Carvell leaving isn’t due to financial reasons

Presume its a conflict with the pension issue and him being part of the players union.

How bad do things seem Roger?

Feel really down at the minute as this could be it for the sport I've loved all my life. Honesty is desperately needed. If next season needs us cut back and just survibe then just tell us Mr Chalmers.

I can understand you all burying your heads in the sand, I really can. The reality is this has been coming for a while now and a lot of your players have been waiting for this to happen as more a case of when not if Bradford break their contracts.

Carvell leaving is not for any bad reasons, more of him wanting to further his coaching career, as far as I know.

Regarding the other matter, yes I know who the player in question is, but please understand I can’t comment on this till it’s common knowledge, which I don’t think will be long and no doubt more stuff will come out at the same time

We have the standard Fax fan as usual who has come to gloat at our problems. Nothing to see here.

Thank you Roger. Wouldn't expect you to divulge any info you have in confidence, Im just hoping this isn't the beginning of the end (and this time it would be the absolute end)

Not gloating at all. I just saw a lot of burying heads in the sand and as I say I don't blame you all one little bit. Unlike some Fax fans I don't want you to go under, I love the Fax V Bulls games and have friends who are Breadford fans.

You are always fair minded and welcome as far as I'm concerned. You'll appreciate some of the more excitable of your fellow fans have had to have their welcome revoked.

Dewsbury have announced the signing of Jon Magrin

Hello mate I’ve sent you a PM, not sure if I’ve done it right though. Can you see if you’ve got it

Cheers mate. Got it and replied.

Thanks, we deffo have our fair share of dick fans though.

Tensions are obviously going to be on edge at times like these so won't be any gloating here. No matter how Fax fans want to look at it, Bradford struggling costs our club money.

Reducing liabilities for an attractive sale - liabilities being Odsal and player contracts

All hearsay at the minute though, unless there are some official lines somewhere

Jake Webster to Keighley on a 2 year deal announced in the T@A.

What the hell is going on with this club?!

Guess it was Webster who terminated his own contract then.

I assume so

Not only does our Player of the Year leave, he does so half way through his contract and we don’t get a fee

Couldn’t make it up

No wasn’t Webster

Well. Just when we think new depths have been plumbed.

I'm sure it's going to get worse too.

Keyes to Fax anyone?

We are not the only ones in for him.

I'm sure you're not.

I'm not sure I'll care about it anymore then though.

I was under the impression the RFL allow 7 days for either party to appeal/put right any contract disputes. It wasn't just a "I want to terminate my contract - yes, there you go".
That would of course mean that there had to be effective functioning management at the Bulls to follow the process.
Or the new people do want to go fully p/t and are allowing the FT players to tear up their contacts & go. Which is a different issue.
Who are our FT players? Webster, Keyes, Lilley, Hitchcox. Minchella - anyone else?

Webster did not terminate his contract, he is not the player in question.

I would guess Jy. But wouldn't expect you to confirm or deny with the position you're in Roger.

In all honesty with only hear-say info of how bad the situation is, I wouldn't be surprised if all the FT players leave and we go to a fully PT environment. Sad when a fair few of them players have up FT jobs to commit to us.
