I guess we can all speculate. Shame he's gone, it really is. I wouldn't have hesitated in giving him another 3 years.
But he's gone. We've lost good men before and recovered.

| Quote: World of Redboy "This decison is a complete farce, Bradford should start next season down in NL2 and come back up that way. we don't need a mini licensing round, the Championship clubs just have a year to get everything in order to make a licence application. Super League can still carry on without them with 13 teams next year, and the year after if necessary. Why should the clubs in the Championship get their finances etc in order ready for a franchise application when a current franchise goes into administration but nothing happens to them.
'"
Awww, bless!

I think Potter made his decision months ago.
Decent man that he is, he stuck the season out for us (lesson for Mr Kopczak). I doubt anything would have kept him here once his mind was made up.

| Wouldn't say sugar daddy mate. The real sugar daddies have millions. We have hundreds of thousands at most if that tbqh. He can't put a world class team together and bankroll us :/
And I believe Potter left because OK offered him 50% wage. Hence the sudden outburst on the T and A regarding a future coach.

| The collective apoplexy of those who have wished ill on us is gathering pace, I see.
Should be good value, watching them all foaming at the mouth, going a delicate shade of bright purple as they smash their fists and heads against the nearest walls...

No, he wasn't. Just stating the fact. And making it very clear that he would love one to come along, and he would even gladly stand aside for one. Sort of the opposite of infantile and disparaging, then.

The idea is stated as to run a successful business, not to pump millions into a bottomless pit for the foreseeable. So no, I don't think it is the case at all that OKB is a sugar daddy. It's a saviour, is what it is.

been told OK has provided very substantial guarentees. As a wealthy guy backing the club's existence he is a sugar daddy ( Oh yes he is...)
Imperative that he gets a CEO and Head coach with the skill set to manage the club and expectations through the next 2 years.

I think I have a far better idea than some of the ill-informed cyberspace tittle-tattle. And he effectively told people anyway in his reported comments. Maybe he will expand on those, and point the finger more, in due course, but being the sort of decent guy he is I think he will more likely just want to go away and chill out and recover for a bit, as would be well-deserved.

Point of order. A guarantor pays nothing unless the guarantee is called upon. So if he did, then that would surely make him no more than a Sweetener Daddy?

Hood was because he was using a term like Sugar daddy - not just in press statements - which is a perjorative term. For an experienced professional Chairman it was an infantile and disparaging term to use.
Which Buyers of RL teams have stated anything other than a wish to run it as a successful business? I do concede that OK may very quickly get sick of putting money into 'a bottomless pit' and pull the pin. Maybe the RFL share that view, thus the probationary period? Hopefully he can get the club on an even keel.

Been told OK has bought the club, settled monies owed to SL, made money available to the club, waived sky monies AND provided substantial guarentees. More a Sugar Daddy with added Sprinkles?
