Quote: Adeybull "Just back from the Bullbuilder board meeting, which was probably marginally more important than attending to some of the garbage earlier on this thread.

Not sure if this is aimed partly at me, but I would hope you realise from my history on this board that I'm not just out to blame and insult Mr Hood nor is it my main priority to get him out. I do believe that it is at least time for Peter to take a long look in the mirror and ask himself if he has anything to offer as chairman anymore.

The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid! If you like old type radio comedy/ dramas etc listen to //pumpkinfm.com/ Statistically speaking you have a better chance of getting dead the older you get! Thank god only when you find a religion that passes the truth test!:13554.jpg

Perhaps you should look in the mirror jumping in on Pystic Eddy's own personal vendetta!

One thing to remember, he won't be pledging just sledging!

I'm not trying to contribute to any personal vendetta.

Sorry if it's come across that way, just feel this time (even if he goes about it the wrong way) Eddie has a point.

ATEOTD were all shocked, sad and angry and who can we blame? We've seen Potter take the blame for the team at the forums as its his job to manage them. It's peter hoods job to manage the bulls as a company, admittedly all the facts aren't out but it doesn't look like he's done a great job atm.

Like a lot of others you have not looked or listened with regards to the Bulls fiscal plight, it has been ongoing since Caisley overspending big time, dropped the Club right in it with Harrisgate, caused the Club to be done for SC breaches after he stepped down.
Peter Hood has done a hell of a lot work behind the scenes since he took over to keep the Club going, if he hadn't we would have been looking at this scenario 5 years ago,
Because of the economic downturn the Bulls coped a two pronged fiscal attack, starting with the HMRC wanting their monies a lot sooner than later (This because of the fiscal pressure the Treasury is under mainly thanks to the Blair/Brown years of ruinous Government) the Bank being asked to extend the overdraught to cover this in the short term said no( because of no security now the lease had been transferred to the RFL but that isn't the full story)
The main thing is if you want the Club to continue you have to put up the cash

Quote: Blotto "Like a lot of others you have not looked or listened with regards to the Bulls fiscal plight,'"


Throwing about accusations now. I have looked and listened, and acknowledged the views of others (Adeybull being one).


Quote: Blotto " it has been ongoing since Caisley overspending big time, dropped the Club right in it with Harrisgate, caused the Club to be done for SC breaches after he stepped down.'"


I know. Where have I been defending CC? I have said I'd have more confidence in him than Hood, but that's only been after recent events.


Quote: Blotto "Peter Hood has done a hell of a lot work behind the scenes since he took over to keep the Club going,'"


I know. I've defended him in the past. I'm still acknowledging on this thread and others that he has put time and effort into the club. But the fact he's put time and effort into it doesn't prove he's the best man for the job nor does it give him unlimited time at the top.

Quote: Blotto " if he hadn't we would have been looking at this scenario 5 years ago, '"


If you're going to come on here ripping me apart when all i've tried to do is put my own money and effort into the club the past 2 days then at least post facts not assumptions.

I know. Can't see the relevance to this post. We've been hard done to. It's not all Peter Hood's fault.


Quote: Blotto "The main thing is if you want the Club to continue you have to put up the cash'"


Have you not read any of my other posts? All i've been trying to do is get others to put their hard earned into the club. I've given up my holiday fund, given more than I can probably afford to the cause. I'm a student and there are plenty of other things I could do with both my time and money but both are going into the pledge atm.

I have put up the cash, sounds like you have too. Now maybe instead of having a go at me, try encourage others who haven't already pledged, or get involved in some fundraising. Not saying you haven't already, as I don't like coming on here making assumptions about people who in a way are very similar to me. We all love the Bulls.

Great quote that - who told you that one?

Of course I am the only one to have a pop at Hood aren't I? People like you really do make yourselves look really silly sometimes.

You have STILL not answered my question! Best do it soon or any little credibility you have left will disappear.

Quote: Adeybull "rlThisrl is what we concluded, after several hours of considered debate and deliberation.'"



I think that's a very fair statement.

www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/s ... of_family/

It will be interesting to see who these people are and what happens next. I've always been of the view that the club hasn't been for sale despite all the requests for investment etc. I'm still of the view that were the 500k reached somehow, these 'talks' wouldn't lead anywhere as there would be no immediate requirement to sell. Right now if the board has stood guarantor on debts/overdraft they have a pistol to their head. Take that pistol away and what happens? It's a game of brinksmanship really, Hood cannot go into administration, but nor will he want to give the club away and relinquish control.

First thing we must do is SAVE THE CLUB by all pledging otherwise end of any meaning other full discussions. Lets all pull together to achieve this for the moment.

Agreed, but if this member is going to make claims about people then he should have the balls to back it up don't you think? Rather than avoiding the issue.

Especially when he is the first to demand explanations and answers.
