There is just no end to it our troubles and all after all positives last weekend @ Wakefield and now this happens, we are absolutely f*cked now no one is going to buy us now.

Although the BCFC guys were interested (as were Park Avenue) only two bids were put forward, and not these two. Not that it appears the RFL read them anyway....

If i were a cynic i would suggest that the RFL have completely hamstrung the Bulls in every way possible with a view to liquidation, moving out of Odsal leaving the RFL with a nice BIG bowl to sell off to the highest bidder.....

To be honest, you have to be a complete and utter moron to post on another clubs board taking the mick when something like this has happened. It appears yorkshire has more than its fair share of small minded idiots with access to the internet.

For Bradford this may not be the disaster it first looks, altho it certainly wont seem that way atm. Everything i have heard from Bradford over the last 5 years or so is bad, there has been a rot at the club that they have struggled to fight effectively that has led to such a state. When a club of this size can be run in such a manner for such a long length of time without ever seeming to break the cycle something has to give.

To hear the constant complaining about the half money issue, we have to remember the club bought themselves back into SL with that money, by rights they should have been facing losing their franchise and relegation at that time. The club took a risk, and it turned out to be just another blunder the join the long list of blunders.

Look at Widnes, A smaller club than Bradford, were given a 3 match point deduction in a relegation year and a couple of months before the season only had 5 players. We fought on to survive that year, and turn the business around, we were then refused entry into SL based on our previous administration ( Punished twice ) but we battled on and now we are as strong as we have ever been off the pitch. And we did that with Less fans than Bradford have.

The club will only die if the supporters of Bradford dont feel the club is worth fighting for.

Looking at things, Bradford could realy do with a fresh start, with the supporters on board helping to run things and P&R in place it would not be too long before you were back, re-energised and ready to take RL by storm again. This is the perfect time to make a clean break and start again without all the baggage you have been accumulating over the last few years. Bradford have been limping allong now for a good few years, had you been a horse the black curtain would have been drawn and you would have been shot long before now. Hard as it seems now, look at this as on opportunity to take your club back and run it how it should always have been run.

Ignore the fools who find this situation funny, I remember driving home from headingly after Cas destroyed us in the play off final, listening on the radio as it was announced we were entering administration and feeling sick. Now i look back and remember that day as the bottom, its been a uphill battle since then but worth every minute.

I have no intention of annoying Bradford fans with this post, i just hope you have enough heart as a group of supporters to pull through this.

Good luck
don't say die just yet ... please

Here we go again. So, if the administrator is in charge again are we having the coaching staff made redundant again? So thats 10 or so people about to lose their jobs.

Have the RFL guaranteed players wages again?
If not, then the administrator will have to decide if the players can be paid. Worse case scenario, 25 full time players and 40 juniors will lose their jobs.

18months ago there was the back up plan of SL(europe) taking control of the club. Is that the RFL's agenda again?

Calm down.

Next step (tail between legs).... phone call:

Administrator: "Mr Lamb?"
Mr Lamb: "Yes"
Administrator "About your recent bid to buy Bradford Bulls..."
Mr Lamb: "Yes"
Administrator: " Maybe I was a bit hasty rejecting your offer. Can we talk?....please..."
......

The Administrator appears to have come a cropper by being so quick to put all his eggs in the 'Bulls 3' basket.

If Mr Lamb is still interested, I guess his revised offer will be lower than before. So the Administrator will be getting even less for the creditors of OK Bulls now.

So, as at now, the Bradford Bulls reverts to the ownership of OK Bulls! Are the Bulls 3 still the directors of OK Bulls or have they resigned?

If they've resigned, the owner (Mr K) needs to appoint a director quick.

- or the Administrator of OK Bulls needs to sell Bradford Bulls for whatever he can get. But the person buying the Club has first to be assessed as 'fit and proper' by the RFL.

Mr Lamb has already passed that test. So, if he wants it, looks like he can buy Bradford Bulls off the Administrator today (or maybe leave it till tomorrow morning) for next to nothing.

Either way, the Bulls 3 have really burnt their boats with the RFL after their statement today.

Lets not forget.

This is people's lives these bâstards at the RFL are playing with, for God's sake!!!!

We are beyond upset? THEY must be bloody devastated.

That statement fom the ex-board is pretty well dymamite. If they can support all they said (and if not, I guess they had better have deep pockets...) I have never read such a damning indictment of the conduct of a governing body.

There has to be some agenda running here. Maybe we will find out eventually what it is.

Tweet from Chev Walker seems like he's more than ready to give it everything he's got!

this is the same governing body that 6 club chairmen were not happy with but the others backed to the hilt.......they are an absolute shambles....

Indeed.


No no no, the club is in the hands of the administrator. It is nothing to do with OK any more.

If the administrator hasn't got a sale then he just liquidates the old company. It still has the assets - such as they are so they are all up for grabs. That presumably doesn't include the players who will all become free agents.


They are directors of BB2014 and their position is nothing to do with it now. BB2014's only involvement was bidding for, and having a temporary licence and provisional purchase of the business. As the offer to buy has now been withdrawn, BB2014 goes back to being a company with no function.


if you were him, (or any other interested person) would you be remotely interested? i can't imagine that anyone will be, not on these terms.


I think it is the RFL that lit the fire. But either way, the fat lady has not only sung, she's got changed and fecked off into the distance.
