There was a quote in one of the T&A articles about the takeover being discussed for a month prior to the announcement and Mr Whitcut has been involved since Mr Khan took over, so I can't imagine they'll be either ignorant of the plans and what's worked or otherwise. They'll have the benefit of costs and income from the events tried so far which Mr Khan certainly didn't.
It does look like the separation from Mr Khan's day to day involvement is fairly clear though, as the catering is going to be handled internally if the job's available are any indication. [urlhttp://www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/news__video/article/8628/job-vacancies[/url

That's the bit that strikes me as strange. Assuming they were planning takeover for a month before it was announced surely first item on agenda would be a business plan. And yet six weeks later they still haven't submitted it to RFL. Did guy who took over wakefield from glover have to submit a business plan? Presumably he did and got it cleared before it was even announced he was taking over.

Rick Astley and Belinda Carlisle apparently







Nurse....Nurse....code blue In New Zealand....call the resuscitation team NOW










Calm down....Spandau Ballet are on their way.....

Do we actually know they haven't submitted it or just that it hasn't been considered by the RFL?

Perhaps on an operational side, but remember compared to the 2013 where it appears nearly £1m had to be injected by the owners, the new team also have to factor in the repayments to OK as well.

I notice the usual hyenas prowling round the thread - but sniping at other clubs situations doesn't help anyone. To be successful as a game we need a competitive, funded league - not 4 or 5 elite clubs with some others to make up the numbers. So having a situation where several clubs have questions marks over their funding isn't anything to laugh about - it weakens the whole game, [iand[/i the teams they support.

The T&A on Saturday said the business plan hadn't been submitted to the RFL yet.

But belinda Carlisle is booked for may so its all good

Guttertit you put the same last night but nobody bit,so I will bite for you now,now =#FF0000<no sweary abuse please Rodge - Bullseye>
Haven't your team got a couple of things to worry about

Yeah.......we've booked spandau ballet and still have no venue!

I'd suggest you need to change the record so to speak as no matter how many times you repeat this gag it's not that funny and you make yourself look a bit desperate.

Hopefully the club will let us know when they finish knocking up this business plan and send it to the RFL. Apparently our remaining signings can't be registered until it's approved.

Once they actually get a team together, then they can worry

Sorry Bullseye,but I hope you can understand why

So it may well exist, just not in a form they are happy to submit to the RFL yet and that might not be through lack of a plan but I'd guess they'd want to speak to the clubs bank before committing to anything.

Can't understand for the life of me why you haven't blocked it, thought everybody had!? If no-one read, it'd get bored and slink back under its bridge.

Sorry.......given concerts are one of 3 declared income streams then my posts do have relevance. Will your new owners now press for a separate hearing because of the delay in the EGM?

Because you're attempting, poorly, to belittle the efforts of the new owners. And we all know it's to distract people from talking about how London cannot only not field a team, they don't have anywhere to field that team that they don't have. But haven't you noticed that you don't need to distract people from talking about London? Why distract people from something they have no interest in in the first place?

Buddy, London are pretty much dead in the water. The RFL delaying the EGM has hammered yet another final nail into the coffin and I would be stunned if they exist past December 1st 2013.

I don't need to distract anyone from anything.....I asked a simple question. Will Bradford push for an earlier meeting to sort out your ownership issues, which would enable you to better prepare for 2014?
The reason for asking is that their are now 2 Roosters in the hen house and backing the right one is going to prove tricky. How to the majority of fans on the Bradford forum feel about the potential removal of fatboy Nigel and his posse?

Why would Bradford need an EGM to ratify new ownership? Can't remember an EGM when new guy took over at wakefield a couple of months back.

Your 2 guys were going to be ratified as one item on the agenda of the EGM.......I asked would they ask for another meeting, not another EGM.

According to today's T&A, the business plan must have been submitted some time back as Ryan Whitcut is apparently expecting to hear the decision in a matter of days.

I have been handed a copy of the plan, with sponsors name and new kit design.



I cannot show you the back, as I have been sworn to secrecy, obviously.

Yer all the same, you lot in yer Clique........

Looks like a "smokescreen" to me!

At last.... A sense of humour emerges
