Quote ="Bulliac"First, there is no reason whatever to think any merger is on the cards.
Secondly, the people at Park Avenue (the soccer club) have made similar noises, but again, despite the owner, allegedly being an American multi-millionaire, if you were to check the facilities at Horsfall you'd find them pretty basic with nothing to suggest the wherewithal to start another professional RL club.
Truth is we've been searching for some 'money' people to take over the club for years and as yet, despite several gilt edged opportunities over the years, they haven't put their hands up, which, unless they've been hiding their lamp under a bushel for the last ten years, suggests they most likely don't exist.'"
The truth and some facts re the above are as follows:
1) The follk at BPA are all good and honest 'community based' people. Chalmers made some murky advances to BPA allegedly c/o Nigel Wood late last year, but over time BPA realised that AC was full of poop and he was rightfully given the brush off earlier this year. Well done to BPA.
Not that many RL fans will be particularly interested, but post some unfortunate experiences towards the end of last season, BPA have consequently had a poor start to this season. Things will hopefully improve.
2) '
Money' people? - as most fans now recognise the current shower in control at the Bulls are simply more of the same. As said before by us (and others) we firmly believe that as things stand it would be unwise to buy a 2020 Bulls' season ticket.
Wood and Sawyer have been frigging around now for almost two weeks looking to formally conclude a formal share transfer. More imprtantly, it is abundantly clear that neither Wood or Sawyer will be putting any money into the Bulls; but they are happy to strip us of many of our key assets purportedly to pay off large BB17/ AC related debts owed to both Wood and Sawyer as individuals and/or c/o Sawyer's bookmaking businesses. Wood and Sawyer (and the RFL) are we believe only interested in one thing, and we allege it's [unot[/u the Bulls - it's an Odsal land grab.
It would be OK if all the monies from the recent player sales was being used to pay wages for the few remaining players and staff at the club. But it isn't, is it Mr Rimmer !
A portion of the firesale funds are being used to cut deals with a limited number of creditors who were rightfully commencing the WUP process, but we've spoken to many creditors (inc two nesteggers) who have not had a meaningful offer from the inept Wood/ Sawyer consortium to come to a deal to pay off their long overdue debts.
All hope is, however, not yet lost. There are 'money' people waiting in the wings c/o the nestegg consortium. We hope we will be given the chance to use it!
BTW, thank you to the many members who are sending us kind and supportive PM's.
