Maybe, maybe not. And he should do.

However I don't recall him telling lie after lie after lie during his tenure. I accept he caused some problems that Hood inherited, but the "captain" has not exactly dealt with the situation very well at all now has he?

Wakefield fans reached the same conclusion about Ted Richardson last January.

Unfortunately from the CLUB's perspective, the only way a change of management can come about in the current situation is through the BUSINESS entering Administration.

Yes, there's still time for a benefactor to come forward before the deadline but you need to ask yourselves how good their business acumen really is if they would rather cover all the current liabilities when they could give the CLUB a clean slate if Administrators were appointed.

As I've said on other posts, I don't like seeing the Bulls in this situation but the reality is that there is only one way to give the CLUB the sound footing it needs to have a strong future. As the saying goes "Short term pain for long term gain".

It is a situation that should be forced. The RL should not allow people like Hood to run a club. He is bringing the game into disrepute.

Sadly though, the likely outcome will be that we hold a fans forum, people will go along to have their say and come back fooled by another Churchillian speech by Medley and all will be well.

I'd be happier with Duckett in charge.

I wonder if it's telling that Ryan has been the one in the media. Hood has been conspicous by his absence. Could anything be read into that?

I asked that question yesterday.

Hood either doesn't want to be in the firing line or there may be changes happening.

Not the majority shareholder anymore - he is the chap Adey referred to in his post on page 1 as having been bought out by Hood.

Oh right, OK. Back over to you then Mr Hood.

dont think thats actually correct. if Hood had bought Caisleys shares then he'd hold 30+%. He only has 22%. Think Hood actually bought Colin Tordoffs share holding though im not 100% sure.

I might have remembered it wrong and if so apologies, but pretty sure that Hood now owns about 16,500 of about 17,000 (give or take, can't remember the exact numbers).

I think there are only about half a dozen shareholders in total now.

there are approx 1000 shareholders. Some only have 2 or 3 shares,some have a significant number but percentage wise caisley is 27%,hood 22%. Think those two are the biggest by some margin. thats why its so difficult attracting anyone to buy the club. they have to deal with several of larger shareholders to get a majority shareholding.

Ah, what I'd been given wasn't directly from Co's House, it was through an Equifax equivalent and that's not taken into account the bulk shareholders list which wasn't with the filed annual return Should've checked before putting that up, what a dork!

It is interesting that both Hood and Caisley will stand to lose a significant amount if the club goes into administration.

I'm not sure where Hood has made his millions but Mr Caisley will have a bob or 2 to spend.

I'm sure between them, they could raise 50-100k.

If we don't make the total, they stand to lose everything currently invested.

Just back from the Bullbuilder board meeting, which was probably marginally more important than attending to some of the garbage earlier on this thread.

Hood bought most of Colin Tordoff's shares, and now holds around 20%. Caisley is still the largest shareholder with over 27% IIRC, and is the most powerful shareholder since his vote can block a Special Resolution.

Google NAK Corporate World for Peter Hood's business.

Thanks for that, Adey. What else was discussed?
