Job Losses : Wed Dec 18, 2013 1:34 pm  

Do we know which roles have been made redundant at the club? On the grapevine it's community support staff, of administrative support staff? Has any roles been lost that directly impact the first team squad or player welfare?

Judging by Twitter, Richard Tate lost his job. He was (according to bio) the Development Officer.

I get the feeling from Duane Straugheir giving away a load of Bulls gear today, he may have lost his too, although I'm guessing on that one. He works for the community side in some capacity.

The T&A article concerning FC makes clear there have been losses in the coaching support area but does not specify which or how many.FC is clear that when the notice period ends( mid January) it will be difficult to manage.
He also explains that there have been approaches for our players which given RHP's update last Friday must mean it has happened since last Friday. The RL Express speculates London ( who have some signatures on contracts already they say) are after Bradford players (plural) mentioning Sammut.
FC says he can't sign new players (including Evans) until some leave

Sammuts been on twitter today that he's had an approach from London but as it stands at moment he staying.

Presumably London have not approached directly but through the club

Way tweet was worded sounded like they'd contacted him direct. Don't think that's an issue though as club gave all players permission to try and sort deals out. Presumably club would still have final say on whether they released someone or not.

It will be a bit of a sickener to lose players to London under the circumstances. Ironic even.

The thing is, London aren't really in any better shape than us. Although the club might have told players they can leave, you'd hope the players or their representative would think twice before leaping out of the frying pan and into the fire.

I saw him mention to someone that they'd been in touch this week, but I can't see where he says he's not going. Doesn't say he is either, but it doesn't look like a full denial to me. He only really denies that any deal is done (yet).

At the end of the day, the guy is more messed around and has more worries than us, I'd suspect. If I were a player I doubt I'd know what day it was...
