I'm sure the RFL haven't just offered to pay the wages while Greens in Ibiza. It may have been a reply to a question along the lines of "what if Marc Green can't find the money to pay us?"

Correct, they run to end of November

This is all a right kick to the nads. I was just starting to think we had turned the corner as well.
All of the medium to long term decisions MG was making looked to be good, the academy & the ground being the obvious ones. Would take 3, 4 years or so for us to see the benefits but the foundations looked good.
And now, a short term cash flow problem, based on poor performances on the pitch is going to bring everything tumbling down again.
We need cash, soon. The only marginal silver lining is we have a better medium term future than last time

Coming from the most volatile member of this forum to accuse me of trying to start an argument is a bit rich. I wasn't.

I was merely disagreeing with you. I realise that this is not allowed in your little dreamworld but it happens. from time to time.

Well certainly if they have these checks in place then they have to take a certain amount of the blame for this situation arising again, if indeed it does.

This is no way is me trying to deflect the blame away from ourselves but IF the RFL are paying the wages as has been suggested then maybe a similar point has been made to them and they are taking some form of responsibility for their actions?

However, regardless of this, we simply cannot be allowed to get away with more handouts and favours from others. We have had enough chances to get it right.

The fat lady is warming up her vocal chords.

Well at least Mick is keeping everyone informed as to where the plan carrying Green home is. Appears it was 22min late looking at last tweet. Wonder if he is at the airport with a sign waiting to pick him up.

I thought the scenario with Mandy Koukash was that as Marc Green was a creditor of OldCo he had first pop at the job?

Unless someone with so much brass that they don't have to even mull it over comes forward, I think it's time to put the old dog down (assuming that's the way it's heading).

You couldn't make it up, could you?

Some people seem to have a strange obsession for Mick.

There is a lot worse than him out there. Give the guy a break.

I just wish he'd have the same obsession with tracking Santa Claus at Christmas so we'd all know when to go to bed.


In all seriousness, his heart is in the right place. But it's still quite funny to think of him tracking the plane and then stood at the gate holding a sign up, followed by driving along side Green's taxi asking for a comment. All in good humour this time though. Hell, we have to find something to get amused about at the moment before we all want to slit our wrists.

I though Richard Lamb had first go but was unable to produce £1m to satisfy the fat controller that he had money...... I think he had one weekend to do it....

Again I am an optimist but if MG was gonna snatch and run he'd not have launched the robust rebuttal last week. I get the feeling they think that the HMRC appeal (for a sum much smaller than 6 figures) will fail so as FA said earlier the priority is the TAX MAN.

In the interim I guess a few agents, being the scheming sorts, will play on the late wage payments to get a release from another championship season for their lads.

So I am hoping:

The charge is to stop the RFL doing something at Odsal without him being covered
The tax man is being pain in favour of the players with the RFL covering wages using the home gates of the shield as security (so better turn up)
WE miraculously win the appeal and pay the RFL with the returned monies
Garry Schofield catches galloping nobrot and particularly nasty scrofula.

Your knowledge of knobular diseases is quite impressive.

Latest medical research now defines galloping nobrot and scrofula as David Tasker syndrome

I notice 429 guests currently on RA&B......is there something going on?

Latest on Facebook [yeah, I know... now suggests the staff have now been paid, btw.

Well facebook was correct in that the staff weren't paid so hopefully this is also true.

443 guests now. If we could just put a £2 surcharge on them .......

Ah, the virtual equivalent of rubber-necking. I suppose this whole Bulls shambles is a bit like a slow motion car crash anyway.

Thing Groundhog Carcrash Day

Was it tonight that Mick Gledhill did an interview with HMRC and Bradford Council on BCB? If so, did anybody hear what was said? I was working so didn't get chance to listen.

I thought it was 7:30?

May very well be as I can't find where the comment is regarding it. I thought it was 5pm. I've seen that there's a bulls forum on BCB tomorrow at 7:30pm.

I thought they was summert on BCB tonight at 7.30

Not according to their published schedule there isn't.

Definitely not rugby news on now.
