| Touche but there is a difference between realpolitik and actually agreeing with them

| There is. And there's also a difference between agreeing with someone and denouncing them as a genocidal maniac which, in the case of Gadaffi, is the drum Galloway banged for years.
Anyhoo, that's enough of that.
If Galloway the camera magnet has means of helping then we would do well to let him.

| Whilst I am certainly no apologist for George Galloway I do think we need to stop the projections re his connections abroad and consider just who he may be able to influence here in Bradford.
A large proportion of the wealth in this City is held by Asian business people ( many of whom bankrolled GG's Bfd West campaign), if GG can persuade Akhbar's, Mumtaz, Aagrah, Dilbag Cloth House etc, etc, etc, etc, etc....to engage with the Bulls on a financial basis this COULD work on so many levelsBASSRA Solicitors had advertising hoardings on Friday,and a prominent ad on the website, both of which I haven't noticed before (doesn't mean definitely wasn't there though!).
Whether people like it or not Bradford is fast becoming an Asian City and we would be foolish not to tap into this demographic to ensure our long-term survival.
If GG can help facilitate this...........

Exactly .... if Galloway's ambition is to run Bradford he will need the support of a cross section of people.
Let's face it, if Respect is to do anything it will have to start here in Bradford and all the other MP's are too busy scratching other people's backs and trying to make a name for themselves in London town to be bothered by events affecting their consitutents.
Galloway's not stupid - he knows an opportunity when it arises and he could prove very very useful.
Whatever you think of him - he's a great publicist, an engaging speaker and attracts people to causes.

| Galloway certainly has a knack of appearing at the right time doesn't he?
I'm no fan of his at all, but as has been eluded to, if he can pull on the strings of the wealthy Asian community to perhaps invest (and perhaps increase the fan base at the same time), maybe it could be a useful bit of PR from GG.
Or is that just pie in the sky thinking?

Makes you wonder if he's ever met Caisley.

| Are you people seriously talking about a George Galloway takeover/investment of the Bulls?
No wonder other teams fans call us the gulla-bulls!!!

I fear that one went past most people a bit quick on that last bend. I thought it was clever, anyway!

| going off subject a bit but has anyone got a true idea of how all this affects us regarding our super league licence and if we do go into administration are we guaranteed to lose it?

| If we go into administration and no credible plan emerges, it is academic anyway.
If we go into administration, and a plan emerges that enables a new club to rise, but unable to fund operating at SL level and so has to start in the lower leagues, then it is academic anyway.
If a plan emerges that IS properly financed, and if the new owner is deemed a fit and proper person by the RFL to run a SL club, then the RFL will have to come up with a very good reason to backtrack on their stated position that insolvency will be judged very seriously in future. Lap of the Gods there?
I'd prefer to stay out of Administration at all costs, so we never have to put it to the test.
