Quote: RickyF1 "£230k administrator bill. What a f#*kin joke'"


Even more of a joke when you take into account that the end result was liquidation. Something that could have been done a few days after the club went into administration, saving a massive £230k bill. But then the administrator wouldn't have been able to afford as many holidays.

Silly question but who pays the administrator if there was no money in the first place, and not that silly amount

God we were good.

I'd actually forgotten how we used to cram into the stands.

And we had some phenomenal players, Danny Peacock, Micky Withers, Bradley Penguin, Mike Forshaw, Bernard Dwyer, Meds, Robbie & Henry, Scotty Naylor, Matt Calland, Big Joe, Lez, Shontayne, Jimmy etc etc thank you guys a014.gif a014.gif a014.gif

How could we go from such a period of highs to the absolute bottom of the barrel. icon_ask.gif

Ross (who has provided much more info throughout this saga than the t&a) says it looks very likely we'll have a definitive decision tomorrow.

Any assets left of the liquidated company are sold off. The administrator getting paid first then the money filters down to creditors. May explain why the smug round faced tw@ has been putting massive sales in in the club shop as the money generated will go towards their fees first. Stinks to high heaven. And seems the administrator probably isn't happy with the rfls propaganda for a new club which will sting Pettit. That's why it probably hasn't been liquid and he's been trying to broker a deal

I think we have all missed a trick here. If admin would of happened last season and we lost 7 or 8 players in a week or so, we would still have a squad of 41 players. So maybe Steve Ferres was right all along

Yep, and the wage bill would have been less so theres another saving.

And we all wouldnt feel like we'd just had a whole chunk of our lives pulled out of our emotionally pummelled bodies.

Hey, thats the answer.

If we had a time machine we could go back and change it all and tomorrow morning the RFL announcement would be;

"The RFL board fully apologise to the Bradford Bulls and have agreed that the RFL Executive will pay back the money borrowed from the all conquering 6 times in a row treble champions; and confirmed in honour of how much the Bulls have brought to Super League the RFL have agreed sponsorship of the SL for the rest of eternity; it will now be called the RedAmberandBlack League"

I - pessimisticly - took that to read "there is nobody so the definitive decision is that's it's over"

Down to the final two bids. Flip a coin. Someone is getting the club but the RFL may need the weekend to decide.

I've just listened to the Bulls/Robbie/Henry Aint No Stopping Us Now song from 1999 on YouTube.

Proper nostalgia hit with that one.
