Fair enough but obviously that's a non starter for this current season as I said earlier.

To run it as a supporters trust of whatever flavour, you would need a set of people who were rich in spare time, rich in business experience, short of a life, and able and willing to sacrifice 40-50 hours a week permanently, for nothing, to run what is a multi-million pound turnover business.

A bit like the Board we just sacked, then.

I would imagine the odds of finding such a cadre of volunteers able and willing to set this up and run it are probably as long, if not longer, than the odds of finding a sugar daddy.

I also fail to see how a bunch of well meaning amateurs, even if by some miracle they were to step forward, would be able to solve the funding shortfall which we are given to understand is maybe £1m - £2m a year. Or maybe they would coincidentally be the world's financial geniuses too? Anyway, to me, some sort of volunteers supporters trust trying to run an operation like this is just pie in the sky, it can't happen.

I await some bright spark coming on here to point out that FC Barcelona are a Supporters Trust

I think most of us will be more than happy just to see the team complete the rest of this season!

But I think going forward we would all like a club with the firmest foundations possible and equally - assuming we are still in the higher leagues professional management - neither a supporters trust or interferring shareholders

if the bulls reform as a new name do you think we could be called the bradford northern bulls?

Exactly

Also "Super League bosses will allow Bradford Bulls to finish the season as a new company even if the club goes into liquidation in the coming weeks. "

How can they make that statement, when we dont even know if there will be a Newco, and the Newco will also need to fund losses for the next 12 months plus until the wage bill is cut.
