I couldn't say I'm fairly new to the party when it comes to twitter, but yesterday he tweeted he was hoping to speak to Marc Green on his show later in the day, only for that tweet to mysteriously disappear and no such appearance from Marc Green materialised!

Well I'm guessing that we'll know exactly who's Mick's talking about if we listen to the BCB show. There may be a bit of interest tonight so hopefully he won't end up with egg on his face ..again.

It's probably a restaurant owner who dreams of being a hero.

Welcome to the show Ronald McDonald....

Cryptic comments are Lamb to the slaughter.

They are usually Lamb-entable...

I expect it will attract a bunch more ten bob millionaires like him.

What sort of numbers are we talking though? Take Leigh out of the equation who have DB pumping money in to the club and you will find players at teams like Fax and Fev on 30K per year playing part time and when you consider that Bradford probably average crowds of maybe 2 and 3 times what either of their teams manage is it really unheard of the possibility of them having a number of players heading towards the 100K mark? If the figures are more than that then yes it would be easy to see how they have run in to such problems.

They should be able to cut those costs pretty soon though if they so wished as most of their contracted players will be able to talk to other teams pretty soon.

Think two of our biggest earners have signed for Hudders.

FWIW, Lamb recently threw his lot in with Rotherham RFC. He became a director there in June.

You're in the right ball park...
I still think those are astonishing numbers to pay for championship players. Given bradfords finish position in the league, it really does make me wonder about the set up there...

All depends which players you were talking about. I wouldn't be surprised if these players were not home grown and stuck with the club after relegation from Super League, but if you're talking home grown talent, I would share your surprise in general.

He did. Said we would here good news in the new year two and a half years later and we are still waiting.

Maybe its one of the reasons for divides in the camp especially when its some of the better players that do not even get a quarter of that sort of money. The thing is though on the sort of crowds they get they should easily be able to sustain a team at this level and still have some players earning big money. I know they have reduced funding compared to SL but their crowds are still more on a lot of occasions compared to a number of SL teams which should bridge that funding gap. I agree that it does make you wonder about the set up.

Just remember London are also sustained by a millionaire and are £15million in debt to him. I am told they have a player who's package (including housing, car etc) is measured at over £200k per annum.....madness
