Indeed. I don't feel totally relaxed yet. But having Toovey in officially is still a good sign of intent, and Jas Athwal while potentially tainted with being involved during the Green regime as a non-exec director is Bradford RL through and through. Also, his role was to bring new business into the club, and that aspect of things did appear to be succeeding.

Surely you're too young to remember that?!

Bit frustrating that after starting so well. No details of any real practicalities, and essentially we haven't learnt much more than was already speculated on in the press.

Well yes, but I was ready to have my hopes dashed that that was all rumour. We have two new faces at the club who are serious professionals. Under any other circumstances that would be considered seriously good news. Guess we've got a way to go before anything seems genuinely positive, and without a benefactor it will still feel terribly flaky.

From the what i caught on Calendar News live feed, it sounded a bit Greenesque when asked about the economics etc. it was stated that would be down to the stakeholders particularly the fans to buy season tickets, shirts etc. I wish you well in your new guise, but I can't help feeling something isn't quite right especially with the lack of much firm information when given the opportunity.

I can already hear the young lads with the drum...

"TOOVEYYYY TOOVEYYY TOOVEYYY"

I am born in 1995. But my grandad and uncles all said there was something about the appointment of Brian which brought a sense of excitement in the air. The same excitement that I have over the Toovey announcement. In my eyes Toovey is a bigger catch than Rohan, Lowes, Cummins, Potter, McNamara and I dare say even Noble (he wasn't a proven coach at the time).

tea lady not even mentioned. if not re-signed then hopefully the replacement arives in time for a bit of a pre-season otherwise Odsal on a wet February afternnon is a big ask for a big urn.

Within the briefest of time available,I would expect only football matters to be focused on, this the priority.Once feet under the table, other areas can be attended to and more information released as the rebuild commences.

As much as it's a little irritating to not find out some of the players, it's going to be a maxium of 49 more hours before we find out at least 12 of them (when they run out on to the pitch at the John Smith's).

..Not worried about the wait ...surely not!

Good to see evidence of the merciless forensic questioning of the panel from the RL jounro intelligentsia....not

Were they primed not to be 'difficult'..

Can you imagine Toovey signing if he wasn't given any assurances of player recruitment and felt totally satisfied with the intent of the new owners.
He probably has more knowledge right now of the immediate plans and they must have satisfied him. He must know something we clearly don't that takes him from Sydney to sunny Bradford. I expected an aging out of work Ausie looking for a couple of years sight seeing in Europe with a bit of coaching to keep him amused.
WOW! look who we have got.
That gives me much encouragement.
Lets get a dozen senior players signed quickly.
It is then up to the coach to train and motivate them properly.
Still sorry to see Rohan go but it does feel like we have a good replacement.
The signings in the next few days could see a massive surge in optimism and ticket sales.

I need to call to sort my season paid the deposit I haven't seen any payments come out do I just ring them??
