Richardson wasn't at the meeting. Just one of the inaccuracies posted by the original poster. I will say no more because unlike KCNBABT I was there. I agreed, when asked, to abide by a request for confidentiality. |

You get that there's a certain irony in saying you agreed to stay confidential but mentioning that Richardson wasn't there? 
Clarification: I'm only jesting. Appreciate the info really. |

I would say a meeting with Rfl today would be to say don't get ahead of yourselves..
We would much prefer a mad dash 2 week preparation for the coming season.

So last night I posted a blog that said Thorne invited Richardson to Wasps. Here's the same story told differently.
www.sportsmanagement.co.uk/Sport ... wood/29740
According to that Thorne brought in an experienced manager who then brought in Richardson who then bought out Thorne.
And the moment when they were within seconds of going bust happened a few months into Richardson's reign. |

Yes. The news was broken on this very forum, and subsequently in the trade press. |

Right. So he wasn't there. I think we can be sure of that now.
Whoever was there it sounds like it was Thorne.
He doesn't sound wealthy. It was Richardson's money that saved Wasps. He may not be on board with this.

Wheres the money coming from to fund the squad and a new domain which may or may not be relevant if he doesnt win the bid. If he wasnt particularly wealthy surely he wouldn't waste money on purchasing a domain when hes no club.
Sorry if this has been mentioned earlier in forum, is Thorne still involved with Wasps. |

| Quote: Bull Mania "Interview with Thorne
David Thorne, the former CEO and owner of the rugby union side Wasps, is one of the parties interested in re-forming Bradford Bulls following the club’s liquidation this week.
Thorne officially registered a company called Bradford Bulls Capital Limited with Companies House on Wednesday, before meeting the remaining members of playing staff at the club’s Odsal stadium.
That meeting was not sanctioned or attended by anyone involved with the Rugby Football League, and while the New Zealand-born businessman told the Guardian that the meeting was not held to undermine the RFL’s bidding process for the club – the deadline for expressions of interest in forming a new club is Monday – he believes the former Super League champions and World Club Challenge winners are an “iconic brand” worth rescuing.

“In no way do we want to be seen to be trying to usurp the RFL’s process, this was an innocent and perhaps naive meeting and maybe we should have waited,” he said. “But as an interested party I thought it was important to speak to the players and staff from a humanitarian perspective in person, because they’re all in limbo not knowing what is going on.
“I’ve been through this process with Wasps before so I know what it’s all about, and I see Bradford Bulls as an iconic brand within sport. If there’s something we can bring to the table and help remedy the situation then we feel we can contribute
That certainly reads as liquidation/newco rather a last minute admin deal prior to liquidation.

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg |
|
|
So from the Guardian article it looks like Thorne is going through the RFL process of bidding to start a new club in Bradford. CHinese whispers has nothing on this saga

My critical faculties are failing me. Can you start putting in large, bold letter at the top of every post whether what is being said is good or bad news?
