There is that. I was looking at if from the employer's obligations POV.

Quote Adeybull="Adeybull" You stated that OK had bought BBH, when the public statements (including from the administrator) state clearly that it was the business that had been bought.

The BBC report is somewhat misleading and does not accurately reflect what has actually transpired, as I'm sure you'd agree. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/19446070 I was not aware that Holdings was a trading company, as I had assumed it was simply a Holding company in the conventional sense especially given that there appears to be a group of companies including BBL, Bradford Northern (1964) Ltd and Bradford Bulls Foundation Ltd. You have advised me that my assumption was incorrect, I accept that.

sorry for feeling a little elated especially as it now gives us an outside chance of reaching the play offs but you have hardly gone through the turmoil the Trinity has had to put up with last season

like you say it might not be all over

Did you really just say that we have not been through turmoil?
Where have you been for the last six months?

Spoke to a couple of the senior players and coaching staff after game. They are extremely positive about the future and us being in SL next season. They agreed that timing of announcement may not have helped, a game too far and all that. When the stress and worry stops the adrenaline stops a bit.

Needless to say they had no excuses though and were thoroughly pi$$ed off with the performance. However they were talking about finals rugby and see wakey slipping on a banana skin.

I also had the utter pleasure of chatting to Omar Khan. He was excited, positive and extremely open to ideas and comments. A very likeable fella.

Awful result but I've come home surprisingly happy.

Sorry mate, we get so many come on here spouting off and lecturing us on "facts" that are anything but - and especially in the field where (unlike the rugby, where I am no expert whatsoever) I have some expertise - that maybe someone with genuine intent but lacking some facts gets tarred with the same brush. The BB Foundation is not part of the group, btw. It is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity (and I was once a director and company secretary of it) which operates in the community field. Just to support this business of names not necessarily bearing any relation to structure, BBH was until 1998 called "Bradford Northern Rugby League Football Club (1964) ltd, and was the operating company since it was formed in 1964. There were some name swaps in 1998.

any other small club would of been wound up and binned

you have a large supporter base and I do recognise that super league (rugby league) will be worth less without you and I haven't a problem even if the RFL say you can stay in SL for ever but come on take YOUR blinkers off now and see how your club has been propped up to keep the club alive

I'm pleased to hear that the club will survive so take joy from that and build

now that's very funny because I too expected to see Bradford do the same but not against a poor Hull FC



exciting now

I am just a fan, and regardless of your perception of events, we, as a club and as fans, have been through turmoil.

It is hard to see how it could be construed as otherwise.

look, being on the other side of the fence we have see all that has gone off at Bradford and tried on here to give quality advice,

its a shame you fans never listened as you could of been part of a group controlling your clubs direction

I sincerely hope your new owners have the integrity as we have in Andrew Glover that has taken a bigger task than he expected

We have told you and told you but you would not listen.

There was no way WHATSOEVER that we the supporters could have done ANYTHING to gain full or partial ownership of the club.

None of the major shareholders were prepared to sell. There were no shares available. And there was no way we could anyway have raised the sort of money needed to run the club post-insolvency anyway, even if other interests were not at play.

You lot never had to do it yourself. Kindly do not presume to lecture US. Some of us know a bloody sight more about it than you do.

Adey, I agree that there appeared to be little time to do anything other than pour money down the drain back in April...............sorry, support the pledge.

You're right in saying that Wakefield fans were never asked to raise half a million quid, but WE WERE asked to "dig deep" in an effort to raise a six-figure sum at the beginning of last year. Ultimately, the fans decided we'd had enough of the Richardsons so WE CHOSE not to contribute knowing that the uncertainty of Administration would follow.

Given what you now know and with all the RFL financial support through the Administration period, it's perfectly reasonable to say that a Supporters' Trust COULD have been put together and (given how much the supporters raised in the pledge) been able to put a bid to take on the Bulls that was worth more than the OK bid.

All you can hope for now is that that Omar Khan (who, just like Andrew Glover never harboured ambitions to own a RL club) is able to put the Bulls back on a sound footing for the years to come.
