Medley joins unpaid Bradford Bulls coaching ranks (From Bradford Telegraph and Argus)

Its really good news Medley is back on a voluntary basis, but what is happening now, it said earlier in the week an announcement would be made by friday, surely they know by now if this consortium is buying us or not, its all this not knowing which is grating on my nerves

Well said batleybull, i'm pretty sure its in the hands of the RL at the moment and whether they will sell the lease back to the odsal, or not! Fingers crossed!

I haven't heard if Duckett is working for nothing. I doubt he would be retained anyway when the new owners come on board as he was at the helm of the ship that began to sink. Tasker is a certainty for CEO to me.

* The Bulls Store will be closed today and tomorrow as it restocks following the huge success of yesterday’s Mega Sale
how is it a success if you sell at what can only be a loss or at best cost price?
rfl should keep the lease to safeguard rugby at odsal.

strange how any story with asian links cannot be commented on?
even the bulls story with picture of buyer does not allow it.
paranoid or what?!!!
grooming story?

Closed to restock. Just like most other closing down sales - a bit of a con.

Just seen that sale is not on today having driven to Odsal. Took about 60 quid in change bags to donate to the cause of people working for not. There were cars there but gates shut and nobody about. What we need is a central point of communication during this. Website is down and news is only picked up via articles like this if you come across them.

Communication has been shocking thats true, I imagine the administrator has plenty to do but its not good for the fans with few positives to cling on to, hopefully with the extension being a couple more weeks all will be revealed soon, on a lighter note what will the new club be called ? any ideas, I have heard all the Bhuna , Bhaji and Balti quips but seriously anyone got good ideas ? can they go back to Bradford Northern ? or will it be something completely new ?.

I thought the aim was to turn the money tied up in stock into cash. All of a sudden it's an episode of The Apprentice.

It's only the operating company name that will change. We'll still be Bradford bulls

Bradford Bankrupts has a kind of ring to it, you could contact Lehman Brothers Bank to be a shirt sponsor.
On a brighter note, the Mighty Rhino's are in the challenge cup final, more cash coming to SL's most profitable team.
See you all next week!
Marching on together....

Don't be slagging Duckett off he was just shovelling the **** up other people left behind, and no one would empty the skip

why do the rhinos borrow the lufc chanting .. ?? Have the football fans given up on seeing quality football ..

and started glory seeking into RL ?

I as a lifelong Bradfordian have always had a great affinity for Northern and the Bulls.

A rugby union and football man mainly I have not had as much time to spend at Odsal as I would have liked these past 20 years.

Those pictures of fans ordinary people queing for two or three hours to try and help,the pledge appeal,the desperation of ordinary people like YOU who have been let down by shocking management (financial not on the pitch) have rendered me quite emotional.

With that said I have read your constant snide renderings of ill tidings for several weeks now Shelf Rhino.

Remember in this fragile economic modern world ,this could be your club next.Think there was a bit of PFI funding behind your clubs expansion and Carnegie stand build.That could come back to haunt you just as the Harris saga has for the Bulls.

That said I"m coming out of retirement next friday to watch the BUlls.I"ll still know the way to sneak into Headingley for nowt as I did 45 years ago.
And £20 will be going straight to Bullbuilder if I manage it.

With all your snide nastiness I cannot wait to see those Bullies so pysched up.

I hope they give you one hell of a beating.

Then you can meet me in any cobbled back street you care to mention.

And for just one moment I will let you stand inside my shoes.

Then you will see what a drag it is to see you.

Rugby League and the fellowship of sport needs people like you like a hole in the head.Preferably yours.

the sefish rhino is only 5 ft 1 so lets not BULLY him ...

he has the mental age of a 12 year old ..so let him enjoy his day ..

We have to humour him and help with his self esteem issues ...

His social worker might be taking him to wembley...they have lost 5 times since 1999 i think .. Murrayfield , Cardiff , Wembley ..

All that expense and all that pain..

So lets wish him well ..and that he can soon afford to buy a house in Leeds and discover the evening post has a forum ..and that is a Leeds paper ...

How does a university afford sponsorship of a ground and team ...

misuse of public funds i dont know ?

perhaps 9k per year student fees / charges ..

and we as tax payers have had to keep half of Leeds and Halifax in a job with senior level financial ineptitudes at HBOS that make Lehman bros look like winner..

Lloyds got the shock of a lifetime there ...so hopefully this all helps the selfish rhino with his world perspectives from stone chair ..

remember hes only 4 ft 9 in. so don't BULLY him..

Were tuned in.

I"ll leave him for my daughters cat to lick then.

Yes 9 grand a year,that came in when the government realised what a complete and utter balls up they had madein the PFI funding the overexpansion of universities these past 15 years.

The 25 year cost of these Private Finance Initiatives are truly horrendous.

To give many three years learning how to take a photograph or crochet some needlework.

Instead of investing in proper apprenticeships teaching people skils with their hands.

A government that now seeks to put all Britains economic woes at the feet of the poor.

Not very sensible IMO Mr Caddick.

So when shelf rhino seeks to comment that he is sick that the Bulls have wasted taxpayers money we cry Touche.

Quis Pro quo.

Think that will be lost on the small brain of stone chair.

I hear from shelfrhino he was at the front of the queue but was only after a shirt to wash his car.

they have xs but with beer belly built in for selfishrhino ..

Its more like a pollishing muff if he gets one in his own size ..

we appreciate his support ...he was in front of me .. I thought his guardians had abandoned him ..but it was definitely the Leeds refugee ..

who has disrespected the Bradford welcome and housing..

COYB ..

this week we get new owners ..

Bradford's one direction might play Odsal as a benefit ..With rumours that 50k will be at the gig .. cometh the hour the Bradford lad could well come good ..

And i here its only 4 points ..and Hull lost to Catalan..

great servant Paul Medley ..

i remember in one of his last matches away at headingly '97 ish.. he got the ball and ran in an 80 metre try .. A forward with genuine speed ..

He was one of the last Northern carry over link players with Fairbank..

The old style forward and the modern era forward ...

There will be an outcry he if he and potter are not re- employed at the soonest opportunity ..

Well if thats true NB I think my young daughter could well be a convert for life.

One Direction would be capable of breaking the record of 102000 for that challenge cup match.

All this is starting to sound much more positive.

COYB.

Shelf will definately be there for one direction, i see the leeds rhinos have said all tickets sold by bradford for this week will go to club, what a fantastic gesture and shame on all the ones on here who slag leeds off.

I wouldn't wash my car with a cheap scratchy Kooga shirt, if it was an ISC, well that would be different, quality not cheap tat.
ISC only deal with quality teams though, so no chance of the dulls ever getting them anytime soon.
Can I just thank Northernbulls wife for donating her old shirt to me though, if the weather ever improves it will come in very handy as a car cover to keep the sun out and the dust off my motor. Cheers Northern, she's a big lass but they say there's someone for everyone.
