MS pre-empted the question Nick by declaring early on, in his introduction, that he wants Dewsbury to beat Bradford EVERY time that they play - no question, no ifs and buts. Enjoy Anglesey. 2 Quote Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lupset Ram 101 Report post Posted November 4, 2019 You're right. Mark did mention many things. For a comprehensive insight, forum viewer's just need to look on the Rams website and read his comments. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Les Tonks Sidestep 2,191 Report post Posted November 6, 2019 10 minutes ago, Blind side johnny said: Nobody asked the question LTS. Do you know the answer? No I don't but according to the report on the Rams' website Rams Chairman Mark Sawyer started the evening off with details of his involvement at Bradford Bulls. Mark confirmed his shareholding in the Bulls, which is 24.99% which is the allowed limit set by the RFL where by someone can have shares in another club. Mark gave a few examples where this has happened in the past and so it isn’t a new situation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The specific example that I do recall is of Leneghan holding major shareholdings in London and Wigan at the same time. I can't remember any others being cited.

Not an issue with MS, but the whole thing has a whiff about it where rules seem to be ignored, statements contradict and things in general don't add up. If it were another chairman and club, not MS and Dewsbury, you'd be asking the same questions!! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it were another chairman and club, not MS and Dewsbury, you'd be asking the same questions!! It is our Chairman’s 24.99% investment in shares of the Bradford club and we supporters’ quandaries about that investment which brought about the Fans’ Forum. Does that answer your point, or if not, what will? Quote Legs, Dews, Legs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you prefer fantasies then make up your own answers. In addition MS doesn't hold 100% of the shares in DRLFC, just as KN doesn't in BRLFC.

If it were another chairman and club, not MS and Dewsbury, you'd be asking the same questions!! OK, but it might help if you asked the questions of those who know the answers. We simply know what we hear at forums and continue to have implicit trust in MS to act in the best interests of Dewsbury. This might not be enough for you but, for now, it is all that Rams fans ask.
