looks like quite a lot of longstanding, committed fans & RAB posters are leaving.

Are we getting a fee?

I can't imagine any Bulls fans actually thinking that this is an exciting new start.

It's just some more men who want to screw the long-suffering Bulls fans out of more money.

I'm pretty sick of it all too TBH, but will wait to see what/if John Kear can produce before next season starts before deciding to liberate my Sunday afternoons completely.

I'm fairly sure FA would faint if someone offered him £175 per week.... more like £300 per hour lol.

I hope this is the point where we all look back at this and say "yeah it was painful at the time, but those actions helped save the club and allowed was to move forward"
though I doubt it with this club.
Painful news.

Wakey went throught it when Michael Carter took over.

I'm as gutted as anyone to lose Minchella, Keyes, Storton and Milnes. We could have built a team around them capable of getting back into SL. But we were a club on the brink (again) and losing All players for absolutely nothing, starting on - 12 and on all liklihood zero appetite from fans to "start again"

We've actually received some cash for once for the players so innocent creditors actually get what they're owed. Milnes is back for the whole year which is also a positive.

Guess we can only see what sort of team we have come kick off.

Me too. I've seen most of the academy games last season, there's quality there. And this is a really aggressive start to getting rid of debt. If we stabilise, this could be our last firesale.

My only concern is if ST sales collapse completely, then it doesn't really matter how much we cut expenditure, we're done.

Basically this is it. It's either total collapse, club dies and we all go home (over the next 3months). Or we stabilise and we don't have to do this again. There's no middle ground. I don't know the odds, but I'll give it a go.

Did they say at the fan's forum what the bl**dy h**l is the reason for the massive debt year upon year, owners upon owners? Odsal? Boardroom fishtank? The tealady over ordering the pg tips?

Meanwhile, Doncaster have just tweeted they've signed Josh Rickett

It's all so sad but not unexpected after what was said at the forum about selling players. It was always going to be our best players only SL clubs could afford to buy them, championship clubs dont have the money to pay fees. So only players who might make it in SL would go. At least the new owners are being honourable in trying to settle debts and save us from administration and points deduction. I for one will not kneejerk react and wait to see what develops over the next few months before giving in. I've followed them since 1962 and will find it hard to walk away. If memory serves me right York were deeper in the sh*t 3 seasons ago and not in a position to start a new season a few weeks before kick off, but they did and now look at them.

I know people keep saying York were in a worse position 3 years ago, or Fev last year, or Leigh last year. But no-one says such-and-such a club were in a worse position 2 years ago and 3 years ago and 5 years ago. We seem to constantly have the heart ripped out of the club every effing year.

Those clubs weren't helped by the RFL

Jammy barstewards.

that was public knowledge a couple of weeks ago.

Urgh. What’s the point anymore?

If they end up on dual reg at Dewsbury then I’m done. Clear reason why you shouldn’t be able to invest in 2 clubs.

Are we into single figures yet for the squad next season?

I'd be surprised if the club sell many more season tickets. I hope they aren't relying on another 1000 season ticket sales because I just don't see it happening. Obviously some won't bother going to Dewsbury at all and those who haven't bought a season ticket up to now will probably just wait and see how things look by kick off time. Just about the only thing that gives me hope is that JK has proven he can get decent results from a tight budget. But it's a tough sell for the club playing out of Dewsbury.

Here you go, simply print this list, cross out the ones we know have left, and start building your own new team around who's remaining....(removes rose tinted ! )

I’ll be going whether I get a ST or pay on the day, depends on my cash flow and timing but I support Bradford and can’t support anyone else and whilst we’ve been delivered a stick on many occasions I’m still a fan

Mikey Woods name hasn’t been mentioned for weeks, wheres he gone?

I feel sorry in a way for jk, but I bet he is on a decent wedge anyway, he must be to have bought into this plan to start with

I think that sums me up.

Part of me wants to call it a day but I just can’t.

Whilst I appreciate the point all the comments regarding team is decimated are slightly inaccurate when you consider it was paid for and built on sand foundations. It’s not really a like for like comparison comparing. 2019 squad to what is likely to be on the field in 2020. It seems clear that the likes of Mini, Keyes etc would not have been retained if we had tried to live within our means so losing them is inevitable. We now seem to be spending what we generate and if attendances fall so does the budget .

What a sad day.

Agreed, must be terrible for you mate.

Best of luck to Elliot. He always gave 100% and I’m absolutely gutted he’s had to go.

What an absolute crying shame that we didn't get to see the 2019 team enjoying further success in 2020 after their efforts this past season. With a few well placed additions, we'd have had a cracking team to challenge for the top 5. JK has a proven record in these circumstances, but has he got the stomach for this challenge? Seeing the guts ripped out of his team must be heartbreaking. Just hope he's made of sterner stuff than I would be in his shoes.
