86.jpg Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing.
We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.
But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg |

Trying to sort it out afterwards, when the winners and losers have set agendas, makes it a nightmare.'" That would have been ridiculous though - pre-empting things that were by no means certain. The RFL would have been mad to make that kind of comment at that stage.

| Quote: Wilbred T Pricklepop "The rfl are in a situation where, if it comes to that, due to the MM weekend fixture it's impossible for them to be fair to everyone.
If they allow pre liquidation results to stand, and post liquidation results to be a bye, we've gained 2 points on other teams because we play them 3 times.
If they expunge all results against bulls, we've been screwed over necause we play them 3 times.
But, that's what happens when you f*ck about having some teams play each other more than others.'"
One way is to expunge all games, except the MM result

Certainly not ideal but best of a bad job as I said. They do actually need a process for dealing with clubs dropping out of SL but because the existing approach, simply expunging records, just doesnt deal with the quirk caused by MW. They could perhaps have made a low key announcement covering the general issue rather focusing specifically on the Bulls. Whatever decision they make if the Bulls fail to complete the season, the problem will not go away. Who's to say it will not happen again next year?

| To me that looks as if this potential buyer has had a quick scan through the books and thought it's gone too far and isn't worth saving maybe!?!

| Can someone explain to me how if the Bulls do get liquidated and they form "newco" how can they be allowed to complete there fixtures for the remainder of the season?
A little confused.

| Don't know the fine detail but the RFL have said they'll allow any newco to complete their SL fixtures pending a review when the season finishes.
I think that's the way ahead rather than giving teams byes and the points and having to re-locate a full squad mid-season.

Who is going to be playing for this "newco"? If they're existing players then they'll still need their salaries paying, if those players have been sold the money will go directly to old creditors.
Even if "Bulls 2012" field a team of kids with a skeleton office staff they'll still need to find the basics of ground rent, player insurance, medical staff, transportation, electricity, payroll taxes and on and on and on. If season tickets are honoured, this will be without any discernable income. If not, then they have the gates from 4 home games (London and Widnes included) to pay for everything until October.
The RFL have simply not thought through their hopeful notion that Bradford could complete the season after liquidation.

| The statement to me implys the newco would pick up the running costs and salaries etc etc then it would be reviewed at the end of the year.

So the newco has to be willing to burn £100-200k per month? In that case why would there even be a newco?

I think we'll be playing for the Bulls for free! Baggies Number 4!
