| How are a new club with no ties to the old at all, which no longer exists, still going to be hamstrung by the poor decisions of previous management?
It makes no sense.

Yeah 3 games v KR, plenty against opposition we struggled against last year ... Already 12 points behind ... It'll be a piece of ...

Quote: I would love the opportunity to continue on if the new owners and the new management and I have the same beliefs and can work together, "Head coach Rohan Smith, who joined Bradford on a three-year contract last May, and the entire playing staff were among those made redundant.
But the Australian said he and many of the players would be willing to stay on under new owners to try to revive the club's fortunes.
"I would love the opportunity to continue on if the new owners and the new management and I have the same beliefs and can work together," said Smith.
"I imagine the vast majority of players would want to stay. Many have told me today they are not interested in going anywhere else."'"
Some good news at least

Scenario 1
I agree with all of the above but - There is a 3rd and very possible scenario. Take a year out and reform the club starting in Championship one in 2018. Same route as Toronto with no strings.
I hope it works out for you and would love to see you back where you belong in the not too distant future.

It screams of them not saying what they think while employed by the club. Now they are free to say what they want.

That would be a third scenario except in that situation, another club would still need to come into the Championship (due to the Summer Bash, there MUST be an even number of teams), so would still mean a Champ 1 side being put at a massive disadvantage and in a worse position than they currently are IMO.
If not for that reason, I think your Scenario 3 would probably be the best one for Bradford RL. Sadly, it doesn't appear to be on the table.

Get LEIGH outta wigan: |

| Being the untrusting & cynical person that I am, and it is lamb & Irvine that get control of the club, then I would be asking Irvine to hand that 500k to the rfl and they can give it back in lump sums when it wanted.
I think Beaumont did something similar at Leigh.

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:

Ah well. Duffy out at last.

| From what I've heard Irvine and Lamb both talk sense and unlike some, I really appreciate their interest in running Bradford. For me there's just one issue...money. We've been here too many times. As far as I'm concerned it's either someone with the funds to take the club forward or nothing. I'm not prepared to go through this again.

Well so far, he has been all mouth. Let's see if this time is any different.
