Quote: this_cougar_outfit "I think it will work, but the clock is ticking. I know some details, but wont mention names just yet. They are fans/sponsors.

Essentially Shane wants a payout to leave, 50k has been suggested. So he has walked in, taken sponsorship, gate receipts etc. Not paid anyone, including Gary Fawcett. He is possibly set to walk away with £70-80k for nothing.

This owner has history for this, i've heard some extremely unsavoury things about him. Whilst we cant blame the RFL fully....how has the transaction been allowed?'"

Makes me sick that Shane Spencer stands to make 50k+ out of this but as you say, the clock is ticking and the sooner we get rid of him the sooner we can start focusing on the playing side of things again. We're already miles behind other teams on recruitment and pre season training. Obviously just having a team on the pitch next year will be a success given what we've been through but I'd like to see us win at least some games.

The only problem with only being able to put a makeshift team on the field is the fact that fans will not pay £15 to watch us get beaten more often than not.
Without a competitive team on the field I fear the crowds will drop to around 250/300.
It will then take someone with real money to come in and start building a team to get some supporters back.

I know what you mean but there can also be the opposite effect, where a backs to the wall mentality, playing against the odds etc actually brings out the pride and fight in the fans.

It's hard to predict, but when we (Bradford) reformed after liquidation, we knew with that squad and a points deduction, that we'd lose plenty and be relegated. But perversely this brought the fans together.

But I would hope that if you can wrestle yourselves away from unscrupulous people, that the rest of us will try to help you out as they did for Feath and Leigh. I know Bradford aren't your favourites but I'm sure we'd reach out to help if there was a constructive way to do so.

Everything seems to have gone quiet these last few days, don't suppose anyone has an update?

Think Brendan Rawlings has left.
If a team is assembled for next season and is put together by Austria Holdings I'm afraid for the first time in 50 years I will not be stepping foot inside the ground.
Although we don't have a big support it does mean a lot to quite a few family's and individuals and this company seem hell bent on spoiling it for them.

We won't have a team if Austria Holdings/ Shane Spencer remain in charge, it's well documented at this point they/he has no interest in rugby league. The only hope is some kind of takeover, and the clock is ticking. If their is a group of supporters trying to take control as is rumoured they need to get it completed soon while there's still time to put some time of squad together.
