This is upsetting. What is more upsetting is people working in the mainstream media within RL which is quite a small community engaging in idle chitchat about the Bulls finances based on nothing more than malicious rumours on the internet.

A prime example being Gareth Jones (BBC) and Tony Hannan (Forty-20 Magazine) taking part in what was nothing more than the sort of gossip session you expect at an old ladies coffee morning on Radio Leeds on Sunday. That is potentially damaging!

Gutterfax being someone who loves to do just that, and nothing else to offer. In fact admitted his purpose being to wind us up, earlier in the thread. It may (or may not be) that the mods are prepared to tolerate the continued presence of this lowlife agent provocateur on RAB but as for me I have had quite enough of this fart in my spacesuit, and so off you go to join the other 2 in my Foes Bin. Have a nice life, Knut.

Flattered, I'm sure

Bradford had issues with monies owed.....they have sorted that issue, as well as the late payment of wages, but the "sorting" of said issues doesn't disguise the underlying feeling that something just isn't right at Bradford. I take no Joy in posting about it, but I will continue to do so, especially if children like FA ^^^^ make veiled requests to have me banned because I posted my thoughts on the matter.

It's a forum FA.......it's where people come to discuss issues. You fail to see that and simply resort to name calling and insults, not to mention all delivered with the panache of a petulant 4 year old school girl.

Good luck v Hudds and for the future guys and gals....let's hope than fans an sponsors plough in and make the Bulls great again!

We'd get a lot less trolls (or get 'targeted' less) if we stopped making these errors in the first place.

Maybe Ryan will be more careful in the future.

Really? Could have fooled me with your insistence that your "predictions", all of which you explained by showing you were ignoring most of the Bulls income, where fact that Bradford were going out of business.

The RFL put Bradford in special measures and suspended registration of players based on this.

Can't see how it was an error. Overdue tax bills don't get filed & forgotten about.

Has the loan from Barclays been cleared? The £200k loan from Bradford Council?

whether my individual figures were accurate or not, the basic formula was spot on. You had received 840k of investment from your owner BEFORE you missed a wages payment. You then received another 900k from your owner to meet that wages payment.....so minimum of his investment used in 2013 is 1,040,000 notes (200k wages). Little is any new income since then...Catalan and London fans arrive via skateboard...but you continue to say the remaining 700k hasn't been used to pay bills this year.
Direct Debit sales for next years ST and please let us get 1,000 sold before Hudds point to stealing from peter to pay paul.......and lest we forget, the TAX BILL that was forgotten
I hope Bradford Bull pull through, but at the moment, the first 12 months has not gone to plan and to deny this is insane!

Over, done with, move on!

Good post. I believe that budgets would have being adjusted, but they will be aiming for top 8, or a cup run for abit of extra revenue. That's probably true for 5+ teams in the comp and shouldn't be a negative, it should be a reason to back the season ticket drive.

As for money for the signings, when you set it out you can see where the money has come from. (Clearly making some assumptions, correct me if I'm way off!)
Diskin - Must have resigned on a much lower wage
Platt - On a good contract from a time gone by
Langley - One of the top earners at the club
Whitehead - Read £2,000 a week before, which must be up there.
Lulia - Again must be a top earner

Who's denying the first 12 months haven't gone to plan? But as that plan was conceived by people who've never run a sporting club before, it's only natural that there'd be some teething troubles and I've never said what the remaining monies have been used for, if anything. This is another case of you making something up and calling it fact.

As for the missed salary payment, the club knew it was coming and tried to get the investment into the club to prevent it, unfortunately due to a banking error, this was delayed.

How can your basic formula be "spot on" if you ignore or discount large numbers of other incomes and only use a select few in order to justify your argument? That's like saying 2+2 = 1,003,254

As for the oversight regarding the tax bill, the club have already addressed that AND it was properly addressed at the time. If not then HMRC would have taken out a notice in the London Gazette, which is what they would legally be required to do in the course of pursuing a winding up order. This never happened, as the club paid the outstanding amount in full and within the time given to them by HMRC.

Teething troubles? BTW...forgetting to pay the bill is one of the lamest excuses I have ever heard but you will patently lap it up. The only excuse you've yet to use is that the Dog ate your homework.......
