Well this is all tiresomely predicable.
Bulls offseason checklist;

financial woe - tick
Owner proving to be not quite fit and proper - tick
Players upset and unfairly treated - big tick
Discussions over viability of Odsal - tick
Fans kept in dark and taken for granted - huge tick
ITK types popping up but cant possibly say who they are - tick
Me questioning why I bother - ****ing massive tick

The only surprising element is since this slow car crash death roll started many years ago is that I'm still mildly surprised each time we seemingly hit bottom we manage to find a slightly new and progressively worse way to stuff things up. (By we I mean the club management/ownership/RFL not our new/old ITK friends)

So I await actual official confirmation of something.

Well said mate, and in a forthright and succinct manner; we could learn something from you lol.

Can we presume that 'we' are the so called ITK 'friends' you refer to ? Latest rumour is that we are the taxman - we wish ! A walrus maybe :o

Well, you are the current new ITK, but you're not the first and wont be the last, like I say, predictable. I knew who a couple of the previous ITK's where and they were stirring when they really shouldn't have been with vested interests.

No worries though, all good to read, but I pretty much wont take anything re the bulls anymore at face value, from the club, rfl, or itk's. All lied too many times.

I'll just watch it play out and see if I have a club to support in 2020 and if I then think its worth my time and effort.

John Kear and Chris Brereton should know each other fairly well from their time at Wakey. I assume that will be helpful.

Lol, the usual crisis wouldn't be the same without a string of ITKs would it?

To be fair, it's fairly likely (but far from a given) that one of them will have some knowledge, full or partial. The question, in that case would be, are they putting their 'knowledge' in the public domain because they are bona fide public spirited people who believe we should know more of what is going on in the background or because they have a vested interest and wish to make trouble for the current management?

Given that the only "facts" given seem to be about, and detrimental to, the current owner my gut reaction says the latter, but who knows?

We are not bothered who we are really. If they are a collective of interested but ultimately not influential parties then who cares.

In other news we just walked past Hayley from Corrie in Leeds. She was wearing a huge fur coat as if shes just killed and skinned Bungle. Beat that.

You can tell some people get pure joy out of playing this mysterious character when we have issues (which is more often than not) unfortunately for our latest I think we are all too long in the tooth to fall for it.

Nothing the illuminati group called ‘we’ has mustered up isn’t in the public domain already with an added sprinkling of more to come out which we have all already suggested to be the case. In fact the only time you have made statements you have quickly back tracked on when challenged or credit card process and on the virtual terrace thread.

I’m sure we will continue to find your ramblings entertaining and I look forward to you enlightening us with more drivel after further facts emerge.

But if you want credibility, and I couldn’t care less who ‘we’ are, give us a simple cold hard fact that Is not yet known so we can come back here before next season and say you were right.

I’ll wait :)

:D well, if we Chuck enough darts some should at least hit the board if not the bullseye. :wink:

Seriously, I'd be cautiously optimistic if the new owner is someone who has a track record in rescuing, steadying and building a club like wakey.....mind, it wouldn't half be handy if that was combined with a money man too for once!
