Since your posting rate is only about 25% more than his, I find it hard to see what point he is seeking to make?

Does anybody actually care how many posts one has, it takes about 10 mins of somebodys day to right a few posts, hardly time consuming and evidence of no or a boring life is it?

Read the thread again, my response was to Bulliac regarding his mention of my boring life in Wf6?

Everyone seems to be a little toucy right now.

Fact? They were given the chance. None of them wanted to, and anyone with a brain can understand why. It rapidly became obvious that for any of the leading Championship clubs to advance their ambitions from the next licencing round to now would have been folly for them, and the idea of a mini-licencing round was rightly quickly buried.

Apparently franchising is the only reason Championship Clubs aren't being watched by massive crowds in brand new grounds. It must be true, I read it on the VT....

I may have been in a minority but I never expected the Bulls to be anywhere other than SL. The fact is, regardless of recent troubles, the Bulls are one of the biggest names in the competition. People from a number of teams hate to hear it, but all SL teams are not created equal, and the sport as a whole needs a strong Bradford.

Anyway, the main thing is to focus on financial stability and performances on the field from now on. If I were a Bulls fan I'd take a self-enforced 6 month sabbatical from discussing anything to do with the club's finances.

Wouldn't worry about the 2nd year as it has been reported in the RL press this morning that in 2013 you will receive £625k and in 2014 you will get £650k instead of the 1.25 million a year.

Question how can they say what is happening in 2014 if you only have a one year probationary licence. Or is that just for effect.

Probation is the key word, Bulls behave financially this season and 2014 SL status is almost certain

So for this club to be anything other than total whipping boys for two years, with a far far weaker team and structure than any other club and therefore going into the next Licensing round at a massive massive disadvantage, the owner has to shell out best part of £2/3m more money each year than his peers. Or the fans and others do.

If somehow this club pulls it off and does retain its Licence next time round, despite being at a massive financial disadvantage compared with every other club, I doubt any club will ever have deserved it more.

I hope the withheld money (assuming that is what happens) is used 100% to pay of the creditors that the last scandalous load of shareholders collectively contrived to allow to happen. Since the amount seems pretty close to the total per the statement of affairs, if you knock out what is supposedly owing to Hood's company. If it DOES, then that will at least shut up all those who have been taking the moral high ground (funnily enough, mainly from only certain clubs) about creditors being screwed. And then we also have a template for any of the OTHER clubs should they go bust and seek re-admission. Because the RFL would never want to be seen to have punished Mr Khan and our club for the sins of the previous owners more harshly than others, would it?

And still no investigation into the secret 700k loan, the sequence of repeated failures to make repayment, the purchase (seizure?) of the stadium lease and the false cover story?

Omar Khan and the fans have been left with a £3million bill for a series of interelated events the RFL either ignored or conspired in.

Totally agree and have no problem whatsoever with that.


Out of interest is there any mechanism for an 3rd party (the RFL) to pay the tax of a unrelated and possibly liquidated company (Bradford Bulls Holdings)?

Doubtless the shareholders of the now-defunct company will be funding a suitable investigatiion into what happened? Now we have assurance of SL status, at least for now, the role of the RFL (or at least some people there) in all this clearly needs to be better established and explained?
