So now Hood IS the pantomime villain, a shyster and a fraud who has taken the fans for mugs for years. A liar and a disgrace to the club.

Been saying it for years and been slated/vilified by plenty on here for saying it too. Not a time for "told you so's" perhaps but some people on here have enjoyed telling me how wrong I was. Sad day to finally realise that many people should credit me with a bit more knowledge than I am credited for eh?

Let's hope the incompetent fool buggers off for good now. A man who backed McNamara to the hilt, now takes us to the brink of extinction. Agent Hood?

Whilst I agree with some of your post, nows not the time for name calling and finger pointing. We need to group together get the club back to where it needs to be (financially) and then do everything to get him out.

Lets not waste our efforts in arguing, put them into doing something positive to earn the club the dosh it desperately needs.

Hmmmmm, so it wasn't you Eddie who posted this enormous pile of elephant poo then?

Who could it have been?





[i"Oh dear Jonesy.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

I've had some extremely interesting chats this evening with all four of the Bulls senior management team (including the chairman and his fellow directors). I can't begin to tell you how interesting - so I won't.

What I WILL share with you is that I am totally satisfied that this club is now perfectly secure financially, and that the progress made in recent weeks has been little short of astounding. And there is plenty more for the future.

I now have a much clearer understanding about the RFL's intervention. And, funnily enough, it transpires the press release contained far less spin than most people deemed it to have. In shock breaking news, it would appear it was actually largely factual. Yes Jonesy, there IS a tip of the iceberg involved - but its rather the opposite of what you are assuming. I'm going to have some fun at your expense in years to come with that post! Oh yes. Just you watch me!

Precarious position? Not any more, my friend. Duke Peter of Hood has pulled off the mother of all coups here. It takes a lot to astound me these days; but astounded I sure am. I must be, since I had a fair number of witnesses to my astonishment. So much has gone wrong for us for so long, that we were long overdue for a break. Well, seems we sure got that.

But don't let me keep you Jonesy. I'm sure you have to get back to composing a bit more negative waknerage for us to endure. But you know what? I'm going to be able to laugh in your face now when I read it! Not all at once; no rush. I'm happy to be patient. I'd rather have it dawn on you slowly just how wrong you have been - nice and slowly will do just fine!

btw, regarding your salary cap point: regular readers will know my views on the salary cap. And that IMO the words "Salary Cap" and "Wealthy Owner" are a classic oxymoron. One day I expect it will come out what has gone on, and folk will then realise how naïve they were. Until then, you just go on believing that the salary cap works. While you are at it, feel free to believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy as well. They are probably more plausible."

Agreed, but I doubt too many people could deny that I took a LOT of vitriol, and have ultimately been proven right over more so called "well informed" posters.

Not guilty m'lud.

Can this not wait?

No, it can't. Best to strike when the iron is hot so to speak.

You were proved completely and utterly wrong over the club financial position. Over a protracted period. How about being man enough to admit that, as I have about being rolled by the club over the Odsal sale, rather than just trying to score cheap points and selectively recalling history?

I think I am well entitled to score points here am I not?

As for the financial position, apparently I was also wrong when I said we could not afford to sack McNamara because we had no money.......

PS - that your handiwork ^

This is helping.

Perhaps not. Then again, I never got us into this mess. Had more people opened their eyes in the past maybe the board would have been ousted sooner.

What did you think would happen if people did listen to you? The BoD would have been ousted in a bloodless coup in 2010 and you'd have been installed as Chief Exec and right now we'd be sat atop the League with Thurston and Billy Slater in the team?

It's an internet forum. It's just people expressing opinions. It doesn't matter in the real world.

If there was ever a time to put away the handbags and pull together, this is it. This is surely not the time for point scoring.

1. Todays events events suggest differently do they not?
2. If they don't, why you getting so involved?

Yeah, come on Eddie, now's not the time for slapping our good selves on the back.



I couldnt be more devastated by this news, my girlfriend who has only been a Bulls fan for 12 months is equally as devvod.

Now, I'm off to see if I can see Jupiter

Exactly debaser. Aaron's come up with a few schemes, I'm still working on some aswell.

Doubt it's helped but I've been on twitter alot of today messaging people trying to get every last bit of support.

And this is to everyone : pledge what you can afford, but it's not just money you can give. Time can be spent joining fundraising events, or thinking of new ones, or even taking buckets into bradford centre. Just think about what your weekends would be like without the bulls, or if you switch sky on and see Langley, Kopzcak, Donaldson, Addy, Bateman, Burgess, Crookes, Whitehead, Olbison, O'Brien, L'estrange and Kearney playing for other clubs.

We have something worth fighting for, and I know alot of us here have shown we are up for the fight.

No offence Mystic Eddie but don't be a prick when we all need to group together. When we are out of this mess I will gladly apologise for giving u stick etc and you can claim brownie points but not friggin now!

Sorry Eds, im with the majority - there may well be a time and a place for pointing out you have been proved correct but this is not it.
