So all the talk of multi million pound bids from Reet Petit was so much bullsh*t.

Well the thing is, at the stage when he was so full of optimism, I suspect he might only have known who the interested parties were and how much they were worth etc.
I'm fairly certain he never said anything about multi million pound [ibids[/i.

You could have someone like Irvine - worth a few bob - show serious interest in the club. Petit gets all excited. Irvine then turns around and says actually mate, I only want it once it's been liquidated.

You could have the wealthiest guy in the world bidding for the club but at the end of the day you can't stop him offering only pennies to the creditors. These guys are rich for a reason - they aren't mugs.

F@ck this fu#cking bull $hit it's boring now...
If we are dead we'll sort it if we aren't we'll sort it..

Will check back in Tues night

Purely amateur behaviour on his part then. I can see Green coming back.

Ive not read the pieces only whats been put on here but as from what i have read nothing has changed.

Not seen anything mentioned about the current bid.

Rod studds idea sounds better and better now.
Better you fans run the club in a correct manner than go through this again

And in the real world...

When will Lamb get it around his head that the Bulls won't ever do anything if it is fan owned/run. There are simply not enough fans to make it successful who actually have time on their hands and cash.

Don't get me wrong, a wealthy backer with a small fan representation on the board would do the world of good, if the fans are the right people (ie, mix of good business knowledge and rugby knowledge/expertise) however this would be a small representation and not actually own the club.

Well if liquidated I assume we would have no obligation to play at Odsal and we would be a part time outfit in L1. So in that scenario it might well be possible to have a Supporter Trust model. But pro RL in Bradford would be dead and buried and it would be a long and unlikely road back given all that has happened I'm afraid.

Letting people with not enough money and no passion for the club take over would be nothing short of madness.
At least if the fans have control of the club you can decide its future

It won't happen. Studd and Richard Lamb are both dreaming if they think a club of this size can be run by a supporters trust, or even just part financed by one.
We have a core support of what, 4k?
People pushing this idea always quote Rangers as the example of it working - conveniently forgetting that their support base is at least ten times the size of ours.

Which if true (not that I'm doubting you a lot of what you have out has been spot on) would explain the fallouts if any

I'm not a fan either, but if liquidated it wouldn't be what we currently have, would it? And I doubt it would likely get to that anytime soon under supporter control unfortunately.

Well if we're liquidated and end up playing part time (or worse) in champ 1 then that's me done anyway so Lamb can do whatever the hell he wants.

Won't the main problem be the proximity of the 2017 season? The RFL can possibly negotiate a lease quickly with a new club, but all the other things have to be agreed with people like the security company, as well as the playing contracts. I can't imagine you could form a new company, arrange a supporters trust, negotiate all the player contracts and everything else required to put on a professional rugby match with 4000 paying customers in the time before the first fixture.

Good luck tomorrow.
