Waiting for Frank to come on here and tell us it is now a done deal for new owners to take over. Full of BS.

Come on mate. Frank's just a guy with a mate and he's never pretended anything else. We collectively put the mark of believability on him.

And frankly, I still believe him. There have been several bids that were acceptable to all but one person, and more than enough noise about there being money behind them from other parties too.

It turns my stomach to think that I once shook Marc Green's hand and thanked him for saving the Bradford Bulls.

I don't feel comfortable with reforming in the championship on -12. It will rightly vex all the other clubs off. But we've no got a competitive squad to try and avoid relegation. It won't be made up of the current players. It will be a last minute put together hash job with regular beatings and fans will continue to walk away.

I would rather we drop down to L1 and reform and build up and start a brand new journey together.

Think we may have to prepare ourselves for an almighty backlash...

I'm beyond words right now....




...460 pages and then locked.

All that hard work, gone in a moment.

Shame on you Bullseye.

Re: Phoenix from the flames? : Tue Jan 03, 2017 2:34 pm  

I feel sick.

I hope all involved in destroying the Bulls sleep well tonight.

Well Mick reckons the RFL have invited bids to them by the end of this week!

So we're screwed then

Debaser I ended it on a nice round number....

Sorry but I think this might be my last post.

I'm gutted, spent my life growing up watch this team. Unless there is something special to convince me otherwise (i.e. the team and Rohan are kept on) then that's me done.

A phoenix Bradford is not the real Bradford. Only that squad and coaching staff are and without them it would be like switching to a completely new team. Not one I'm currently willing to do.

Maybe I'll change my mind once I've had time to think, but in all honesty I'm that gutted I don't see any way back.

Re: Phoenix from the flames? : Tue Jan 03, 2017 2:35 pm  

Is this not what Frank was saying?

'long way back'
'new brand needed'

If this particular bull's club is dead and a new one rises how can it be penalised with a points deduction.
I really hope they keep you in the championship with a joint statement from the other club's confirming that they agree with this decision for the good of the league

Re: Phoenix from the flames? : Tue Jan 03, 2017 2:36 pm  

For the first time in a long time, I can't counter act the sicky feeling with humour. I don't know what's gonna happen in the coming weeks, but this feels utter turd.

Hope Marc Green and anyone else who've had a hand in running this club into the ground get their comeuppance.
