Oh, say more. Intriguing!

What have you read

Re: Ownership and twists : Sun Mar 02, 2014 8:03 am  

I'd love to see what that is.

A few things stink in this whole mess like RFL involvement and to what level and how a single one night concert can feasibly lose nearly 200k.

Debaser, firstly I do not purport any 'insider knowledge' and only comment on what I read in the public domain.
Interestingly these statements were made by a person with an 'interesting' surname.
I, like many others, were shocked by MM's inappropriate and later withdrawn statement regarding 'NO Points deduction' when apparently the RFL had been privy, and working closely, with the Boards dealings. I personally find it hard to believe that MM's statement was purely a figment of is imagination. Just my take on the matter, you understand.
Maybe if these comments that I read prove correct, they may relate to that scenario. We do not have long to wait to see whether those comments have any foundations.

I've always thought the same, that the RFL almost held the hands of the owners through the whole saga helping them rid of OK, then when the deed was done, they changed the agreed outcome due to pressures from other clubs.

There has to be no doubt that MM was given that information. He would not have made it up. So yes, big questions about what happened next. The truth has to come out.

I'm not sure why Steel City Bull is being coy, given -as he says - the rumour is in the public domain.

The rumour to which he refers purports to be from Joshua Moore and was posted on the Facebook group Bradford Bulls Banter. Take that as you wish, there's a lot of tosh spoken in that group, but who knows?

And Joshua Moore has every reason to try and make his dad come up smelling of roses - indeed he has previous for posting stuff that does that

Either way, I'll be buying a copy of League Express tomorrow

Correct paulwalker71, but as I withdrew from the BB Banter site some time ago, I saw these comments on someone else's profile (or whatever they call them) Because of that, I was hesitate to name name's, nothing moore (sic)
I'm not the sort to believe every titbit I read, but the timing is about right, and questions many of us have regarding this particular aspect needs to be answered now before the 'Baby is thrown out with the bath water'...... if it's not too late already.
I too will be buying the RL papers tomorrow....

Gledhill was saying on Twitter that the entire RL trade press will have an exclusive tomorrow.
