Since the 3 wise monkeys walked away maybe mystic Gledhill was right after all about better people arriving it just took a bit longer than was said.

After saying all that what's your thoughts on Mr Green plus what is your hope for 2015.

I suppose, like a lot of others, I was suspicious of Marc Greens motives, but grateful for any white knight prepared to come to our rescue. The result however has been something resembling stability (wow! how we have yearned to be able to say that) The whole place now has a good feel about it, and you get the sense that good foundations are being laid.

Sad not to be in Super League, but delighted to have my club to support and for that I thank Marc unreservedly. Wish for 2015? like every Bulls supporter, to be out of this division and back up top after just one year away.

Happy Christmas to every Bulls Forum reader, and the best for us all in 2015.

Without wanting to tempt fate we seem to be having our longest period of stability for several seasons. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come. I just hope all the days of financial problems and legal battles are now firmly behind us.

My hopes for 2015 are for a return to the top flight. It's going to be difficult but I remain optimistic. We seem to have a decent coaching staff and more strength in depth.

I am looking forward to the new Bulls side with confidence. Mark Green has kept to his word, Thankfully. As far as the Super League is concerned that can wait, the team has a really good opportunity to gel and mix it up in the Championship (There are some tidy teams in there)) It is brilliant that we have got SL friendlies as a preview of what the team is possible of. Not long now :-)

Now we are sharing our festive thoughts, can I just say that irrespective of whether you celebrate the birth of Christ or have no faith, I still hate you all.

Green is the man who put the club into administration, and then presided over our relegation from SL. Given those facts it's strange how he has such widespread support and I suppose trust, but he has. I think the feelgood factor has slowly grown with a combination of
* we haven't been asset stripped
* we show no sign of leaving Odsal
* months and months of nothing going wrong, no panics, no emergencies and no bad news
* a slow but steady stream of reasonable-looking team and staff rebuilding; in particular everyone seems reasonably optimistic about the Lowes-Harrison combination
* more actions than words
* the prospect of being a big fish in the first part of next season and having a (comparatively) winning team rather than like the last few years being condemned to low-table dross
* we at last seem to have a plan

I mean, even the new shirts are nice. I hate it all being so upbeat. I'm not used to this.

You see I miss Mystic Eddie and I feel that some sort of misanthropic viewpoint needs to remain. I'm happy to take that mantle.

I suppose it was always on the cards that, sooner or later, "better people were arriving", but, hey ho, he didn't get many right, so we can be gracious and let him have that one!

I, for one , think Marc has been wonderful for this club and was just what we needed. My problem is, that after the last two or three years, we've now had one year of stability and, my usually sunny disposition seems to have taken a back seat,' cos I still seem to be still looking for the dark cloud which always accompanies a silver lining. Recent years have been pretty horrible though, but I'm sure it will pass, given time, for I'm pretty certain Marc is the real deal.
