Quote ="belcki"In addition, can I say that a fellow female, Kersten England, is the Chief Executive of Bradford Council. Her role is however, somewhat limited. She has no voting rights re policy matters such as the future of Odsal. Fact. Unlike the Councillors (who keep themselves at a distance), Kersten England may posibly be friendly with certain persons, but again as Chief Exec she herself has no voting rights. That, rightfully, is the job of the Labour led Council Executive. They have to have the utmost integrity. They will surely do what is right for Bradfordians, and us Bulls fans, as we hope would the current Bulls incumbents. It is good to see that Damian Irvine may have some influence. Kersten Engand's role as the Council's (highly paid) Chief Executive is to implement instructions and policy matters. She does not have the authority to decide or vote on policy matters, such as a re-assignment of the head lease of Odsal from the RFL to another party, even if that were a likelihood. Kersten takes instructions from the Council's Executive, the 6 Labour Councillors led by Cllr Hinchcliffe. Not the other way round. ">Fact.'" I see the phony wars have begun already. As far as Damian Irvine is involved, I have nothing against him, but he is one of the names that was oft bandied about during our troubles - he didn't come through then and so there's no reason to do so now. In fact, any fellow males from that time can do one.

It wouldn't be RL without club owners having a public pi55ing contest.

Yeah he needs to stop the mud slinging. Im sure he's had plenty thrown at him at various meetings from the usual cliques and maybe he wants to challenge th. But he needs to stop it. The point he makes (which i think are normally right) get lost with his mud throwing.
