Andrew Chalmers to sell Bradford Bulls to “investor group well known in rugby league circles having last served as a Director and owner in the Super League”

Was Nigel Wood not technically an owner of a super league club?

Nope. It’s an ex-wakey director who doesn’t have a pot to mickey in. Which means the RFL consider him a leading example of a good and proper person to run an RL club

Yeah, a bloke with a proven track record, of taking a club on the brink of bankruptcy and turning it around, paying off historic debts, building a competitive squad, with a sustainable business model, that now owns it's own ground and has credible plans for a stadium rebuild, whilst having rebuilt the club's standing and reputation within the business community and being considered a model for steady and planned growth...is the last thing a club like Bradford Bulls needs!

FYI, both he and Carter mortgaged their own homes to secure Wakefield's future - 30 mins before the club was to be wound up.

He has standards and morals. You won't like him.

Don't be snide. we've had white knights come in with good intentions and no money. They fail. The long suffering Bradford fans are fully entitled to be both sceptical and cynical.

And fans of other clubs are entitled to be "snide" at Bulls fans who are perennial victims and who are quick to judge Brereton, without knowing a thing about him.

We the fans ARE perennial victims ffs! The one set of people most normal fans wouldn't stoop to criticise is those of us who've stuck by the club throughout the turmoil.

Being cynical about a new owner is entirely reasonable given the catalogue of white knights we've had.

These white knights are all people who have stepped up to the plate to try and steady a well holed ship.

Its was the black knights form a decade ago who sold season tickets at £99 a head and pushed money into lawyers to aquire players in the incorrect manner who drive this sentiment.

Without a succession of white knights, who else would have stepped in?
Remember anyone can offer to buy a club, if there was someone making a better offer stood in the wings then the current management would bite their hands off as would the rl as a string bradford benefits many.






We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.

The title of this thread is rubbish.

Some of what dboy says is close to the same.

Ask Michael what he thinks of Brereton. Not a lot we hear.

Brereton spent five years as director at Wakefield Trinity, stepping down in November last year.
He experienced a number of highs and lows during his time there, admitting himself that he particularly enjoyed Super League survival in both 2014 and 2015.
Brereton was commended at the time of his depature by Chairman Michael Carter.
He said: "It is easy to forget the very difficult situation the Club was in the autumn of 2013.

"All that we have achieved at Wakefield Trinity over the past five could not have been achieved without the hard work and determination that Chris has displayed."

https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/ ... agreement/

now it sounds like you would like to hear somethings different wouldn't you, Chris once told me there's many that have a lot to say about how to run a club but are unwilling to do so.
its easy to criticise from the outside when you haven't put anything in
