Indeed. Anyone who thinks Khan et al or the 'Hokey Cokey directors' were competent to run a SL club should consider carefully the appointment of RHP as an 'acting CEO' / CEO.

Why would experienced professional business people think an ex player with about a year working as a business development manager and PR nice guy could run a club with a track record of serious financial problems?

RHP has always been very personable whenever I have seen him and appears keen. One day he may be a capable CEO. I can see nothing in his skillset that would make him right for the current Bulls CEO job. Yet Khan, Moore et al , no doubt after a rigorous professional selection process, opted for RHP.

Yes.

more to do with the number who don't add any really information, ask any real questions or just generally are sat at home laughing that Bradford are most likely done for, which for a sport that in my eyes is struggling in this country is extremely sad and pathetic.

Fair enough blame and bash the directors and managers at the club but not bradford bulls or its fans or players hardly anything they could have done about it, the majority are good people who know this is not the end and possibly more clubs may follow (you never know), but he 1% of d1cks who have got nowt to do but rub salt into the wound are the scum the adey is most likely reffering to, that bout sum it up for you sonny jim?

and the number of "new" RFLfans members is stagering since this news broke all with less than 30 post each have either been waiting for this or most likely are alternate accounts of the scum and filth that inhabit most of the clubs who are rubbing their hands.

No, I said a "prize".

Ohhhhhh. Foam finger.

At least you are keeping your sense of humour although I'm not sure how.

Well this non-Bulls fan wishes you all the best. I'm sure there's plenty of blame to go around but it won't change the fact that you are in this position which is horrible for you fans, the players, and the staff.

I hope you get it resolved soon.

I think if one person actually put in grand as capital it might be more than most of our recent owners?

The problem is the £200k from your suggestion would just pay the wages for a month - to pull clear of the current mess and see the season out maybe £1m capital required.

Are you the bulls accountant??

would that scheme not raise £2,000,000 ?

don't apply for the job of finance director....he said 2000 people at £1k each...that's £2m......joking .....

Out of curiosity - how much did the Harris saga cost you guys ?
How much of a factor in your current situation was it?

To be fair, we're well versed in only seeing half the money.

Dependant on who you speak to it was anywhere between a packet of rolos and curly wurly.

Its all very strange this. I thought the takeover had been completed at the end of January so how can the bidders withdraw their "offer" over 3 weeks later?

What has happened is not the fault of the RFL.

Its not the fault of the Bradford players or fans either.

It is the fault of pretty much everyone who has been involved in the management and ownership of the Bulls for most of the last decade.

However surely the big question is not what has gone wrong but what can be done to put it right?

The 2012 sympathy for the plight of the Bulls from other clubs and their fans is clearly not there now. You've had financial help from the RFL too in the purchase of Odsal.

At one point wasn't it proposed that Super League would buy and operate the Bulls? That appears to be a non-starter now.

The only hope appears to be a new buyer who either has or can raise some cash and has a sustainable business plan. If such a person comes forward he then needs the fans to get down to Odsal and get some money flowing through the turnstiles.

A way needs to be found to fulfil the fixtures and get to the end of the season. If relegation happens (and I'm not sure it will because I think you're still better than London and Wakey even with the points deduction) then so be it as I'm sure it would only be temporary. Surely its got to be better than going out of business altogether?
