Don't tell me he doesn't have agents in the UK, and he's not the only name on the list anyway. Good god, someone who didn't even get the club managed to arrange a meeting with the players. Not good enough, imo.

| There's a lot in that that pretty much sums up how the majority of Bradford fans feel IMO.
Whoever is taking over the Bulls needs to understand that you've got a fanbase who are alienated, irritated, and all in all just sick of the whole dog and pony show that's gone on for the last 10 years. The new owners need to engage with the fans like never before. Fan forums are just the tip of the iceberg. The club needs massive transparency in order to assuage fans that this time the club will NOT fail. They also need to be PRO-ACTIVE rather than REACTIVE when it comes to bad news and get their side out first before it hits the public domain and the metaphorical fan.
There's a lot of work to be done to heal the wounds, raise the club's stock and bring back the trust of the fans. The toxic past with it's broken promises and outright lies will not soon be forgotten.

He's also kidding himself if he thinks we'll ever get weekly Q&A sessions, even the SL sides don't get that.'"
Moving out of Odsal would be the beginning of the end. The rent for VP would be astronomical not to mention limited amount of income from the stadium.
Horsfall is no.where bear big enough. Crowds would dwindle even further.

| Not seen an 'official', but the word is that he's gone to Widnes.

| Chalmers representatives has had meetings with high earning players today. Player A previously on £70,000 under Green now being offered £30,000. Sounds like Chalmers has his realistic head on. No player should be on anyway near £70,000.

3500 capacity. Not a great deal beyond the crowds we get now

But once we're out of Odsal we're out. Hoe would we sell bigger games in the future for the middle 8's etc
Moving to Horsfall is just short sighted.

Matt Orford should be.

The only two players left that could refer to would be Pryce and Chisholm, I would guess
It sounds like Chisholm is off anyway. Pryce will probably either take what's on offer or retire.

Hardly future proofing though is it?
To be fair, it might be alright for this season as I'd guess crowds are likely to be down, especially as any losing runs kick in. My objection is really that it sends out the wrong message and seems to give out an acceptance that we're not going to be any better.
Much as I confess to being pretty despondent about chances this year, I'd like to think management are looking slightly further down the line.

Chisholm has offers from two Super League clubs but nothing signed yet. The problem Chalmers has is crowds will be down to 2500 after all the discontent, losing run early doors and points deduction. He has to honour the 1000 season tickets already sold by Green and only gets£15,000 central funding. Players will have to be realistic as to what they would be paid at other Championship clubs otherwise the club will be calling the administrators again.

| Horsfall would be perfect for this coming with the low.crowds that are likely to turn up to watch a losing side. Only problem would be the visits of Halifax and Hull KR. It would also help to cut costs.
