Short term survival and then you can steady the ship is better than run a youth academy and go bust. It's said a youth set up cost about 200k per year. Richard Lamb seem to share the view that a competitive first team is the starting point.
You need to cut whatever you can. So instead of dissecting each persons points saying how terrible they are what do you suggest the model should look like with very limited funds?
There isn't one. My own totally pessimistic view is that what we've heard so far will not produce any setup even remotely worthy of the Bulls name. In the absence of an owner willing and able to put in substantial money, my own view is that the whole thing is dead in the water, at least as a recognizable Bradford club.
It seems to me that what few hints are emerging as to what lamb or whoever may have in mind will be something completely different, and it seems to me that that something will be committing suicide by taking the directive to start in the Championship.
Nothing has changed. If you want a Bulls-style big city team, then you always did, and always will, need a big money backer. What is being proposed amounts to nothing, it would leave the club that used to be Bradford in a much, much worse place than the club that used to once be the mighty Bradford Park Avenue. Same name, but no point. And they (allegedly) DO have a man with money involved.
