| I know we have been through a lot with Bulls over last few years but why is everyone assuming its lies what has come out? I was never too sure of Ryan and it seems the only 'dodgy' piece has gone.
Let's just see it as a positive until we know otherwise!

By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013
Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

The big problem is, even if we do get some sort of explanation.. How many supporters actually trust what the club tell us anymore?'"
In fairness, the fans have believed enough fabrication for some time now so the club probably reckon they can get away with anything and people will blindly follow.
That said, some of us have been saying this for years and have been condemned for saying so...

| If
Ryan signed the RFL declaration for a fit and proper person which includesIf
2 or more companies where he was a director had gone into liquidation then his statement would have been incorrect.
If there had been even more companies, lets say 4 for example, then it would look really bad for him.

Pollsters doing Excellent job - say recent polls.: |
|
| I always assumed Omar had left Ryan at the club to look after his interests.
There has to be interlocking agreements between Omar & the new directors, regardless of what the Rfl do.

13554.jpg The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid!
If you like old type radio comedy/ dramas etc listen to //pumpkinfm.com/
Statistically speaking you have a better chance of getting dead the older you get!
Thank god only when you find a religion that passes the truth test!:13554.jpg |

Your example was a bit understated

| The surprise for me is that only 2 weeks ago The RL sanctioned the new ownership arrangements. I would have thought that would mean each of the directors had been vetted and passed the fit and proper test. Apparently not.
So what has happened(or will happen) to this directors investment? As a major shareholder he must be classed as a person of influence .
On a more positive note, Solly's comments about the club's future are encouraging.... but our experience over the past 2 years has made us a little sceptical when the hierarchy speaks.

I'm no expert on these things (and the T&A article backs up what you're saying) but I'm pretty sure 2011, 2007 and 2006 are less than 10 years ago....?
rl into the equation as well

Agreed.
It wasn't long ago I was replying to one of your posts on here, discussing Whitcut's clear lies in public statements, that he then contradicted himself with (the wages issue and the business plan submission). All the things that were discussed as reasons to not trust the new board, were things Whitcut himself had said. I don't consider it a bad thing that he's been removed.
As someone said to me today, it's only right we give the rest of them the benefit of the doubt, as nobody else on the board has made any blatant lies in public statements (unless you count Robbie during the initial wages problem). It's very very difficult to put any trust in anyone at the club at the moment, even when none of the remaining board appear to have done anything wrong yet. It's up to them to build that trust back.

1, I didn't see any evidence of 'clear' or 'blatant' lies.
2, He was trying to minimise the fallout from something beyond his control, at the same time as selling the club to potential investors, sponsors (without which we are f***ed) and reassuring suppliers of all the stuff you need to run the club. What did you think he should say, "It's touch and go if I can keep the lights on"?
The players were paid within a few days and nobody died.

| Perhaps the gap between the ratification and yesterday was a handover and notice period.
