Great

Why would anyone want this to happen? Or think this is for the good of the club?

Can Chris Caisley force out the current regime, is it possible?

Without administration the chairman will be either Hood or Caisley with Agar's shares effectively making him "kingmaker".
The fans won't get a say.

So the choices are between Caisley - who was the chairman at a time of unparalled success then made a couple of huge errors which brought about the decline we are in - or - Hood, who has been unable to get us out of the decline.

Or, to put it another way - the guy who got us into this mess or the one who can't get us out.

Neither party has put any sort of inspiring medium term plan in the public domain.

I still don't think Caisley would take administration as a risk free option though. He would be going into it as the largest shareholder and probably chairman. He would come out of it as either a majority sharholder of a newco or as an ex-chairman and ex-shareholder of a newco which was taken over by an alternative bidder that the administrators preferred.

Let's hope that someone's unspecified medium term plan actually works.

Lets all hope if CC does take control of OUR club that he's learnt from past mistakes

Wonder what hetherington thinks about his old sparring partner maybe comming out of retirement?

On wether caisley has learnt from his past mistakes, he seems to be making a whole new set of enemies!

If he does come back into the fold where does this leave potter? I mean he's not going to be too enamered with nobby being over him again!

Well I've held on to my pledge up to now. This does nothing to convince me to honour it. It looks like if I pay it we are likely to go into administration anyhow.

To be honest, I'm not really sure what to do. Is anyone else in this position?

If every one thought like you the Club would be dammed to administration, the whole point of the pledge is ensure that hopefully won't happen, never mind the politcal b@llax thats been spouted on here and elsewhere, if your a Bulls fan pay the Pledge

I understand what you're saying, and I thought long and hard before pledging. I agree, you could part with X amount of cash to keep the club going through April. Then what? the BoD can't find any way to keep going and it folds.
At least you can hold your head up and say "I did every thing I could to keep the Bulls alive"
Truthfully I'm really worried about our future existense, and it is vital we keep as many of our young players as possible, they are our future.
For me administration is the worst possible scenario

I kinda understand your stance, although I have actually paid my money

In fact, I paid the next day after the pledge was called in, because I had a sense that if I didn't I might get 'cold feet'. As things have turned out, the utter and appalling lack of ANY kind of proper communication from the club would probably have meant that I'd have ended up holding onto my money

The Bullbuilder statement correctly spoke about how the supporters have 'the moral right' to answers. But we simply haven't had any yet.

So, on one level I'm glad I paid up - because like Steam Pig, I feel I have at least done my part if things go pear shaped. But on the other hand I'm annoyed and frustrated that someone has taken my money without offering even a modicum of information or answers in return.

I don't think that there's a problem if people haven't pledged, for whatever reason.

But if you pledged, you should pay.

I agree. All I am saying is that I am not comfortable with the continuing lack of information, and the possibility that it will go into a black hole with administration still a possibility.

I understand where you are coming from but you should have thought about it a bit more before you pledged, have courage and pay you will feel better for it. icon_cheers.gif

I paid because I felt it important to show the outside world what big club we are and how with the right investment and management we are as big as any club in Super League. I also agreed with the Bullbuilder statement which connected the payment of the pledge to what you refer to as the 'moral right' to hold the board accountable. Hence, the pledge is both a means to secure the future of the club but it is also a watershed.
