| Hull are most likely looking at getting elima now. They were strongly linked with him for next year anyway.

As for Radford, that was years ago! Maybe he used the 'magic pen' to sign his FC contract..........
The same club that come in picked over our already skinny carcass. Shocking state of affairs from another member of the so called "rugby league family"

| Yes these things happen, and it is to be expected in the current circumstances. That doesn't make gloating in any way dignified or even okay.
Where did this bloody myth about the best thing about Rugby League being the fans come from? And when is it going to be dispelled!?

Think you need to look at your own clubs previous at signing from clubs that are in trouble before complaining about other clubs

TBH that's both sport and business. Bradford need to sort the wage bill, the Administrator needs to get the best outcome possible for the creditors and the club (and... uh... himself), Hull see an opportunity to acquire playing staff.
Not saying it's honourable or how "family members" ought to behave, but when we went into admin we lost players as a necessity and we've come out alright at the other side. I want to see the same for Bradford and if that means other clubs come in for players, so be it.
The blame doesn't lie with Hull or the administrators, but with the woeful mismanagement that's put Bradford in this truly awful position.
Plus as has been pointed out, I remember when we raided Widnes.

Such as who?
Even if we had I would never condone it on a personal level. It just doesn’t feel the right thing to do, morally anyway. That’s not to say we won't join this fire sale, I understand how it feels watching key players been sold off under value, not a good feeling as a fan.
It’s sad thing when some fans take pleasure from such a horrible set of circumstances.

Sad to see some fans coming on here with this attitude of "you did it to us so we'll do it to you".
It just makes you look bad. After all just because the administrators do it doesn't mean that fans have to condone it.
I have no problem with players getting the best deal they can but for fans to come on here saying it's ok for my club to strip your assets because your club once did it is just poor.

| Sign who you want but they will only be there because they have no choice. You won't get far with people who don't really want to be there.

You also can't say you didn't expect clubs to come knocking for your better players if you can offload a few players and give yourselfs a bit of time to find a buyer surely that is better than losing your club altogether..

Quite. I thought I was a dab hand at holding a grudge, but I'm a rank amateur compared to some of our fans and the Radford/TV cases.
FWIW I take no personal pleasure in what's happening at all, but I understand why our club (and others) would seek to take advantage of the situation. Sport is a business now.

Of course I expect clubs to be looking to sign up players. That's business.
That doesn't mean I have to like it when fans come on here and post threads with a title of "Money talks and we have it...."
That comes across as patronising at best and gloating at worst.

Exactly my point. He didn't want to be here and was useless. A total waste of time and money.

Actually totally agree with that, certainly not a thread title I'd have used..

| Yes, you have money; but little success and, judging by this thread, fans with no class.
