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.'"
The interesting thing for me is Thornes constant use of the word "we" during that article. All though the Guardian 'understands' (where have we heard that term before?!) that nobody connected with Wasps is involved, clearly somebody else is teamed up with him, he isn't doing it alone. Just who exactly the other people involved are, who knows.

| Only been registered....just in case......as per an article in the Guardian where Thorne confirms the reason for registering it. There is also a quote in from King of morals Paul Rowley stating Toronto would jump at the chance to replace Bradford

Quote: Bull Mania "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.'"
Domain won't be very expensive, Thorne is not involved with Wasps, look on link below what he is involved in.

| Quote: woolly07 "We should all have realised by now that nothing written on here can be treated as the truth.
There are far too many people pretending to know the truth.
A week ago I wondered if this site could work against the process of selling the Bulls because of all the miss-information being possibly read by people and especially players wondering what to do. Might a player have jumped too soon because of what he or his family have read and believed as fact.
It is now clear to me that although this site is an entertainment to some and point of information to most there is a real danger that it is doing harm not only to peoples heads but may be helping to add fuel to a fire that needs to be dampened down and allow people to get on with the deal without unfounded speculation.
Not everyone has the sense and intelligence to filter out the nonsense from snippets of truth.
I have a very low regard to social media as I work in IT and see the trouble it can cause due to its faceless and nameless nature. People need to read everything and take it with a large pinch of salt. S.Media. causes waves of emotional ups and down and we get that here. So, Enjoy reading but if you imagine everyone is trying to fool you into believing their story you should be OK.
Beware people who say I do know or I was there.'"
Unfortunately many are not listening Woolly! Especially your caution that
"may be helping to add fuel to a fire that needs to be dampened down and allow people to get on with the deal without unfounded speculation"

Ah, I understand now. No, I imagine many haven't. Best make surehttps://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/10548988rl
I'm starting to come round to the idea that, actually, we are f*cked.

| Well, there were converging details that gave it some credibility. And not just the Companies House link.

| Well as I've said all along I'm not getting my hopes up. Nothing is confirmed until I hear it in the eventual press conference.
In the meantime you'll always get speculation.

But where's the fun in that? And how else are we meant to hit 460 pages?!

That would make sense. Everyone complaining we shouldn't be in Championship so replace them with a club with no history/experience etc.

| As both threads were now talking about the same thing and because I want the site to crash again, I've merged them.

Fair enough- each to their own.
Personally I'd rather have a viable team to support than reach the magic target of pages .Somebody should create an update for the social network age based on the old saying" today's newspapers are tomorrow's chip wrapping"

No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent.: |
|
| It does seem as if your club is a magnet for individuals who are owners/running/involved in rugby union clubs.
I don't think followers of rugby league clubs would be impressed if their owners/individuals running clubs showed an interest in other clubs/other sports.
Anyway,to help try and take your mind from the stresses and anxieties,here is a rlLinky Thingrl
