You're perhaps really badly managed and riding your luck. It doesn't sound like he knows what's happening. I can recommend spending less on things you might not be able to afford soon.

Im trying and failing haha

The website picture, the domain being purchased, the company being lodged at companies house.

Certainly more substance than "in the know posters"

I could live with Green being a shareholder. Caisley was until 2012 and we didnt hear anything from him since 2005.

If there is any truth in all this then it will shut up idiots like "Saint Toppy" on the Total RL forum because remaining in the Championship with a points deduction would be a perfectly reasonable outcome.

What really strikes me, and I've said this already on that forum, is that so close to kick off, the RFL have made no noises whatsoever regarding how they would proceed if a Bradford team could not be cobbled together in time for the start of the season - something which would be a highly probable outcome in any scenario other than the RFL having prior knowledge of a deal already in the pipeline and being 100% certain a Bradford team will be there at the starting blocks.

I agree completely. And yet the timing is so goddamn weird. It feels very much like this, but it feels very much like Green panicked at the last minute after realising playing hardball wasn't working out for him. We are still in admin and so he does still have a degree of control over proceedings.

If the club is bought from the administrator shouldn't you be entitled to your full share of central funding?

Wonder if Lamb is involved?
If not he's put a lot of time and effort in this week has the lad...

It would also be nice to have a RL man running the show?

So, feel dizzy with it all, but can anyone say:-

1. How many players were at the meeting and committed to stay (names as well would be nice!)
2. Was Richardson's bid the one accepted by the RFL, but rejected by Pettit? If that is the case, I can't see how the RFL can turn it down. Also, if that is the case Pettit has played a blinder in getting a better deal for the creditors, at the cost of probaly us losing approx.12 players.

If true, I really hope we hang into the majority of the academy players, haven't seen any news except Jacob Butterworth going.

What I don't get is if this is all in place and I hope for you it is, why have RFL today published the criteria to offer? If they did that and yet were in negotiation with someone to take you now and were talking to people while saying the deadline for the 10 interested parties was Monday. This would be viewed as unfair advantage and I don't think you can do that.

It all seems at odds.

That was only if the Bulls were Liquidated. If information is correct then they weren't yet and thus giving Green shares pays the biggest creditor so technically Bulls are in Admin still. However the staff were made redundant so those that have left have left within their rights.

Lamb is not involved. Derek Richardson and David Thorne are the new owners. As I understand this Marc Green has been very smart. Avoiding paying redundancy money and getting rid of top earners in players.

They published a criteria only one could meet.
