I have not been on this forum for a long time, it's very depressing reading the mostly negative posts, however,one major thing strikes me, if I was part of a "consortium" seriously interested in investing in the Bulls would I consistently be posting rumours and spreading alarm and despondency on this forum ? Surely all my valuable time would be better employed by securing more investment rather than posting tittle tattle?!


This. What kind of supposed businessman/men/women would antagonise potential customers?

Exactly this

If it ever turned out this group of people (The 'Nestegg' group) EVER took over my club, I think that would be me totally done with the club forever. A more unprofessional and untrustworthy group of people I have never encountered in my life.

What I do think is possible is that 'nestegg' has people within the group who have some knowledge of the inner workings of the club over recent years, which they may use at some point to destabilise the club. My speculative guess would be that they are people who have previously worked at the club, perhaps in the back office, and thus have access to certain information that the likes of us would not. Either that or people connected to the club who are possibly owed money by Andrew Chalmers or Marc Green. They've been able to use this to fuel rumour and speculation, without ever really adding anything of value.

In short, they may 'know where the bodies are buried' - but, as for them having 'investment' to take over the running of a club, don't make me laugh....

Do you want to be our consortium campaign manager mate?

Long way to go yet, but we are getting there. We were at City Hall again today, and will be back again shortly. We were in part discussing the upcoming latest Bulls scandal.

We will also soon be meeting with other influential local politicians.


Oooh no not for me thanks. Sounds like to much like hard work.

I'm just trying to keep and open mind to all possibilities of an outcome. Yours included.

I must admit, after the first few posts from a few newish posters, I did wonder if the 'eggers', after saying they were leaving, had decided to set up individual accounts. I'm not sure I can stand any more suspense....

Haha! I thought the same thing! The Egg has hatched and spawned some brand new 'we definitely have nothing to do with nest egg, we're just Bulls fans, honest' users who all completely believe what their probable progenitor had to say!

Who'da thunk it?

Thats definitely going to make me change my mind about eggies ramblings and accusations.

I've a fair idea I know who at least a few of the group are. It's a group that's been around for a long time with different people being involved, but if my hunch is correct (and I've certainly seen things to suggest it is), you're certainly not a million miles away with that. Not trying to be all "cloak and dagger" like they are, but just don't want to make accusations without any real evidence to back it up.

Thirded. I've only just read the last couple of pages and the exact same thought had occurred to me. I generally believe anyone who's backing them up or heralding them is one of them anyway though (especially when they have very few posts or new accounts).

This to me is all that Nestegg is doing, through posting resentment of the current regime and making allegations without giving any evidence to back it up.
I agree with other posters that the professional ability of this person or group has to be questioned, given both the frequency, length and content of their posts.
"Smoke and mirrors" is a stock phrase quoted on a regular basis, aimed at the RFL, the current owners and board of the club. Pot calling the kettle black in my world, as this is exactly what their own posts amount to.
Strange behaviour from an entity that believes it should be running your club.

Probably a thread in its own right but having seen the news of the HMRC mess up with rangers... can we make a case for an error with the bulls all those moons ago? Ha

If you follower bower on twitter, he has linked a radio station which is asking for questions to be put to Nigel wood. I think there’s plenty on here if people are interested in answers (doubt he’ll answer some of the more difficult ones but worth a pop)
