A couple of people have asked about the 3pm meeting but I think that was just a joke posting linking to a clown site.

It's not a case of how large your budget is, it's a case of getting value for money. WE have spent large budgets in the last two years and have been decidedly short changed.

We short changed ourselves by signing players the coach had no intention of playing. Take those out of the equation and there might have been enough to pay the VAT.

Aaron bower, freelance journo (actual journalist as opposed to some others we know) who has had a couple of good pieces in the Guardian about this fiasco, (and I think used to be a poster on here long ago??) has tweeted there is a press conference tomorrow. I've no reason not to belive Aaron, if it actually happens or not is an entirely different thing!

If i remember correctly the rfl statement on Fri said early next week, never mentioned Monday.

I seem to have spent 8 weeks constantly waiting for an announcement.

Is it only a mere 8 weeks? Hasn't it flown..

The RFL are going to be left with egg on their face. The potential new owners who never actually signed anything after HMRC wanted six months up front are now trying to flip sale the rights to the membership with Lamb and Thorne back in the running. This could take the rest of the week to sort out.

I think the RFL said "early this year".

Awaiting full confirmation but led to believe there will not now be a press conference at @OfficialBullsRL tomorrow.

Re: Press Conference : Mon Jan 16, 2017 5:59 pm  

The silence from both the RFL and the "new owners" is rather worrying.
