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...........

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?

I see someones got a new acting role www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/s ... ulls_boss/ Though I'm not quite sure what type of character he's supposed to be or not to be!

Makes you wonder if he's ever met Caisley.

To be fair most people can see right through him.

i think galloways terrorist/dictator mates in the middle east have more to worry about than bradford bulls. hes a politician ofcourse hes going to use our problems to meet his own agenda i dont trust him as far as i could throw him.
Thanks but no thanks gorgeous!!!

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.

Yup!

Don't be so silly ....

Hasn't Duckett already stated that there is a plan once the debt/cash-flow issue is resolved ? In fact isn't that the basis for taking your money via the pledge ?

It would be a no-brainer for the RFL. Have a functioning Bulls in SL or not considering the money generated by a functioning Bulls for a) the competition and b) other clubs.
