A good businessman is generally one with a couple of bankruptcies behind him.
Let's go into this without pre judgment.
I reckon he's just a front man for a well known stinking rich backer.

Very bitter post from a man `in the know` who at the end of the day................wasn`t.


Chalmers wasn`t head of NZ RL without reason. Over here he will have monetary support and the result will be good for the Bulls (2017).

My only gripe would be the club should be in C1 as the HMRC will now be watching EVERY club to ensure Tax payments are made on time.

This decision is solely down to the RFL, so if it turns out to be as big a disaster as you seem to think, they're going to look pretty stupid aren't they?
Let's just wait and see what happens next week. That press conference will soon turn sour if part time rugby is on the cards.

Charmers was the RFL'S preferred bidder preliquidation. Their statement said that, should the bid be accepted, then the Bulls have an exciting future ahead of them. Are you sure that future is part time rugby?

Think OP is lost. In the words of Delboy 'you don't live here anymore!'. Cas forums thataway>>

And the problem with that is?

Correct payment should be made on time. Saves a lot of hassle

The mod that deleted the bit in the original may want to delete the bits where people have quoted it too.

Done pal!

In all seriousness, have you still not learnt the lesson? Full-time rugby is not sustainable for your club. This is a perfect opportunity to go part time and build the infrastructure/finances of the club, instead of spending money on a full-time team that won't make the middle eights due to the points deduction.

How on earth do you know what structures and funds the new owners have available? If they have proved its sustainable to go full time no issues for me. No one knows until they reveal themselves properly and their plans are, they might want to go part time! So until they reveal which direction they want to go I reckon fans of other clubs (especially ones with vile hatred) should stick their opinions of what the owners should or shouldnt be doing up where the sun dont shine and shove off

Well put.

True. I cant see the club being P/T really. I am upbeat. There is new hope with the new club. Drawing from the Administrators report the last management of the Bulls was woeful even pitiful. I, probably like many, can look forward to the new owners finding players and making announcements that will bring a healthy, successful club to the city.

Bulls supporters are not quitters, No it wont be easy but its all now quite exiting. I am glad and happy the haters are disappointed

We're not the ones making that call. The majority of Bradford fans wanted to restart in c1 on zero points, the ft or pt then would be down to the new owners resources.

We won't make the middle 8s, but if the new owner wants to fund a ft team that is the most likely way to avoid relegation. Either way, as has been made abundantly clear over the past 6 years or so there is pretty much feck all we can do as fans other than voice our opinion and support the players wearing the shirt.

Well, this group who've taken over the Bulls are the hand picked of the RFL.

The RFL said that which ever bid was successful, they would have to provide plans and funding to ensure 3 years of rugby at Bradford.

However, several players are still unhappy that they know no more than the general public and are still officially unemployed.

You'd think the RFL would have more concern over player welfare than is currently been shown. Especially if this whole endeavour goes tits up as the RFL will be left holding the bag with more than egg on their face
