And World War one would "be over by christmas". What could go wrong.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the delay mate.

We've just got a lot on looking to help the club liaising with likes of our friends at the Council and international backers etc.

Enjoyed the forum last night. Impressive or what?

As promised we'll look to attend to your many issues in due course, but as you are aware in the immediate term PumpetyPump has taken appropriate action which Charles and the other eggheads respect and acknowledge.

Yeah, agree with that. I've had longer than most at Odsal but I'm perfectly happy to let it go if we can find a cheaper and reasonable alternative in the City. To quote a few others, I support the Bulls not Odsal stadium. To be fair, the new people seem to realise the importance of being back in Bradford ASAP, so let's get a covenant on the ark before Noah comes back looking for it.

No I didn’t, it was before my time

Oakes on a 2 year deal.

As I recall the collective SL clubs voted to Shaft Omar Khan in 2012, but you only took over Trin in 2013?

Ross Oakes, 2 year deal (says its FT) Happy with that. Oakes has gotten better and better and is a real wingers centre.

Who the Feck is Charles?

Ross Oakes is a good one to get.

As an architect myself I got in touch offering services for the redesign of a boutique stadium and had my details passed along to McFarlane. That was all before the shares were up for grabs and who knows if Russ is still there. I never heard back and hoped that was because it was already in hand but make of it what you will

Ironically the first thought that popped into my head was a puppet.

So there’s a second puppet master now? It’s all so confusing

You've got that much on that you can't spend 60 seconds apologizing for overtly racist comments?

Well you've answered your own query, because this is precisely what Pestegg is not doing.

The delay in WHAT?

We were all waiting for you to find time to address your overtly racist singling out of one former owner as "the curry man" instead of using his name, in contrast to the others you named.



But, nobody else is a party to such, what is needed IMHO is YOU to take appropriate action publicly on here, eg delete or amend, and apologise. Obviously you seem determined to leave it up, and so your seemingly plain overt racism is confirmed and reinforced. I am frankly not surprised at your antics, as you don't seem to give a flying one, and too far up your own ass.

Neither do Wood and Sawyer. Well not to play rugby league anyhow.

Excellent post. Comments re the eggheads noted. As said many times the forum is excellent, and moreover serves as an excellent conduit to the outside world and the alleged bad uns who are still stuck to the club like limpets.

We will all come out of our respective lairs in good time.

Re investigation into what you decribe as corruption, watch this space. We understand that some pro clubs are calling for the same, but they seem to move at such a slow pace its frankly embarrasing. Also apart from the excellent Carto and Hudgo most clubs are still understanably beholden to Rimmer etc.

Where does all this leave the Nestegg consortium? Do you still have plans for a takeover?

On a lighter note, 40 pages in & I love this post ! Exactly how I have been on different forums.

We don't want to drone on as though we are deluded conspiracy theorists, but we believe, well to be honest we are confident, that the new consortium has no credible plan for a BBS - a Bradford Boutique Stadium. Odsal is there the alleged target, but NOT for the playing of rugby league, but more in accordance with the alleged land grab plan.

When the club - as we predict - allegedly folds around the start of next season, if not sooner, then all the usual excuses will be rolled out from the club and the RFL, for example:

1) We tried our best, but the tide was against us.
2) We could not find any credible and cost effective route back into Odsal/ elsewhere to house the Bulls.
3) The RFL let us down (again).
4) We were in discussions with developers but none came through with the plans and the dosh to house the Bulls, but did have the dosh for something else!.
5) The Wood/Sawyer consortium will allege that Bradford Council let them down.
6) Chalmers so called written off £500k debt proved (as we believe it is) to be a total fallacy.
7) Napoleon's Casino in Leeds and the wider betting betting community suddenly stirred things up ... and some of the Dewsbury backed consortium memberswere not willing to answer related journalist's legitimate questions.
.. Eight) - Sport England messed the Wood/Sawyer consortium around (which our Charles will fully know about).
9) The nestegg scandal re alleged misappropriated funds took us by surprise and the negative press and understandable fans outrage that ensued was too much to bear.
10) The fans didn't come over to Dewsbury in sufficient numbers, so it could in part be the loyal fans' fault !!.
11) The Winding Up Petition Orders arrived and ultimately took us under.
12) Sponsors didn't deliver in sufficient quantity and we did not meet our RFL agreed budget and the club/BB17 was returned to Special Measures, and that was the beginning of the end.
13) etc, etc.

We trust that, apart from 7) above, the more astute forum members get we are coming from.

We may of course be wrong.

p.s.Thank you for the supportive PM's some members have been sending along with helpful new affirmative evidence.

I hope you are right. Then I can charge back my ST and walk away from RL. I am done.

Has anyone in all this actually announced that the deal has gone through and completed, rather than just 'sale agreed'? If it has they're taking their time updating the relevant information with Companies House and also I would have expected the RFL to have made a statement by now but I can't find anything.

Can you not give us a 13 point counter list of positive possibilities? Just to talk us down off the ledge.

It was mentioned at Forum that biggest debt would be paid on Friday and also that biggest creditor was Chalmers. So I'd assume they meant deal finalised tomorrow with chalmers writing off his debt officially as part of deal.

It looks like our 4th column takeover of HKR going well. Bit further than Dewsbury but we're back in SL
