einstien said insanity is when a person does the same thing over and over again but expects a different result:

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!

Red Amber and Black Fantasy Rugby League Champion 2012. By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013 Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know: Mystic Eddie has been right all along! - copyright vbfg 05.01.2017:Others/combustable.gif

Worst attempt ever.

Full time in c1 with the current squad should see us back up.
What worries me is loss of further fans...bridges are going to be have to be built.

And there lies your problem. Expensive squad(A little less so now) that the club can not afford, even less fans, so racking up debt straight from the off.

Its a double edge sword for anyone taking over and they will need plenty of money, something which it looks like non of the bidder have. New Bradford's best bet would be go part time cutting costs straight away(It could be looked as a blessing that so many over paid players have their contracts ripped up when promotion was not happening anyway), there will be some loss of fans but with a part time team it can be afforded and then start in this league and put up a fight against relegation while the bank balance heads in the right direction or at least not south straight away. Avoid relegation and build for the following year(within your means) or take relegation and come straight up and build the clubs foundations correctly.
