Who's leaving? Chris Brereton - already... administration in 5, 4, 3....

Brereton has dropped out, but the wider consortium goes on?

They're trying to sell Storton and Milnes to pay this months wages.nobody will pay big for something you might get for nothing in a few days time.

Could the last person to leave please switch off the lights. Oh, hang on, as we owe the leccy co. around £1 trillion there's probably no need.

According to Hulllive Rowan Milnes and Matty Storton to sign for Hull K.R. looks like the Bastian connection.

Aaron Bower has just made a very good point. Mark Sawyer sells these players to Hull KR. Hull KR have them as fringe players, so end up farming them out on Dual Reg to their DR partners. Their partner this year is Dewsbury. So Sawyer sells them from Bradford and ends up getting them playing for Dewsbury.

I'm not insinuating there's anything dodgy about it, but how is this not seen as a conflict of interest?

Matt Shaw reporting that KR have not only signed Milnes & Storton, but also Minchella, Keyes and a forward from the academy.

Decent fee? Nominal fee? No fee?

He suggests "for a significant undisclosed sum that will substantially help Bradford's finances". Which as I've said before, if that's what is needed, then so be it. Gutting to lose some of them, but priority has to be levelling the club's debts and then stop it losing more money.

Also says in the article that Milnes likely to be coming back to Bulls for 2020 on loan.

The total RL piece just says "completed a deal".
There are rules about compensation for academy players, so I assume that has been factored in?

Agreed. They'll be some howls of discontent as some think going through pain doesn't involve players leaving. The players may end up even coming back (how many players did Wakey sell only for them to come back a year later)

I wish them all the best.

Gutted most about Minchella if he’s one of them!

Interesting that they've held off on this announcement until AFTER the fans forums are over and done with. Try and get the fans back onside only to blindside them with our best and brightest being sold off

Here come the new owners, same as the old owners.

Well he is.

When Bradford born, raised and Bulls fans as kids are leaving like this (includes Peltier) - then it says it all for me.

Not prepared to go "oh well we need to rebuild" and all that ****

And I wonder if they are all with the same agent?

Hmmm who could that be I wonder

Throughout this episode and previous there is never any mention of player welfare, man management, comms with the players, unpaid medical bills et al.

All pushed under the carpet.

So "we are dealing with creditors" turns out to be losing some of our best players (again). Jy Hitchcox no doubt will be off too.

This club gets a numerous and loyal following - more than is deserved.

For me - the fan base loyalty is exploited over and over.

But not by me any longer.
