Absoloutly in a nutshell mate

Well it's being reported in tomorrow's League Express that the club have still not filled it's accounts and another CCJ has been raised against the club.

The fun never stops in the Bradford Bulls off season

Did somebody mention a film star at some point earlier? Either in the media or on here?

Looks like Foggarty is involved.

...nor updated directors/persons of influence.... So far only means a fine. Think it's 2 months after accounts are due before a WUP is issued.

late can be over 6 months Mr Dog, and if you don't file accounts for a second year the penalty (maximum £1500) is doubled. The Directors are criminally liable for not filing which is a separate issue, and can result in them being fined, and the Registrar can enforce those fines. And the Registrar can strike the company off or dissolve it, but the company can still after that be restored to the Registry if it pays up every penalty. No winding up petition then.

If anybody wants to blow £6 then they can go on the trustonline.org.uk to do a search.

The 1st notice of strike off comes after 2 months with 2 months grace to comply - Batley seem to have them issued fairly regularly in early Oct with accounts due end of July (currently have one issued on 1st Oct) and also in March for not filing Confirmation Statements that are due in the preceding January. You would think someone there could learn to use a diary to remind them to file!

We understand Foggy (who generally acts as Wood's official 'minder') appears to have replaced Russ McFarlane as the Bull's interim general manager. He was reportedly seen at Odsal last week.

Stuart Duffy is still at the club hanging on like an expensive and wholly ineffective limpet - wonder why ?

This would suggest that Duffy is leaving but we're still paying him.

Que? Have we missed something mate. Where is the suggestion that the Duffer is leaving?

We would like to look at his role, and what he offers (if anything) to the club moving forward. But, as things stand (and possibly never!) we are not in control of the ongoing debacle that is the Bulls; now run by the muddled puppet Sawyer, a Charman who can't purportedly afford his airfare from Canada, and the back room alleged puppet master, Nigel. What a shambles.

Realistic rant over. Back to Dr F's main point - why does Duffy stay on despite offering zilch? Ask Nigel.

The accounts are now filed on companies house.
