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:

If it was a few blokes arguing about the past and going off topic it'd be rubbish. Thank God that's not the case.'"
In fairness it is not as if this board is overburdened by activity these days. It may well be perceived as "rubbish" but it is better than the nothingness elsewhere on here.

| I there's merit in having some sort of thread exclusively for that purpose, it will always be open to argue about McBanana/McNamara, Hood/Khan/Whicu*t, Iestyn Harris, and Uncle Tom Cobleigh.
We can then discuss rugby union in all it's glory on a separate thread.

| Interesting that we mention the low level of traffic on here.
I should point out that I have been told by people that they have drifted away from this forum because, in their view, threads were being derailed by the same people squabbling so often that they'd rather post elsewhere or not at all.
Perhaps that reflects badly on us moderators but it reflects a darn sight worse on the people doing the squabbling.

Ah well. Up until the last month or so I had not posted on here a great deal for some time. Did the squabbling all stop then?

Yes. Since only you squabbles.

| Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "I have no clue what you're on about though. WHAT "misinformation"? What did they say about "the costs" and how do you know it was "misinformation"? What is the point you are making about Harrisgate? That the costs were much less? Much higher? This cryptic stuff is almost in ME stylee.
Er, wasn't it the RFL that provided that information? It was hardly unattributable leaks, then?
How do you know there were no "vultures" circling? (If you claim there weren't? Do You?) I know for a fact of one party who had paid a lot of money for a commercial valuation of the Odsal site. An odd thing to do if purely random?
I think a conspiracy theory such as this is silly. Like many conspiracy theories. I don't doubt that organisations very frequently use spin-doctors, hangers-on and chancers to spin their cause, of course they do, but your proposition assumes that "they" knew they were "presiding over a disaster" yet wanted to make it look as if they weren't? Have I got that right?
Why? Why would they do that? What would it achieve? Who would care?
And no disrespect to RAB, but of all the things on the mind of a person knowingly presiding over a disaster and wanting for some reason to distract the support base, trying to do so by placing anonymous lengthy posts in a medium where anything over 20 words is hardly read by more than a dozen people sounds a pretty fruit and nut method of choice to me.
What of all the thousands who supported the Pledge, and the fundraising and the rest? Were they all part of the conspiracy too?
Finally, what is it you claim I am dismissing? I would think I might be the only poster on here who has consistently supported Omar Khan and his efforts to have an open investigation into why the club, i.e. the old company, went tits.'"
In order;
1,The amounts and emphasis placed upon them, were much higher than the actual amount,
2, An employee of the club (if Bullseye is OK, I'll name him) sought out Bulls supporters and posters on RAB and the T and A website to spread information that he wasn't prepared to stand behind (most likely because it wasn't true),
3, A poster (if Bullseye is OK I'll name him was demonstrated to be an agent of the above.
4, They did it to create a narrative which explained their failure so they weren't held to account and drummed out of the club. See your thread about Steve McNamara.
5, You're dismissing the significance of the above in the current state of the club.

| The reason we're where we are is because of the past (is that a quote?) Really looking forward to the great threads/posts on anything really from any/all of the above.

1. You are plaiting fog. If you would state what amounts were wrongly stated and what the true amounts were then it would be possible to comment. As it stands it's just a generalized claim so vague as to be pointless.
2 / 3 So what if? Many, many people spread information "that they have heard" from "people they know" on such forums, all the time, everywhere. All organisations spin, and put out spin. Why would any of that, if true, surprise you? "Demonstrated"? Who? How was it "demonstrated"? As for "an agent ...." - you've been reading too much Le Carre.
4. Who are "they", what was their "narrative", and exactly how did having "agents" on RAB and the T&A (I'm crying here!) "explain their failure"? If as your theory assumes they were not "drummed out of the club" - who are they?
5. I have not in recent times made any comments about the "significance" of any of the above as so far as I recall, no sensible post or thread has been running about any such topics for many months now, so I can't make sense of your odd accusation. Can we start with you telling us what you mean by "the current state of the club". Then you could explain how comments made on RAB have ANY "significance" in changing the "state of the club"? As a relevant factor, how does it compare with, say, having the money to pay your tax bill?

Given that you seem to struggle understanding the meaning of the term "World Champions" it was probs be futile for Rarebreed to try and explain because I am not entirely sure that you would get it anyway.

| Is it just me or does this thread seem to be drifting, aimlessly and inexorably, towards its natural end?
Y'know, like that last bubble in the bathwater, going ever more quickly, round and round the plughole awaiting its turn for the drop. As said above, there's little other entertainment right now, but even that sad fact is providing little solace.

It would be futile to ask, as the post was not by Rarebreed but by M@islebugs.
