No administration and bills getting paid - you sure about that God?
Overused phrase we agree, but please watch this space for related developments over the next 6-8 weeks, if not sooner. Remember the nesteggers include two substantial creditors. No deal agreed with BB17 at the time of submitting this post.
Not wanting to be unduly negative or overly sceptical of course !

He comes across as a down-to-earth sensible guy.
Why on earth he would want to get involved in this circus beyond his "...I’d have a little bit of personal satisfaction if I got the club back on its feet..." statement is anyones guess.
Interesting to hear, that despite statements to the contrary by many, the club hasn't received any advancements on next year’s central funding too.

Some of his facts are flawed.
Once again for legal reasons we cannot explain which are flawed.
As for honesty and integrity - only time will be the judge of that. Think Chalmers, Green and the =#FF0000That's not appropriate - Pumpers man made similar claims back in the day, and boy did they (not) deliver on said undertakings.
If we appear to be being unduly negative, then compared to the rest of the posts we'd read over the past 16 hours we'd aver that in relative terms we may be erring towards being positive ![Shocked icon_eek.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_eek.gif)

Reported for racism. To be honest I think you've long overstayed your welcome anyway. I'll take Sawyer's word over yours any day. Run along now, you've had your fun.

Racism? I’m not sure if your serious or not?
What a time to be alive.

Him being a Bradford academy product, I'm amazed Huddersfield's name hasn't been mentioned yet. I thought their scout lived at Odsal.

I don't believe this to be the case. Leigh had zero players on its books at this stage and yet still made top 5.
Playing squad budget is twice that of Rams according to last nights forum. Rams rumoured to be spending about £300k so that equates to about £600k plus whatever extra by better than expected gate receipts.
I would expect us to be spending around same as or higher than 3/4 of the league.

Spot on... he may have made mistakes but he was one guy in it for all genuine reasons. He lost a shed of money, was unfairly dealt with (court papers found this to be true) and suffered a whole heap of racism from a section of the RL community which ought to hang its head in shame.
To the poster who has reported DickEgg how do I add my name to the list of folk supporting that motion?

So, if Kear's claims on player spend from a couple of months ago were true you'll have a bigger budget for 2020 than you did in 2019.......
Although, TBF, £300k sounds a lot for Dewsbury and they've already announced the budget for 2020 will be lower than in 2019 even with the extra income from the Bulls deal (not sure how the same person trying to increase income whilst at the same time actively trying to remove an income stream isn't a conflict of interest ![Wink icon_wink.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_wink.gif) ). For comparison Fev's 2019 playing budget was considerably less than £600k.

| Given that we don't seem to have any new money coming with the owners do we know if there was any questions last night about us having already spent next years money. Genuine question.

That's because a fair chunk of people playing for Fev over 2019 were paid by Leeds. Don't know how the regular loans (rather than DR) were worked out, but I'd be amazed if Fev were paying full wages for those others borrowed from SL teams too like Holmes & Reynolds.
I know a lot slate DR, but it can help teams with low budgets to be far more competitive than they otherwise would have been.

Someone at my amateur club said Batley were spending around £400k and Dewsbury was spending £100k less... however that's only what I've been told. You could be better informed than me.
So potentially looking at about £400-500k???

2018 Fev player budget was significantly higher than £600k.

Diskin said in pre match interview at the first Batley game of the season last year that the Bulls were spending 3x what Batley were. I've always assumed Batley were about £200 - £250k and we were in the £600k range for last season. But I'm just going on Diskin's interview/mind games attempt....
