Quick question, apologies if it's been answered elsewhere as I don't have time to trawl through literally 100's of posts on various threads...

We know that Thorne bought the Bradford Bulls name, logo, branding, intellectual property rights etc etc.

What happened to the rights to the Bradford Northern name, logo, intellectual property rights etc when we switched to being called Bradford Bulls - who owns them?

Unfortunately I have only ever known them as Bulls, I came on board during Bullmania and don't know much about the Northern days.

If I were Rohan I would be on the Blower to Scott Moore lining him up for when a deal is done..
Should the three listed leave we would be struggling just down to shear numbers of playing staff.

We already know that there has been a meeting with one potential owner, I would have thought the coaching staff have been intouch with any potential owner all the way through the process letting them know what they need staff wise.
If a potential owner hasn't done this they are no good as they should want to know what they are buying and try and protect that investment / make it a success from the word go.

With regards to loans Hull FC have already pledged a helping hand, and I would have thought uncle Tony would too.

One point though, when the new Bradford RL team gets the green light its a new company with unknown finance i'm not saying we will be signing NRL first teamers, but we should be able to bring some new blood in at championship level to survive.
Then next year a clean slate a few more signings and we re off again, if we get a 12 point deduction and survive I would take this as a victory that should further galvanise the squad.

what time is KO Sunday?

The guy is a total tool but beggars can't be choosers and we do need a hooker. Lumb can't do 80 minutes and Halafihi is rubbish. As a short term thing, as much as I hate myself for saying it, Moore is a good option.




I believe Cas also said they would be willing to loan players in their statement about not being vultures for our staff.

Moss has a British passport so there would be no issue of a visa.

I don't think it is all Doom and Gloom at all it is a "new dawn" to coin a phrase.

If someone did a Marc Green and didn't do a thing to improve our situation like our last and most depressing season in Super League not only would my optimism be done, I would have a bit of time off from been a Bradford fan, probably start stamp collecting or bird watching.

Who is Andy Agar? Involved in Lamb bid any relation to Rowland?

That Agar guy comes across as Lamb Junior. Please no.

Positive considering the t and a this morning?

Everyone have faith

A quick question - why do so many people on here apparently have such a downer on Richard Lamb?

His only previous negative (that I can see) was that he didn't have an immediate £1m to hand in the last administration at a time when, with the benefit of hindsight, it looks like the process was fitted up for Marc Green anyway. And besides, weren't there complications over a bank holiday or something...

But in his favour:
- He has been consistently vocal and passionate about helping to run the Bulls, to the point of having said that he's happy to work with others and doesn't want to be a dictator
- He actively advocates fan involvement in running the club. Yes, this is complicated but surely the sentiment is great?
- He's got experience in apparently running a rugby club reasonably well at Rotherham.

Against
- He's not a sugar daddy, but then he's never claimed to be
- He seems to believe Gledhill is credible

Now, I accept that this last point is deeply troubling, but other than that, I just don't get the animosity towards him..

Dragons would be subject to French visa rules.

I do not know about the Crusaders several years ago, I thought they were in admin not liquidated. In recent years there have been changes in the UK re visas. The Govt want legitimate Uk companies to go through formal procedures before they start bringing in people from outside the EU. This takes time, it is not instant.

Lets hope with fingers and toes crossed that the RFL do a proper job this time and find the right man,
Green had the administrator by the short and curlies last time, when he got the club by default it was a dark dark day.

Its not really rocket science on the RFL's side this time choose the man with the most cash, who is most willing to invest.
The deal doesn't have to go through an administrator and the creditors don't have a say.

Fan involvement or not Lamb and Irvine are still going to have to invest heavily to buy the fans confidence and get the ball rolling.

I do feel the same. But suppose if he does get the club, then his was the best bid for the club rather than the previous lot with Khan & Green getting it almost by default from administration. One thing that does fill me with confidence if he does get it, is Damian Irvine. He's been through all this with Cronulla. Seems to be doing a damn fine job at Wycombe too.

The RFL have to get this one right as it is all on them this time and they probably know this. Hence the criteria they have set which i am certain Green nor Khan would have had to meet.
