Quote: pyeman "I have a soft spot for Bradford and have every sympathy for their plight, however the idea of the sl owning them stinks to high heaven and means there cannot be a level playing field when issuing franchises.
I think he sport seem like its deliberately trying to lose all credibility at times.'"
I have no time for Bradford what so ever to be honest, mainly due to the utterly boring brand of RL they've insisted on playing for so long which ruins the spectacle of this great sport.
Now the inflated issue that I have is that this action will set a precedent. It effectively tells all the other clubs that they needn't bother managing their finances, remaining solvent, try to increase their revenue, or spend within their means because the RFL will just bend over backwards to fix things. The actual precedent they should be setting is one where if a club is unable to live within its means and within the rules then tough - they have to suffer the consequences.
I seriously hope that if Cas have agreed to this SL take over of the Bulls, that there are some conditions in it to safeguard our future should we ever be in the same position.
