Article in T and A said Grant but on Bulls website Grant was never mentioned.

This thread has got me completely baffled, so I tried to compare the info that AC posted in the T and A with the list of contract end dates on this board.
He lists the 14 players contracted for next year, although one of them (DFJ) has a contract end date of 2019. I assume AC has the correct info (what with being the club owner and all!).
There are 5 other players listed as having contracts that don't end until next year, 14 players out of contract:
Rickets
Grant
Oakes
Evans
Hallas
Flanagan
Kirk
Peltier
Magrin
Milton
Wood
Gallagher
Cobi Green
Roche

Roche has finished his loan and, presumably, returned to the Giants. Milton has been widely reported to have left the game. Magrin and Green have spent periods out on loan and seem to have drifted away. There is a certain amount of confusion regarding the situations of Wood and Grant.
So who are the 9 that we are hoping to resign from this list?
You would assume that Oakes, Evans, Hallas, Kirk and Peltier are shoe ins? Possibly Flanagan. That leaves Rickets and Gallagher as "maybes". Which is 8 in total. Possibly the 9 includes a couple of new signings?
Either way, we need to come out of Special Measures asap.
All the above is merely my interpretation, happy to be corrected if it clarifies things.

Small point of order: York didn't use DR in 2019.

Lurking mate. Always watching...

Hope you're well!

Has anyone actually got any rumours to post just to make things even slightly interesting.
At this time of year we are usually linked with loads of players but at the minute there seems to be absolutely nothing.

It’ll be depressing. All we'll have at the moment are people we’ve missed out on...

We need props. I’m fairly sure we’ll have at least had a chat with Annakin (sp?) but missed out.

And that's why we're in special measures. There's no reason for it other than to ensure that the Bulls in 2020 are weaker than 2019

I saw Keal Carlisle's name being mentioned somewhere

Would he count on our home grown quota? I'm pretty sure he came through our academy

No, it's because you reached (or possibly exceeded) your spending limit and they haven't been lifted as the club has submitted a fantasy budget for next season.

just out of curiosity how many bradford fans spend as much time on other teams pages as their fans do on ours? amuses me how many crawl out of woodwork with helpful opinions!

I think Annakin and Addy (not everyones cup of tea I know) would have been good additions for us.Im not sure whether we ever had a chance or whether the special measures ruled us out.
