Quote: el red "A question for Bradford fans, would you prefer someone who says they are going to throw money at the situation or someone who is going to try something new but run the club on a tight leash?

As a fan of another club I'm just interested in what the fans want the new club to look like, and how they'd accept it being run.'"


Personally, I want someone who's going to run things sensibly enough that we don't end up in debt again. If that means a slightly less competitive team, I'm ok with that. But it's getting the balance between that and staying competitive enough that we still have some hope of advancement.

That being said, it's going to need someone with some money to bankroll the first season. We're going to be in a state in 2017 so it needs someone with money to help us tread water while things get levelled out and settle down again. Someone coming in with no money but expecting fans to stump up isn't going to cut it. Hence why I don't want Lamb or Moore anywhere near the club. I don't trust either of them one little bit.

I'm sure I have read somewhere they wanted ideally to sort it by Friday but I may be wrong.

Money. Or it'll be a case of 'same time, same place next year?'

It's not David Thorne who is getting the club, so Stu Duffy lifeline to stay in position has gone. Good riddance to a truly nasty piece of work.

For selfish reasons for my sons career can I ask for both?

I've seen Billy Bull$hit say it, so that means nothing at all. Haven't seen anyone else specifically say Friday though.

I expect it takes as long as it takes, but bearing in mind when the season starts, I'm sure they appreciate it needs sorting sooner rather than later.

Are you saying you no who is getting the club?

I didn't think it was him who said it but may be wrong.

Been reading that much stuff I dunno where I have read half of the things I have.

You can't reconcile "knowing" that and being a player's Dad.

Seeing the two pictures that went up on Twitter today has made me feel a lot more positive about things. Two pics of the remaining former Bulls players training together this morn in Bulls training gear. If all the players in those pics do sign up to the new club we'll still have the makings of a decent team. Only ones I couldn't see were Chisholm, Joseph and Lumb. Chisholm is in Oz still though.

To keep doing what they're doing, unpaid with all the stress is unbelievable. I really hope the Batley game can go ahead this weekend as I really want to go down and appalud them for just being there.

If I can go to bed on Sun night having watched a Bradford team play rugby and with a new club and owners in place I'll be a happy man.

Still half expecting an announcement saying "none of the proposals were acceptable so it's a non-starter"!

Surley if one of the bidders accepted by the RFL before are in now they have to be accepted again. But who knows
