on a long term deal.

Shocking that he was the one phoning the club not the other way around

Not only what they are doing, its the manner these guys are conducting themselves.

We are not in good hands here

Not too surprising really. Not that he would have got here in time but if we're playing on Sunday tomorrow's announcement needs to be a rather large one.

dissapointing but not a massive surprise TBH. Chisholm and Moss were very much Smiths players. After hanging about all way through admin process, when Moss went within 24hrs of new owners taking over, It looked like a big indicator that smith wasnt going to be retained and chisholm would follow him out of the door.

Communication from new owners is very poor so far, but at moment I'm giving them benefit of doubt as they must be overwhelmed tring to sort a lot of things out in short order.

Shame he’s not coming back. Thanks for the all too brief memories.

Looks like Leon and A N Other at halfback then. Wonder what Keyes status is? It’d be great if we could keep him but I can see Thomas playing halfback – if we keep him

shame a I liked him great player.. They must have a few very large aces up their sleeve if they are wanting to play Sunday,
I would say a new coach bringing a few players straight in.

They must have a plan or Leon wouldn't have signed upto it he isn't stupid.

With regards to the hysteria on Facebook banter like the world has just ended, Rohan again a nice guy failed to get us top 4 last year, the players last year also failed to do this, the management team failed to keep the club afloat.

To replace all these things in one foul swoop can only be seen as a positive.

Remember the clear out of 95, when Fox and co were shown the door I was gutted, again I could be massively wrong but we cant be any worse that we have been for two years.

Admirable.

Way I see it - the RFL are a bunch of ignorant amateurs with their own private agenda, and like the European Commission, cannot be ousted.

They do not communicate and conduct themselves in a very poor and unprofessional manner.

This process has been about installing owners who replicate themselves - granted - the opportunity presented to them is courtesy of Green.

But its been grabbed with both hands and we now have owners who conduct themselves as per the RFL model.

I won't be investing - I'm out

I suppose the new owners feel that they don't have the obligation to let players who are no longer on the books so to speak anything, with Dane in Oz a bit more out of sight out of mind, but still it should have been common courtesy to let him know!
But they obviously want to play hard @ rse and make Gary Hetherington look positively philanthropic! That's fine with Players and Staff but I wouldn't try that with long suffering Fans!

Well it's disappointing but it's difficult to comment without seeing the full picture. Do we have players already in mind or are they simply cutting loose a lot of the high earning players? This season is looking longer by the minute, let's hope we have some good news to soften the blow tomorrow.

Agree with the first part, we currently have one player signed and are supposed to have a game on Sunday. Unless we get others who are in the UK signed in short order Leon will be very busy against Hudders.

Did Lowe not say yesterday they would be sorting playing contracts in the next 48 hrs? has that 48 hours passed no?
As $hitty as it sounds there may have been a phone call today?
