I would like to see him step down and see Uncle Gary form Leeds take over. The game would be in better hands and would see better decisions taken.

Could what I told you a bit since be a little closer to coming true???

Certainly knows how to run a club does big Nige *ss*.

Let's have a look at the evidence



Big Nige rumoured to be leaving RFL end of this season

Bulls firmly rooted to foot of table and looking doomed

Andrew Chalmers told me we will be back in super league in a couple of years



Are the jigsaw pieces starting to fit together???

But Chalmers WOULD say that, wouldn't he? He isn't going to say "Fat Nige parachuted us in to maintain fixtures for one more year, and fleece the Bulls fans before that bolt to the back of the head at the end of the season" is he? And lets face it, the RFL have hardly covered themselves in glory in dealing with our past administrations and choosing owners either.



If they wanted us to be in SL why not limit the points deduction for this year? Or why not give full funding to us? Why not bend the rules to allow us to have emergency signings instead of playing with a skeleton team? Why orchestrate our ascension it in such a ridiculously underhand manner?



(If, by some miracle it is true however, it would show how corrupt the sport is however.)

No. No, they're really not. The implication (I presume) is this weird 'behind the scenes thing' that we can't talk about but I call bollox, because to even dream of playing in SL, you need SL players. We in comparison will be part-time number-maker-uppers next year, and we haven't got ten bob let alone a coup of million to suddenly buy up a whole new SL squad, so any talk of SL now is to me truly delusional.



Blackpool apart, (and we still lost) anyone who's watched the last month of miserable 50 point floggings, and now the Dewsbury debacle, would laugh at the idea of us being in SL but in 2 years time we won't even have the best players that we currently do have to call on. We will have nothing.

I suppose there is the whole 'relocate a franchise' option that keeps getting mooted. This notion that we will suddenly have Widnes Vikings or Salford Red Devils 'become' Bradford Bulls - in other words, we inherit their entire squad.



I don't think it will happen for one minute, in fact I don't want it to. The whole idea of us either being bumped up to SL or even miraculously being reprieved of relegation from the Champ sounds utterly corrupt and I don't want to be part of it.

Over the past few years and subsequent administrations, the advantages that the Bulls had over other clubs was the fantastic support and a very good youth system (incidentally mainly financed by supporters). Not the Bulls brand, the management, certainly not the team or our stadium. It now seems as though all our decent youth players have a season (or two if we're lucky) with us and then go to higher ranked teams with a less successful system. And now thanks to the ineptitude of the RFL and subsequent owners we are on the verge of losing that support, without which we don't have a club. I would stop watching RL if we went under as would a lot of Bulls fans I think, so that's more loss of support (about 4,000 fans or a Huddersfield home game) that the RL can not afford to lose. Thanks Nige and Ralph you will always be known in the future as great visionaries.

It is not beyond the realms of possibility that within a couple of years the SL will contain London, Toulouse, Toronto and Catalans. How long will SL exist with the awat support generated by these teams? Like Bradford Bulls I can't help but think professional rugby league is done. All the administrators at Red Hall should hang their heads in shame.

As a Fax fan I won't go into meltdown if you survive - as long as the fat controller is somewhere else he can't come to Fax !! Not that we'd want him nor should you what's he ever done at Red Hall except boost canteen profits???



Also you guys survive on a technicality and big nige gets a cushy job in your board why bother going into meltdown lol that's probably what will happen anyway

Big Nige will save the day

Can't see any meltdown taking place, unless it's extra cheese on Nige's burger. You are more than welcome to him, his visionary stance at Fax was that he called us the Blue Sox against most people's better thoughts.
