RFL - Club out of special measures!!!

Sawyer working behind the scenes for past few months trying to get club out of special measures.

AC wanted out due to frustrations with RFL. Sawyer wanted club to continue for good of RL without Admin.

The Tea lady is in New Zealand with AC as she fancied a change

Why Sawyer involved... self satisfaction helping Bulls out.

Doesn't want to sell up at Rams... invested a lot at club and get enjoyment from seeing kids using the facilities (3G pitchs).

We turned it around with a thousand supporters and so can Bulls.

Got emotional at Sheffield game... Bulls not at such a low ebb as Dewsbury was.

Internet has been poison for those willing to invest.

Family of Nigel Wood is new owners!!!

Statement from Wood read out...

Basically asked to help out, would have been easy to stand back but family has been supporters for many years and couldn't stand back.

Will not be involved in day to day running.

Sawyer has given him a nudge to get involved.

Squad will be competitive... some players will leave but club will have a squad that is competitive.

Club has been biggest club in this area and needs to be again. Need to get on better with RFL and clubs.

Perez will be interim Chairman... will bring sponsors and investors.

Only way to move forward is to unite as fans...

Supporter base is great even if you call a few more forward passes than most.


Eric Perez will be involved for a "few months".

Plan is to get back to Odsal... Sawyer been to meetings with council, MP (who has been really supportive) and they all will be working to get club back to Bradford.

Whole heartidly agree with that

I knew Nestegg would get a mention somewhere

Perez speaking...

First games he saw was at packed Odsal. Fell in love with rugby league and fell in love with club.

When asked by Wood to get involved had no hesitation.

Will bring in sponsors and investors.

Whilst here will work tirelessly to do best for the club

Which bit? The first is why the Club finds itself in the position it's currently in!!!!

Only way to move forward is to unite as fans... as if we have't been all these years

Ooops quoted the wrong line. Was meant to be about club getting on better with other clubs (aka no weekly article/rant)

Kear impressed with what has been put in place.

Cynical old Yorkshireman but seen what vibrant healthy progressive club Toronto are. Look who broke the cycle and worth sticking around.

Steve crossley and Sam Hallas lifeblood of the team.

Squad will be smaller but good small group.

I'm confident because of Beattie and Dunning with youth development. Small squad supported by youth.

Might be tough and may get backsides kicked but I'm willing to accept the challenge.

Through adversity comes quality and we will be stronger as club. I'm confident but we will progress and move forward.

3 year plan... not competing for SL yet, knocked back but please stick with us and we will do our best.

If Sawyer is a 'consultant', and Perez is 'interim' chairman, and Wood won't be hands-on - then who will actually be running the club next season?

Crossley staying at the club... knows how Perez operates and he has a vision to put us on right track

We will keep working hard and be positive. It's not doom and gloom and we are looking positive.

If anyone puts negative comments online... tell them to off!!!

Q... fans on board for transparency?

Sawyer... yes needs to be considered. Have same at Dewsbury.

Well there'll be a whole heap of eff off on here then. I'll have my work cut out.

Q... conflict of interest?

Sawyer... absolutely not. Will not be involved in player transfers. Just in charge of getting Bulls back to Bradford

looks like our eggy friend may be commenting on Facebook feed. someone throwing about lots of financial guff.

Isn't this what happened last time round?

Sawyer will help put a decent board together.

Shortage of people out there willing to take this level of risk.

RFL have been very fair with club.

Bulls have only one asset... the fans.

Kear... Batley and Dewsbury want to be sustainable clubs that challenge.

Bulls want SL and that's the difference and why no conflict. We will learn from them on sustainability.

Which feed and under what name?
