I have just read the article, and don't know whether to laugh or cry. I always said I would welcome anyone who could save our club. But George Galloway? Political Heavyweight? Who writes this stuff at the T & A! Prove me wrong Mr Political Heavyweight or at least show us the money and quick.

The MD of Morrisons has an RU background, but I suspect he is not as stupid as some CEOs.'"
Maybe that is why he hasn't invested |

If I remember it was his middle east connections that led him to leaving the Labour party so there might actually be some mileage in this. It will certainly test all those people that said they don't care who takes over.

While in the short term it might be o/k it won't work long term, so if its funding from Sheik Yabooty, Sheik Italittlebit or Sheik Rattleandroll I would raather someone UK based with a UK culture!

No, I meant the CEO Dalton Philips not the President. |

I'm rather surprised he wasn't approached immediately upon winning his seat. He'll certainly be able to attract attention to the plight.
Secondly he's heading up a party who are putting up new candidates in the council elections in 3 weeks time so will want to make a local splash.
More importantly I believe his ambitions extend beyond Bradford West. He knows the boundary changes will affect his chances of retaining the seat in 2 years time. In 3 weeks the Bradford District also vote whether to have an elected an mayor.
Everything points to Galloway having his sights firmly set on being the leader of the 4th largest Council in England with the added responsibility of being in charge of the Police and other functions. Any person standing for elected Mayor would certainly have a vested interest in assisting the Bulls in their hour of need. The added bonus of getting one over on the other elected officials who shall we say are not exactly flavour of the month with Bulls supporters must be a priority.

The one good advantage with having Galloway is he can't afford the bad press, last time it cost him, this time he'll have learned his lesson and he'll go out of his way to look good.

Galloway might not be everyone's cup of tea but he certainly generates publicty.

Well two of his good contacts in the Middle East: Saddam and Gaddafi unfortunately wont be able to contribute unless Gorgeous George has kept some of their funding, and guess his mate in Syria is also a bit tide up at the moment. Still his contacts in Iran and North Korea might have time to contribute - though when they discover the the Bulls aren't a cover for a revolutionary anarchist movement they might ask him some difficult questions!
And we think we have problems with Hood and Caisley now?

| Quote: Adeybull "There will be no takeover, unless a person or persons can acquire more than 50% of the shares.
And if they cannot get all the shares, or at least more than 75%, they'll be as hamstrung as the board post-Caisley has been.
And the board decides who shares can be transferred to.
D'"
And thereby lies the root of the whole problem! |

I think you're confusing Galloway with each of the last three prime ministers. Easy mistake to make. |

Where do you draw the line...
Anyway, can anyone think of any other candidates?

There is. And there's also a difference between agreeing with someone and denouncing them as a genocidal maniac which, in the case of Gadaffi, is the drum Galloway banged for years.
Anyhoo, that's enough of that.
If Galloway the camera magnet has means of helping then we would do well to let him.
