If investors now step in and take over the club, does this not mean that they will have taken over for £500K less than would have been required two weeks ago. If that is so then all these people who have given pledges have given money direct to the new investors and helped them increase the value of their investment and therefore their own personal wealth. It is the same as customers paying off the debts of a company, which then enables someone buy it for less.

Or alternatively meaning the current owners are not £500k lighter than they otherwise may have been if they have personal guarantees to meet with the bank? Not really sure how it works but something doesn't feel right from where i'm sat on my fat 'arris. Will be interesting to see how it pans out

You've done a lot of moaning about the RFL helping clubs, you've even invented stories about the RFL helping clubs. Now you're complaining about fans helping clubs.

Do you actually enjoy RL?

Would you like to remind us what the RFL did for your club, and how much money that involved??

From your posts it is clear you have a learning difficulty. You simply cannot comprehend facts. i feel your pain.

I know you are in denial about the RFL owning the long term lease to your ground ( or as people usually say... owning your ground) and you find it difficult to see how the RFL 'bailed the cougars out'. You even deny the quotes from your chairman. You keep going with those voices inside your head..

What really shows your one eyed stupidity is your claim that I am complaining about fans helping their club. Read my post again you clutz I am saying those fans deserve to be better informed by their club. only the voices in your head think that is a complaint about fans.

On the Giants / RFL issue you have once again advertised your lame thinking. The Giants ' assistance' was within the rules, openly discussed by stakeholders and voted upon. There was transparency. And if people do not like what happened they should complain about the decision makers. The RFL conduct over the cougars, crusaders and bulls has not been transparent, openly discussed by stakeholders nor voted upon. The decision makers made their decisions and did not inform stakeholders. All very different for those able to grasp the facts.

To reiterate. when I say that the Bulls fans should be better informed about the future plans of the club it is not a complaint about those fans

So:

The Bulls failed to meet their pledge target, so they extended the deadline; they subsequently exceeded the target by 6k, but have yet to collect the pledges, which are extremely unlikely to be actualised in full.

Mr Duckett was on 5 Live this morning suggesting that the begging exercise has impressed potential investors (if I was about to invest in a failing business, I'd be impressed if the stakeholders wiped half a million quid off its liabilities for me, but hey) but that they can't go back to the supporters for the other half million they need to get through to the end of the month.

Does that mean that they'll still go out of business if one of these impressed investors still can't be persuaded to cough up, or is there yet another contingency plan? If that is the case, what happens to the half a million quid that people have already put in?

Am I the only one struggling to understand?

I see you are starting down the insults route [iagain[/i. Clever boy. Is that why you've had so many user names, to avoid all the bans? You ARE a pain.



You are squirming again, this was not the original argument.

YOU SAID THE RFL "TOOK OVER" AT COUGAR PARK AND IMPLIED THAT THIS TURNED THEM INTO THE MANCHESTER CITY OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP (because John Kear said so as a wind up in a pre match interview against his old player and now Keighley coach)

Quite different connotations.

For the umpteenth time, I have never once said the RFL do not own the lease on the [iland[/i, but then since Keighley own the underlease and own all the buildings, under your interpretation, they own their own ground.

No they don't - you haven't used any yet!

There you go again with the cougars....

Changing the subject, wriggling and twisting: Just answer the question - why did you mention Cougars first?

You brought it up to derail the thread not me. Go back and look.

Typical defence from a multi user name troll.

You're so precious Gollum must have a hard on.

PS you mentioned cougars three times in your above post. Obsessed
