All of this smarts a bit more when we consider that a potential owner of Derek Richardson was put off by the RFL but has just seen his last investment of Coventry Wasps win the yawnion league through his continued investment. So why did we end up with ChaLo

Whoa there! Why not consider before letting your knee jerk (condition your reflexes). Bongser has been on this board in peace many a time. His post was genuine, his post script was genuine and, what is more, he always reads a thread from the beginning.

Regarding pieces of this thread (and ignoring the 20 question guessing game), has anyone any thoughts on Big Nige's podcast on the Beeb website. Bongser particularly refers his readers to 19 mins and 30 secs and to 28 mins on.

Shut up with your pathetic, third-person nonsense.

I am pleased to have a club to follow, matches to watch, and the enjoyment of striving to achieve something. In this case survival. It's a lot better than I'd thought in December.

I'd love us to have owners who were plowing millions into this season. We haven't. Whether because they don't have it or are saving it or a brave new world, I don't know. I don't think that people complaining about others not piling in enough money is particularly rational. If you're that convinced that there's a return then put your own millions in; otherwise you're just begging.

I am a supporter and I will keep on supporting.

I'm as grateful as all the fans on here that we have a team especially after the nightmare in December but how much blood can be squeezed out of that stone. Do the new owners just get a free pass on everything because the team exists in some capacity?

Should we all think now that the owners have been given assurance by the powers that be will be making changes and the Bulls will be fine

Yes none of us know and it's all hearsay and yes some of it from me but we've got to be honest now if things stay the same the door will be getting permanently locked in the near future

I cannot see the RFL letting a club with 4000 fans for home games go to the wall, there has got to be something going on in the background

Totally agree here mate, the thing is why on gods green earth would Geoff toovey come halfway around the world for things to end up as they currently are his reputation is completely on the line. There has to be an end game and from what you said chalmers said to you this is my thought on it too. There has to be a why spend if you don't need to mentality going on there truly has to if they passed all the conditions the rfl wanted for potential owners to take over

If you're happy for the playing side to be mismanaged and our youngsters getting flogged mercilessly, you're gonna be in a pretty small minority very quickly. I'm a supporter too, but I'm not a mug and will only be taken for one so many times.

Fair enough. I do think that that attitude is just saying 'I'll take my bat home because nobody was prepared to give the club millions of pounds" though, but you are entitled to it.

I was one of the, at the time, many who would have rather gone down a league at the beginning of the season as the alternative was watching us struggle in the Championship. What's changed? We are struggling. We might survive, we might not, but I'm angry with the RFL for this situation, not the current owners who said straight up that they didn't have millions to invest. As far as I can tell from the administration process, nobody else did either.

Are you not angry with the owners for their complete lack of engagement with the fans? For their inability to even communicate the most basic of things to the people who support the club?
