Erm, well yeah I do. Just looking at the way they ran the bidding process seems to show that they don't really know what they're doing. There's mentions of the RFU and the RFL procedures and the huge gulf in professionalism between them.

Even on Friday the RFL were even forced into making a bungled admission that they had actually FOUND a buyer, and since then? Nothing.

The RFL had better pull their finger out though if they want this phantom Bradford team to take a mullering by Hull KR in2 and a bit weeks though: We have no team, no coach, some invisible owners and some irate fans at the moment. And I imagine the number of fans who give a t0ss is rapidly diminishing right as we speak.

The RFL issued Statement on Friday saying the news about a Bradford RL was"exciting".Where in subsequent news - or lack of - can this word possibly be justified?

Inside Nigel's head?

We know (pretty much) that the RFL are hanging on to the lease so apart from the chance of "jam tomorrow" there seems no chance to get any money back from Odsal in the foreseeable - and absolutely no guarantee ever, which is kinda more the point.

First job - borrow half a mill off RFL, and go part time with no investment of any sort sounds as insane as I assume it is - the ramblings of a lunatic.

Whatever Chalmers and Lowe might be - WFT would they have done what they have to end up slitting the new club's wrists on day 1? And however mad Chalmers is, there is zero chance he would put his personal house up as security for VAT. Anyone who believes that must be nuts. It's as believable to me as signing Warwick Davis to replace Sidlow.

I call bollox.

OMG what did I say?

He looks massive in that pic.

Thanks to our part-time voluntary new conditioner

It all sounds like Bull, does this mean that the RFL will potentially, very shortly, own Odsal and Chalmers house, if he's got a big garden they might look to expand and set up a team there.

Sounding like they will be no press conference but a press release this afternoon.

Will there be an announcement though about the press release about the press conference?

I think it likely that the RFU would be just as clueless in a similar situation. Difference is, they'd just let market forces take their course with minimal interference. They certainly wouldn't asre about micro-managing a survival package in the way the RFL has.
