I find it an amazing coincidence that this was done the day after a record tv deal. Eamonn Mcmanus claimed yesterday that the tv deal would ensure all sl clubs can remain solvent.

It shouldn't matter how long a club is in administration for the fact of he matter is that the bulls were in administration before being sold. I do feel for the bulls fans but equally for wakey fans who must be seething.

IMO a points deduction is a must and a bar minimum of 8 points

Despite the maximum punishment being 6 points?

Is 6 points still the maximum even if you go bust 2 years running? If so it should double from the previous year.

Just a question but if the Bulls do get a points deduction can I change my prediction for this years finishing positions?

There should be a points deduction by the RFL, to do otherwise is just pure corruption... even more so when the RFL have a vested interest in SL team in Bradford playing out of a stadium they are leaseholder of!!!

If, as the ruse the RFL are clearly trying to hide behind, that all this is to do with is get rid of Khan then every single other creditor bar him should be paid in full, not negotiated settlements then it should be a 2 point deduction. This must of course include HMRC in FULL given OK Bulls are subject to WUP by HMRC... which the RFL appear to be ignoring... conveniently!!!

If they pay HMRC, even in a settlement agreement but to their satisfaction & a large percentage of other creditors on negotiated settlements then it should 4 points... like WTW.

Anything less should be a 6 point deduction, plain & simple.

Not to issue at least a 2 point deduction is just bent because it is grossly unfair on WTW & London who have cut their cloth to avoid this potential outcome, more so when WTW were told a pre-pack was fame over in SL.

This really smells... period!

It is a complete mess at Northern, how long will this lot of new owners last?. As far as I can remember they still have not made the 400,000 worth of savings they need to make. It is time the RFL carried out a full investigation into the goings on at Northern and bar the people who have put the club in such a mess from every running a rugby league club. This ploy about going into admin today has all the hall marks of what Ken Bates did at Leeds United when they got relegated, and at least the Football League saw through it and gave United a points deduction. I hope the RFL have the balls to do this, but I am not sure they do, otherwise other clubs will pull the same stunt.

The people I feel sorry for are the Northern supporters who have had to put up with such miss management of their club since 2004 or possible earlier. As I said earlier I think this story will run and run over the next few years until something is done.

Vanity ownership of sporting clubs - never ceases to amaze me how businessmen (its mainly men) can't resist the allure of putting money, their own money or others, into something that will never make a profit as long as its got a hole in its backside (or two), would they do that in any other business - possibly if that failing business had its own nylon shirt in garish colours and hordes of the public adored it so that the businessman could strut around his local area in savior mode.

Buy a season ticket FFS, its cheaper and you don't look like such a burk when your (and other peoples) money runs out.

As others have already stated this smacks of absolute corruption and deception: the RL is probably petrified of losing one of its 'top' clubs. Pity the Wakey supporters (and London)

wakefield and london have been shafted while the RFL once again turn a blind eye to goings on at odsal

The super league competition is an unfair league by it's very structure. Only to get worse in 2015 with the changes. No surprises in the RFL turning a blind eye with double standards, when it comes to more unfair dealings.
