Like to add, I was very critical of the old Bulls and those fans on here who covered for them, still am.
No club is bigger than the game and no club has the right to the top flight.
Correct, no club is bigger than the game and you'll probably find that Bulls fans are the most critical of the club (well the previous owners) and I for one am critical of the new owners too, even if I do hope they are right for us.

Sorry but you got what you deserved, the club, not the bulk of the fans obviously.
Can't agree with this. I 100% agree we should have been punish for our financial failings (overspending in our winning years, then subsequent admins/liquidation). We should have been punish as the rules stated. However who punishes financial issues by denying the club the very money they are entitled to and contracted too? So along with points deductions our central funding was slashed then given to other clubs which makes more disadvantage. When we were liquidated we should have been relegated to the bottom division (League 1) that's the rules with liquidation. All fans wanted a fresh start at the bottom league on 0 points. However we were forced to stay in the Championship, forced to take the lowest funding, banned from signing players (hence the loans from Leeds) which meant a threadbare squad filled with kids AND given a 12 point deduction as our 'price' to stay in the Championship?? How is that getting what we deserved? We deserved to be treated according to the rules and we weren't. We did deserve punishment but not what we were actually given. I'd have said the same about any club.

Now you’ve done your time imho and I’d love you back so long as it’s on merit.
I honestly think JK and Broughy can get you there. Wouldn’t keep you there but that’s another issue.
Personally I loved playing you lot, a team we always raised our game for. Nothing beats a ground full on all sides,
Best of luck
Yeah I'd prefer to come up on merit. Really looking forward to the season. Built a decent squad and the Championship is a great competition with some great teams in it. Love the games against Leigh, Featherstone, Widnes, Halifax and York. Yeah Brough will be good but as you say need investment in the squad to go up and stay up. JK could still do a job in SL, better than some coaches.
Hopefully we'll be playing you soon Who is it that you support again?
