What annoys me is your club/players are always blameless which is laughable, a poster blames Whitehead when clearly Bateman put it on twitter first to bring it to everyone's attention.
Koppy walked out of a club obviously unable to pay its players and honour their contracts anymore, IMO the Bulls should not have a leg to stand on, the club that he was employed by died along with debts from what I'm led to beleive.
If I am wrong on that please correct me an confirm that not one person was out of pocket from the club folding and restarting (you don't need to include fans of other clubs or the clubs themselves that helped you out with handouts).
If I am correct then I feel that Huddersfield Giants should not a payed you a penny for Kopczak and the £20k should have gone towards monies owed as Kopczak was an asset of the old club.
Can't see how the new club should be allowed to cream off all the profits but wring its hands of the debts or am I missing something?'"
There are so many things wrong with what you've put, that I don't know where to start correcting you. In terms of Bulls players not getting paid, from this recent one it's the players not grasping the date they get paid. As for last year, the players were paid their full wages for the whole year.
Yes, there may have been people out of pocket when the old Bulls holding company went out of business. But I'm sure if you check there were plenty of people out of pocket when Huddersfield absorbed Sheffield Eagles, so your club is hardly whiter than white in this area so I wouldn't go throwing stones around if i were you.
In terms of Kopczak being an asset to the old club, that's hardly the point given that his contract was transferred to the new holding company which means he became an asset for the new club. But at least you're not trying to deny that he'd agreed to move BEFORE then, even though the rest of SL, including Huddersfield, had agreed not to attempt to sign any Bradford player until AFTER the situation at Bradford was resolved and the player and his new club LIED about this to both Bradford and the RFL in order to try and avoid having to make any payments for a player who WAS under contract and was approached before the anti-tamper deadline.
