So no new signings? No announcement on the future plans? No announcement on investment in players?
Welcome to the new regime, just like the old regime.

think he may be making a detailed view of the operation he is a business man not a Philantropist

TBH, I don't think Mr Green is stupid enough to cancel current season tickets.

If he did, I would not go back this season, and given all the poop that's gone on with the club over these last 18 months or so I don't know if I'd come back next year and I don't think I'd be the only person to wash their hands of the club.

He might get away with it if he opened up the books, showed exactly how much he was putting into the club and what the funding gap is for the rest of the season. But there's a huge credibility issue for any Bulls owner after everything that's happened in the last couple of years. Particularly after the Pledge. My guess would be that less than 20% of ST holders would pay at the gate. And I would expect that ST renewals for next season would be dreadful.

I'm not as optimistic unfortunately.

I'm willing to give Green a chance, but I need to see some action that indicates he's doing good for the club.

He didn't decide that he wanted to buy and rescue the Bulls, it was me of a case of an opportunity arose allowing him to buy a club without needing to pay any more for it.

The fact that he was unable to comment to press on the press release make day makes me think there were certain questions that he didn't want to answer.

I'm not that impressed with the appointment of Ferres.

Time will tell I suppose

unfortunately winning teams come at a cost, limited sponsorship, no S/T income and the RFL shortfall of central funding has to come from somewhere run the club, so adding more players will increase the amount needed, where is it going to come from........

Does Ferres coming mean Paul going?

If you can't stand the heat..... nobody asked him to bid/buy the club. If he isn't prepared to invest in it he shouldn't have bought it.
