The RFL was clearly sick of tintervening in Bulls financial underwriting by August 2012.
Ok was "given" the remains of the club.
The private nature of the agreement with him at August/September is finally been released into the public domain.
The RFL are sick of the games name at government level been tarnished with non payment of Tax Business rates et al.

So they gave Ok this.
A message from the outset.
Run it solvently.

For t5he last time I will tell forum members Bradford Bulls paid up to the salary cap in season 2012 -2013.
And contracts in place by December of 2013 show this would also have been the case this season.
Three big earners have departed.
So the club are currently paying under cap.

If creditors are £1.2 million (and that figure will vary with the latest revelation)it strikes me the RFL were attempting to ensure the Bulls did not hide behind "limited Liabilty" of shareholders in insolvency.

Ok will have to pay.
He knew what the "costs" of running the club were.
And completely failed in 12 months to correct haemoraging losses.

The creditors may live to see something?
I doubt it.
The lawyers will.

I know personally how angry Nigel Wood and the RFL were after the 2012 fiasco.

Some of the thuings that went on at the Bulls in OK"s tenure are simply unbelievable.

I see Adeybull has gone very quiet in recent months.
He knows a lot.

The concept of "limited liability" sits uncomfortably where 58 per cent of top professional sports clubs operate at a loss.

Well Done the RFL I say for making OK personally liable for his pathetic attempt to run the club solvently

A great deal of the above was posted at the time the three amigos tried to buy the club from Omar Khan and then, if I recall correctly. refused to pay him what they agreed, and then, again if I recall correctly alleged that the RFL 'advised' them not to pay Khan but to place the club into administration and buy it back with the RFL ratifying change of ownership without a points deduction. Mark Moore more or less said this prior to the points deduction and then the three of them accused of Ralph Rimmer of outright lying when the points deduction duly arrived as a colossal shock to them.

For what it's worth Khan has been demonstrated to have put money in (when nobody else did). Those purporting to buy the club did try to shaft him and welched on a deal. Despite this, I think they're almost certainly telling the truth about Rimmer.

Khan's alleged liberal use of the C word has surely been proved the most apposite commentary in this affair.

Well we can debate this for a while I would think... But I doubt any poster here has enough knowledge of what really happened - that info will remain inside the club for a little while longer..

I know for sure there is a book worth writing here and I would be right in the queue to buy it.

I have dropped two hints to who I perceive is the best person to tell the story - I hope when he retires he does so !

Don't know about Khan, Rimmer, Moor et al, but what I will say is tha Joynt went down with no-one near him and made no attempt to get up. And another thing, Withers never got his fingers to that ball.

A sentence that contains no errors whatsoever - and both events still rile me..

Next time we play Saints in the GF it could be two former foes on the pitch coming head to head as coaches. Very interesting!

The info is not within the club though. We are talking about OK Bulls, and the sale of shares by OK to MM and RW, and the deal by BBNL that fell through to buy the business. The current club isn't anything to do with any of that. Green started with a clean slate, and none of it is to do with him.

The liquidator that Omar appoints will be able to question all relevant parties and that includes the RFL. That's likely the next proper tranche of hard information we will get. RFL answering tough questions? Now that would be a first.
