| Quote: Duckman "Nope, I want us in C1 if we're liquidated and reformed as an entirely new club- it happens to coincide with the views of the coach of the strongest C1 side who would take our champ place in a heart beat if offered, which would make life in C1 that bit easier for us as currently Toronto are likely to occupy one of the promotion spots. If we are a new club it would be proper (and more beneficial in the long run IMHO) to start at the bottom (C1) with the same points and chances as everyone else as opposed to starting in the champ with minus 12 and fighting relegation from the first kick. I couldn't really care what anyone else thinks, we have far bigger concerns first, its just the silver lining that it also marries up to what I think the general consensus of RL fans is that a new club should start from the bottom.
If were somehow bought out of admin/limbo and not liquidation then staying in the champ might be more of a goer depending on the sporting sanctions/owner'"
I would add to that, how quickly it is sorted out so that we can re-sign as many as possible of the remaining former squad members. Quite a few of the higher earners have already gone but with,say, just a six point drop we'd still have a sporting chance of at least avoiding relegation.
That's all I ask - a sporting chance, an actual reason to drag my backside up to Odsal each week, a chance to dream - isn't that all every sports fan asks?

Don`t forget the LLS matey. When the bulls were a nonentity.
And I`m not having a go at the Bulls, I am genuinely sorry about the situation, it`s just the turds like you having a pop.
We could have had more silverware if our chairman had spent more and creamed off less than those in charge of the Bulls in the glory days. Too many on the gravy train when they were getting 15,000 crowds.

| I think the supporter base could look to the new season with a lot more positivity, starting with a clean slate and no points deduction hanging over our heads for a full season. I desperately want to see the club back, but a full season with this -12 hanging over us really is quite demoralising. I wonder how the players feel, perhaps dropping down a a division would see a complete exodus, perhaps not?

If said bidder is still willing to honour current contracts hopefully they'd hang about to stick it up all the gobs

| Amazed that Rowley-Powley kept his own(-ers) counsel for as long as he (ahem) seems to have done. There was a time machine mentioned a few million posts back. Bongser has travelled in it and now submits this video diary log from September 2017.
Where's the b00gah with the swirling harp music? Tazer! Onward.
Sky Interviewer: Nigel, what a fantastic achievement by The Wolfpack today! Winning the MPG to gain promotion to SL at the expense of one of the traditional heartland clubs. The RFL must be truly made up, mustn't they?
Big Nige: Yes I am. I think that no one can now doubt that my vision of world expansionism is not the way forward. For a fledgling club such as Toronno to achieve two promotions in just seven months goes to show that, with enough cash and a coach with true INTEGRITY, a team from anywhere on the globe can sh@g over a pi$$y little northern town of dyed in the wool supporters. Good work boys and thanks for all the moose steaks.
S.I.: Anything to add?
B.N. : Well, the RFL were hoping to save these announcements for further down the line but, wtf, I am the RFL. With deepest regrets about the demise of Bradford Phoenixes, I have decided to transfer all their history and silverware to Toronno with immediate effect (just as I transfered their 12 points at the beginning of this season). Furthermore, all Toronno's away fixtures will next season be played at Odsal Stadium to show that that the RFL is still committed to Pro RL in Bradford. Lastly, Magic Weekend will this year be held in the Outer Hebides - which might be good for Mystic Eddie.

| With this talk of a new owner wanting to see us back into C1 straight away, if this was the guy who met the players this week was this put to the players when they all apparently agreed to stay on?

| KCNs first post, IIRC correctly, (apologies if not) states debt would be addressed suggesting that liquidation was off the table. That started the Green questions, curious tweets from players and the hope to be carrying on.
It now seems liquidation is still very much the route we're going and it's clear from Rowley's ramblings that Toronto have a grievance so I expect them (with all their cash) to mount a challenge based on the fact they were told new clubs start at the bottom.
People can post on totalRL about bye-law 4.7 (still can't find the bugger) but the truth is, if Perez chucks a law suit at the RFL, that discretion will go their way. We haven't a club and it's been suggested by KCN that bidders want C1 anyway...
Hunslet here we come!

| I just hope to the Lord God almighty that we get an owner that wants the club to proceed,
And had the knowledge and capital to make it happen..
Looking at the T&A pictures from Northern days 96 and 97 it's absolutely gutting!
