[i.....each department had been cut by “around twenty per cent.”

My Hunter-Paul said the coaching, ticketing, retail, lottery, stadium management, conference and banqueting and commercial departments had all been affected.[/i

They cut back the shop's hours and have run volunteer sessions for the last two years where (among other things) fans have worked in the shop, painted the terraces, performed ground safety work and cleared snow just to get winter games on. I'd copy up some of the emails they sent out requesting volunteers but I doubt that the facts would stem the diatribe.

Well if the books still don't balance, then you need to offload staff completely and or raise income.

If you can't do that, your business is unsustainable and you need to liquidate it.

Don't come back with the "half sky money" bullocks...the board knew that income didn't exist 12 months ago and should have budgeted accordingly.

Think you've posted on here in the last 24 hours more than any of us Bulls fans

Any particular reason for that?

Yeah, Bradford should cut back on their staff and make redundancies. [url=http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/10877759.Job_losses_as_Bradford_Bulls_implement_cuts/?ref=mrOh wait a moment[/url

Great. We may have financial troubles, but there is a world-class financial guru in our midst.

Please, guru. Please share some more of your valuable and brilliant insights into the world of high finance, to which your breathtaking revelations so clearly reveal you belong.

It can only be, such is the stratospheric level of your economic wizardry, that you are a multi-billionaire. Please, drop us a billion from your small change, so we lesser mortals who are not worthy can eat the crumbs from your bountiful table.




The funny thing is, you probably actually think you're saying something clever, while giving us all a rare laugh in troubled times at your halfwitted aphorisms. You can't see what a=#BF0000 cheeky chops it makes you look, and that's funny. You make Baldrick seem sharp. For that, at least, thanks.

"You need to offload staff completely"



yes, i can see how that works! No players, no gatemen on the turnstiles, yep, that's the answer.

Trouble is it is pretty much what we already got now. It doesn't look too clever, to be honest.

I would love to see Wakey try and play a season with £600,000 less than all the other clubs.....not including that £600,000 dished out to the clubs. Plus 6 point relegation. Would survive half the season, the Bulls have done it 2 years on the bounce and we are still here and competing....nothing short of amazing!!!!

I wouldn't say amazing. It's a good team you can't afford, that's why you've been in admin twice in two years and just been docked 6 points. Any team could do that.

I think the cutting of your money was crazy!

But the board knew about it from day 1, it wasn't just sprung on you.

The club should have spent money accordingly and not spent money they knew they didn't have.

Well I won't lower myself to your level with the ridiculous insults.

Schoolchildren are taught that more money coming in than going out is good, the reverse being less good.

If you know you earn £x, don't spend £xxx.

Are you deliberately not understanding on purpose just to be annoying?

Unless you're running an organisation with a guaranteed income, you don't know at the start of the year how much cloth you have to cut. One of the fundamental mistakes Khan made when agreeing to the Sky fine was to assume he could generate more cloth elsewhere. That the Coral Stand was an under utilised potential goldmine and that the pop world would flock to Odsal. It wasn't that the Bulls didn't cut their cloth accordingly, they just didn't realise that they hadnt any cloth to cut.
