| Bradford Bulls deducted 6 points by the RFL
and
BRADFORD BULLS chairman Mark Moore has announced that Bradford Bulls 2014 Ltd, the holding company which had a bid to purchase the club accepted last week, has today withdrawn its offer.
On Thursday, Leeds-based administrator David Wilson accepted an offer from Bradford Bulls 2014 Ltd, which took initial control of the club after its former holding company, OK Bulls Ltd, entered administration last month, as the strongest.
However, commenting on behalf of the board of directors, Mr Moore has spoken of how he and his colleagues were left with little choice but to withdraw their proposal due to impending sanctions from the sport's governing body.
In a statement, the Bulls chairman said: “It is with great sadness and frustration that we have been led to this point.

| Its sad that its the case but I am actually happy about this. They will finally be punished for outright lies and fraud during the license application process when they are relegated at the end of the season.

| there was nothing wrong with their submission. It is perfectly reasonable to project season ticket sales will double when you increase the price from £100 to £250

"25th February 2014
BRADFORD BULLS chairman Mark Moore has announced that Bradford Bulls 2014 Ltd, the holding company which had a bid to purchase the club accepted last week, has today withdrawn its offer.
On Thursday, Leeds-based administrator David Wilson accepted an offer from Bradford Bulls 2014 Ltd, which took initial control of the club after its former holding company, OK Bulls Ltd, entered administration last month, as the strongest.

In a statement, the Bulls chairman said
I must say after reading this there needs to be some kind of investigation into the whole affair from truly independent auditors. It is clear that the people charged with running the game are not only corrupt and incompetent but devious and twisted to an unfathomable level.

| Agreed Nat but we all know that the RFL hierarchy, though seemingly incompetent, are untouchable.
On another point, I don't wish further ills on Bradford but I think we at Fax need to get our own house in order before somebody decides to call in the RFL, which would be a disaster.

Who is saying our house is not in order, who is going to call in the RFL, the Luddites forum?
I think the Bradford situation is very sad, it's also a no win situation for the RFL, ignore administration, don't deduct points so the new owners can take over and they will get criticised, deduct points and they get criticism. Either way it's a mess mostly of the clubs own doing.
I for one hope it gets sorted and Bradford Northern return.

Of course they are untouchable, like FIFA, EUFA and every governing body in sport, who in those organisations are going to vote for a change. Take FIFA, Jack Warner, Blatters second in command, wanted changes, result dirty tricks brigade moves in, career destroyed.
As I say who in any organisation is going to risk falling of their gravy train?
Nigel is head of the table with his acolytes feeding, and offering crumbs to the minions below them.
So who will vote for a change?

| Its not good for the game but whilst I am no fan of the RFL what are the new owners of Bradford Bulls wanting special dispensation because it is Bradford Bulls?
Any governing body should stick to the rules of the sport it governs in my opinion, people seem to forget back in 2003 we copped for a points deduction in the year we won one game so ended up on Nil points which looked terrible, I would have liked some special dispensation as we were relegated anyway!

Any one buying a business would want assurances that they will get a return on their investment, Bulls in Super League would give them that, Bulls in a lower League would not.
It's that simple.
On this occasion the RFL are right, the potential investors were wrong/greedy, incidentally don't the RFL own Odsal?

The RFL have a different slant on the goings on
RFL Chief Operating Officer Ralph Rimmer has issued the following statement in response to criticism of the governing body’s action during the most recent insolvency event at Bradford Bulls

Blimey that is some statement the gloves are off well and truly, the big thing in that is the debt to the HMRC. That is a big chunk of money and the thing is they are bringing the game of RL into disrepute. I have to say again WE took our medicine in 1999, 2003 and 2006 when we were skint and begged and borrowed to stay alive. Football clubs like Leeds Utd, Rangers and Portsmouth have taken a hit so what is so special about Bradford Bulls?
