My take on the takeover is pretty much meh

New owners that lack financial clout. Yep seen that before

Team decimated and having to rebuild. Been there as well

No administration and bills getting paid. Ooh that’s new


But my biggest concern is that I don’t really care. The years of turmoil have left me emotionally jaded and now it appears I have reached the point where I’m past caring

No administration and bills getting paid - you sure about that God?

Overused phrase we agree, but please watch this space for related developments over the next 6-8 weeks, if not sooner. Remember the nesteggers include two substantial creditors. No deal agreed with BB17 at the time of submitting this post.

Not wanting to be unduly negative or overly sceptical of course !

Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cosy, doesn't try it on.

He comes across as a down-to-earth sensible guy.

Why on earth he would want to get involved in this circus beyond his "...I’d have a little bit of personal satisfaction if I got the club back on its feet..." statement is anyones guess.

Interesting to hear, that despite statements to the contrary by many, the club hasn't received any advancements on next year’s central funding too.

Some of his facts are flawed.

Once again for legal reasons we cannot explain which are flawed.

As for honesty and integrity - only time will be the judge of that. Think Chalmers, Green and the That's not appropriate - Pumpers man made similar claims back in the day, and boy did they (not) deliver on said undertakings.

If we appear to be being unduly negative, then compared to the rest of the posts we'd read over the past 16 hours we'd aver that in relative terms we may be erring towards being positive :shock:

Reported for racism. To be honest I think you've long overstayed your welcome anyway. I'll take Sawyer's word over yours any day. Run along now, you've had your fun.

Racism? I’m not sure if your serious or not?

What a time to be alive.

Him being a Bradford academy product, I'm amazed Huddersfield's name hasn't been mentioned yet. I thought their scout lived at Odsal.

Don't think i'm biased...
...i'm just very narrow minded!!!!!!!

Re: Bulls Takeover : Wed Oct 23, 2019 12:52 pm  
This late in the day recruiting I think we'll be lucky to stay up next season, could be a lot of grim viewing I fear.


I don't believe this to be the case. Leigh had zero players on its books at this stage and yet still made top 5.

Playing squad budget is twice that of Rams according to last nights forum. Rams rumoured to be spending about £300k so that equates to about £600k plus whatever extra by better than expected gate receipts.

I would expect us to be spending around same as or higher than 3/4 of the league.

I knew about Hull KR but not Cas.

That’s why I said I didn’t think it would be Leeds
