Maybe it's time for Nigel to sell his shate before we end up going out of existence?..

Who's buying?

I believe Nigel would gladly sell his share of the club if he could find a buyer

That's a Peter Hood quote. Just before he secured a secret £700k loan from ..........................

Why did he take us on in the first place when he clearly doesn't have the funds to run the Club successfully.
There is rumours that he was involved behind the scenes whilst working at the IRLF.. and Chalmers was just a front.
If he does want "rid" I wish he would start shopping us about and do so before he kills us, its bad when Keighley are showing more potential than us.
The guy on the radio last night from the cougars was enthusiastic and full of optimism, whilst loving us getting pumped.
Its not Dunning thats holding the club back, and I dont think it was Kear (apart from playing mundane RL) its the management and ownership.
With their bargain basement attitude and reliance on the dying fan bases good will.

Wood's malign influence has been a factor since Hood was in charge (see the Odsal "deal" back in 2012). Then if you look at who was given "RFL" approval to take over club ownership since then it's a real rogues gallery.

Why he wants the club is anyone's guess. He certainly doesn't show much enthusiasm for it and judging by noises coming out of the club they're absolutely skint.

I don't own a Rugby League club, because I can't afford to run one, and don't have the skill set to run one....
I wish Nige had learned that lesson after he took the Bluesox into admin, left them homeless and in the championship forever.

I don't see any way back. Nobody is championing the club, there is zero enthusiasm or communication. Dunning speaks well and sensibly but not a word from boardroom level other than it has to be sustainable.

Well here's news - it doesn't. Give the people absolutely nothing to get behind, feel proud of, feel part of as Bradfordians - to enjoy even and it will not sustain. The post-Caisley campaign to demonise Caisley and thereby excuse the Hood/McNamara debacle has reached a weird ironic apotheosis with Wood stood in Odsal on his own.

Keeping my powder dry until I see who we appoint as coach and how next year's squad shapes up.
Just watching an interview with John Kear now and he mentions that next season is 'a very important season for the game as a whole'.

Bulls need to make sure we finish in the top 6/top 8 next year if it's 2 teams of 10 or 2 teams of 12 from 2024 otherwise might as well call it a day.

I feel something more dramatic is coming for both the game and the Bulls. 51k for a 4 team cup final. Giants scored and it was so quiet I thought the ref had stopped play.

The game needs a boost alright.

As for the Bulls we're just like a modern day Huddersfield Barracudas. We need a Ken Davy or we'll continue to wither on the vine.

I don't think there is any way that Nigel could get us to where we need to be, I would actually love to be proved wrong and he kickstarts Bullmania again.
Given there is very little chance that is going to happen I think he should do the honourable thing and give Chris Caisley a bell..

Playing devils advocate here..

After all the years of owners who have stolen money, not paid people, sent us bust. The club is now at least seemingly getting the fundamentals right. Progression might be slow compared to other clubs, but isn’t this better than the boom or bust we’ve seen in recent years?

I have spoken to Nigel and Jason Hirst a few times in hospitality, as a fan it’s painful to see us nowhere near the likes of Featherstone. But I admire the fact they aren’t promising anything and are just trying to make the club sustainable. Something we all wanted. Are things perfect? Far from it. But maybe better things are coming and we shouldn’t really be looking for scapegoats? The guy pumped 600k in of his own money clearing chalmers debts. Why would he have let that amount of debt get run up if he was involved?
