This. What kind of supposed businessman/men/women would antagonise potential customers?

Exactly this
If it ever turned out this group of people (The 'Nestegg' group) EVER took over my club, I think that would be me totally done with the club forever. A more unprofessional and untrustworthy group of people I have never encountered in my life.
What I [ido[/i think is possible is that 'nestegg' has people within the group who have some knowledge of the inner workings of the club over recent years, which they may use at some point to destabilise the club. My speculative guess would be that they are people who have previously worked at the club, perhaps in the back office, and thus have access to certain information that the likes of us would not. Either that or people connected to the club who are possibly owed money by Andrew Chalmers or Marc Green. They've been able to use this to fuel rumour and speculation, without ever really adding anything of value.
In short, they may 'know where the bodies are buried' - but, as for them having 'investment' to take over the running of a club, don't make me laugh....

Oooh no not for me thanks. Sounds like to much like hard work.
I'm just trying to keep and open mind to all possibilities of an outcome. Yours included.

| I must admit, after the first few posts from a few newish posters, I did wonder if the 'eggers', after saying they were leaving, had decided to set up individual accounts. I'm not sure I can stand any more suspense....

Haha! I thought the same thing! The Egg has hatched and spawned some brand new 'we definitely have nothing to do with nest egg, we're just Bulls fans, honest' users who all completely believe what their probable progenitor had to say!
Who'da thunk it?
Thats [udefinitely[/u going to make me change my mind about eggies ramblings and accusations.

I've a fair idea I know who at least a few of the group are. It's a group that's been around for a long time with different people being involved, but if my hunch is correct (and I've certainly seen things to suggest it is), you're certainly not a million miles away with that. Not trying to be all "cloak and dagger" like they are, but just don't want to make accusations without any real evidence to back it up.
Quote ="Fr13daY"Haha! I thought the same thing!'"
Thirded. I've only just read the last couple of pages and the exact same thought had occurred to me. I generally believe anyone who's backing them up or heralding them is one of them anyway though (especially when they have very few posts or new accounts).

This to me is all that Nestegg is doing, through posting resentment of the current regime and making allegations without giving any evidence to back it up.
I agree with other posters that the professional ability of this person or group has to be questioned, given both the frequency, length and content of their posts.
"Smoke and mirrors" is a stock phrase quoted on a regular basis, aimed at the RFL, the current owners and board of the club. Pot calling the kettle black in my world, as this is exactly what their own posts amount to.
Strange behaviour from an entity that believes it should be running your club.

If you follower bower on twitter, he has linked a radio station which is asking for questions to be put to Nigel wood. I think there’s plenty on here if people are interested in answers (doubt he’ll answer some of the more difficult ones but worth a pop)

Totally agree. I believe I have been saying very similar in my posts as no respected professional person would spend tens of hours on here and It would be the end of 45 years supporting for me if this troll did have anything to do with a future club. This makes me believe they are only here to make trouble. Didn't they say some weeks ago they were stopping posting?

| So this lottery thing what nestegg was referring to? Bulls statement seems to suggest it were running unlicensed and maybe some brown stuff is going to hit.

| The lottery statement doesn't seem to get to the heart of the speculation around the club's lottery dealings really. That concerns me slightly.

| It goes to show that Duffy and Co couldn't run a pi$$ up in a brewery, yet he is still there.
I have also heard that when Perez goes in January our old mate RHP is back in the fold.
Having only been involved with every failed incarnation of the club i one way or another since admin 1.
I was hoping for a fresh start and a rebrand as "Northern" something to be proud of.
However I wouldnt want the Iconic Boars Head tarnished by the absoloute shower of $hit.
I've heard people mooting that Duffy bleeds RAB, remember where the clown came from in the first place? Te best howler for me is stating that Elliot Whitehead wasn't good enough.

It's very much a rushed "It's nothing to do with us as we have a valid license. It was the previous dodgy fecker." isn't it?

| Seems one of the "Top" administrators at the club is likely to be looking down the barrel of a criminal investigation, lets hope they are shown the door.

| I always thought that the lottery was run by a 'separate' company?. That is to say, at 'arms length' from the club itself. If true any problems (like licences) should surely have been dealt with by the lottery management?

That article and the statement from the club suggest otherwise.

| it’s a fact that Duffy has been employed during all the administration’s. The latest revelations would suggest he is covered in the same Brown stuff going back to Hoods reign.
They show why Rugby League has become a turnoff ,administrated by Clowns . Lock them up !

| Again there's a cock up and again Duffy is for some reason being blamed. Either he runs absolutely every department within the club, or people just like to blame him.
Incidentally, I have no clue what he is or isn't involved with or if he is or isn't to blame for anything, but I'd be amazed if absolutely everything was his fault.

| So, what's the downside? If there was no licence, was everything taxable then? I assume.

Yeah that's the bit I'm unclear on. Presumably some liability will fall on the current regime as they took over the same company effectively, but I wouldn't have a clue what that would be. It seems the license isn't expensive, so you'd have to assume in this case whoever made the balls up, it was out of ineptitude rather than the usual penny pinching.

TBH I've got my suspicions as to who at least one of them is. Since Nesteggs announced departure from the forums ( not including the obvious new accounts their now posting under) a certain person linked to club has become very vocal on social media making negative comments about new regime. Doesn't seem a coincidence to me.
