whichever way one looks at it the conclusion remains the same.

With all OK"s actions I doubt the penalty will be rescinded in part or at all.

So its more of the same display needed for he rest of the season when full funding (and hope)returns.
Lets face it top 8 is beyond.
But we could be up for the cup with just 2 magnanimous performances.

And scrape through avoiding relegation.

Just read there were 3000 at Valley Parade last night to see City in a Youth final!
Free will have helped.

The Bulls fans need to believe that the Cup is attainable to help put to rest a lot of the misery of three years.

Can you give me a clue while your at it Tigertot.
You can PM me with your incendiary news.
I'm not that important and have never gone "bang".
A Mills Bomb in disguise?

Mills and Boon more like

Is he a bomb in a Bull?

This may be the last we hear of Lamb;

'It's with regret, after many attempts the new management @OfficialBullsRL @marcngreen don't want my assistance. Good Luck Bulls.'
And:
'@TheRFL @OfficialBullsRL Bulls; substantial investment with a team of professional business people was deemed not what the club needed.'

Definitely not Mills and BOOM....then!

Wait a minute, so at last the penny has dropped, you now accept what I have always said is the case - yet mystifyingly try to pretend the opposite!



Part of my whole POINT is that the club was sanctioned at a time when (presumably) the RFL assumed BB2014 were fully committed, they prematurely announced the sanctions intended against BB2014, but BB2014 dropped out. My consistent argument is that at that moment, the RFL needed to suspend any sanction, wait until new owner was found, consider their plans etc., and then decide on the sanctions. Instead we have the absurdity of the present situation.


And then you go an spoil it all. BBNL were NOT penalised. The RFL purported to sanction BB2014. Please just think about that for a second It really isn't hard. If sanctions against BBNL have ever been reported or announced - then where?*

There is another question arising from that, though. Rather oddly, absolutely no announcement has been made about sanctions against BBNL. Indirectly, the RFL have commented through the press that the 2 year half-money distribution sanction will remain - but do not explain how, or how much has been paid/withheld. So, WHAT is the financial sanction on BBNL for the club they bought having had an insolvency event? If it was fair and just that last time round it was a year's Sky money, then why is that not happening again?

The RFL did mention that the points deduction "stands" - without explaining how, or why, or whom it is a sanction again. So has BBNL been sanctioned 6 points or not? Of course, I have also answered that question - the RFL realised their points deduction announcement against BB2014 was premature, but have fudged the matter to try not to loook any more foolish.


Incidentally, given we got an unprecedented whupping for a year's funding last time round, why have we (seemingly) got Nil this time round?


So as you can hopefully now appreciate, neither of the above are correct statements.

But on the question of the distribution, it seems that the RFL are both claiming every penny of distribution back from OKB and from OK personally - yet continuing to shortchange BBNL. Nice work.

* [size=85I accept it is possible the RFL have privately signed a sanctions agreement with BBNL - like they did with OKB - but both parties are keeping it secret.[/size

Whatever the legal details a look at the leagur table shows -6 points.

As for the cash penalty when the rfl had their testosterone rush at the time of the first admin - which the other clubs gleefully accepted, perhaps now they have realised that such a massive cut back in funding effectively guaranteed tits-up 2 even if we had been "cutting our cloth" and not managed by a bunch of commercial and financial dopes.

Well given they're implementing that very rule going forward, I wouldn't hold out too much hope

Now that's comedy

That's a very long-winded way of showing you don't understand this.

In fact, it is very simple. Sporting sanctions such as a points deduction are applied to THE CLUB. Nothing to do with who owns the Club.
