| I can't see the RFL being held to ransom, if what's being alleged is true.

| I find it hard to believe that players would just turn up to a meeting and sign new contracts without having their agent there and taking advice first ?

They won't have signed new contacts, they may of signed an agreement to stay with the Bulls if this is done by the end of next week.

| I'm not buying all this "trying to deceive the RFL and back them into a corner" stuff.
I would rather believe that what has happened is that Richardson & co have simply put themselves into a position that represents the best option for the RFL and that they would be stupid to turn down. It's like going to a job interview and telling your prospective employer (who is desperate for a new member of staff ASAP) "I can start tomorrow, I don't need to serve 4 weeks notice elsewhere before I'm available"
After all, the RL are the governing body, they hold all the cards. it would be naive of anybody to think they could force their hand

If M Green and season ticket holders are taken care of (about 1.1 million if you believe his 900k figure, plus the value of the roughly 1k of STs sold up to mid November) then the remaining 50k, a figure cited by the RFL, represents half of one percent.

Perhaps adjusting your exaggerated sense of entitlement will help.

| I'm not sure they did. More of a "I'll sign you up on your old deals if you stick around." But who knows for sure?

Neither do I, other than gain credits from the rest in RL by 'punishing' us, but it is they who are pushing for us to accept -12, with no team, no staff [at the time of writing]play HKR 3 times etc.
Don't know whether this 'new owner' is going to come off or not, and it would make a big difference, but as it appears that they don''t even know about it, we can assume it wasn't on the table when the RFL came out with their plan to 'help' us.

The creditors figure quoted by the RFL was to "unconnected parties" which would therefore exclude Green.
The £50k is owed to other RL clubs due to Green not paying over advance ticket sales money.
Oh, and £50k is not 0.5% of the total, I think you need a new calculator !

| Ha. Yes I do.
But in this administration process, where we very much still are, then it really is the smallest chunk.
I'm not saying it shouldn't be paid. *After* the ST holders it's the only one I care about. But the administrator isn't going to ignore the person he was employed by.

Yup. Main difficulty to be overcome might be ensuring that a non-fit and proper person is distanced from the new club. Then again, it might be that that person is only awaiting some incentive to do so. The RFL might join forces with other interested parties in order to smooth the path towards that happening.

Can you list for us the creditors that the newco is dumping on, as you obviously know.
Can you also tell us what action we can usefully take in the event we are "unhappy" with any aspect of what is going on. None, so our hypothetical "happiness" with anything of it is just you trying to take some moral high ground.
Quote: el red " Guess what happens when in two years they haven't got the lease to Odsal from the RFL... ADMINISTRATION again. '"
Well, at least you'll have something to look forward to then. You'll just have to find somewhere else to vent your righteous spleen for a while before you can gloat to us how you "called it".
Quote: el red "Don't forget that this has been engineered to also shave all the clubs top earners and lower the wage bill at the expense of having a competitive team. So the 'backs to the wall' you talk about is false. Rohan knew all this and has merely rolled over to maintain his ridiculous salary for a Championship coach. '"
"Don't forget"? You talk as if you are not only stating facts but that everyone knew these alleged facts. We, and certainly I, know no such thing. Maybe you are confusing the consequences of being deep in the financial mire with the best conspiracy traditions?
Quote: el red "I want the Bradford club to rise again, but not like this.'"
Oh please
