Yes I agree with you. Maybe we should merge with another club then love them off

Nobody better for him to work with. Good for him.

What is increasingly worrying now is the threadbare nature of the squad. How can any new owners like Lamb or Chalmers make this side competitive with minus 12 and fighting for survival. Someone put us in League One and whats left of the U19s should be able to step up but not the Championship.

Not read this full thread so my apologies if it's already been covered, my question is .....would Bradford. CIty and Valley Parade partnership be possible bed partners and a way to run a RL club with a viable set of accounts ??

Surely the first step is actually a backer! Your comments are immaterial until that is in place.

Yep. That would be a start. And getting Rohan signed up first would be a good move.

The thought of all our players playing for other clubs next year is sickening. While we are going to scrat about lucky to scrape a win with whoever we can manage to sign in a week.

Well I'm wide awake. Hope Marc Greene is sleeping well tonight.

For what its worth I think the RFL are not doing Bradford any favours if a new club is formed with the players that have already left and those that will it will be a struggle to get a competitive team out in the Championship. Minus 12 points and the likes of HKR,Broncos,Fev,Fax,Batley,Toulouse its a massive hill to climb and with reduced money from the Championship pot. If the club take some Hammerings some more fans will become sick to the back teeth and not go so more lost income. Why not start a new in Championship 1 and build steady my thoughts are if they start in Championship then the risk of going belly up again is not far away and no one wants any club to go completely from the game.
