Rambo Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Just read an article in the T&A that states that Chris Brereton has pulled out of the consortium that is attempting to takeover at Bradford but Mark Sawyer is now leading the deal without Brereton.. How is this not a conflict of interests with his ownership of Dewsbury or is he planning on relinquishing his role at Dewsbury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been common knowledge that he was part of the consortium since the outset although also reported that his 'stake' will be lower than that which would make him a person with significant control so no conflict of interest. What the end game is though is anyone's guess.......Dewsford B**s anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsey The Ram 97 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 If he's leading the takeover then we could be getting sold but I'll wait until the club actually come out with news as big as that before having an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle to see how it can’t be construed as a conflict of interest if you have a stake in 2 teams playing in the same division (no matter how small the stake).

I don’t like the sound of this to be honest but I won’t comment until BSJ has explained it to us all. I do remember that MS was very impressed with the Bulls set up when he spoke at the forum.

I have no pecuniary interest in our club, with the proposed consortium nor with any other RL club. I read the same as everyone else in the RL press and believe about half of it. I am very concerned with our relationship with Bradford and where it might lead, however.

Blind side johnny Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 It's a shame that there will be no Dewsbury fans at their forum tonight, or will there? (I won't be at either meeting just to be clear.) I would like to know who leads the meeting and who addresses their fans. As far as I am aware the current club is still owned 100% by Andrew Chalmers, unless anyone knows any better, so it might be questionable what pledges or assurances can be made.
