OK Bulls actually received the full allocation of Sky money in 2013. It got the same as every other club. The original plan was 50% over the two remaining years of the licence, with it all to be paid in the second year.

Omar Khan asked for the Sky money to be advanced so the amount of money that was scheduled for year 2, which was in effect one full years money, was handed over in year 1.

The truth is that OK Bulls had the same money as every other club, but still went under because it was so badly run by Khan & Whitcut.

Agree with that, the start of our demise was player recruitment in 2004, coupled with drop in crowds and revenue, then accelerated by Harrisgate. We needed a strong leader in 2007 to plot a course which kept us competitive but addressed the implications of Harris, which would have not had MacNamara as coach for as long as he was. Imagine how different it could have looked with someone like Potter at the helm from 2009, with the Harris finances settled and accounted for, full funding for budgets and a great crop of youngsters coming through. Makes me want to weep/want to tear some people limb from limb with where we are now. Hood's weakness and Caisley's sniping from the sidelines are where we lost the chance to rescue it.

Wouldn't disagree about how the club was run as OKBulls, enough clear evidence of that, BUT, the decision to grant them a license stipulated 50% Sky funding for 2013 and 2014, are you saying they persuaded the RFL to give full funding in 2013? That would mean 2014 zero funding right? If the RFL agreed to that, I'd love to see the business plan that that convinced them to do it

That's simply not true. 2013, the other clubs took the Bulls Sky money to the tune of about £1 million.

You can look it up.

The questions are many, and many of them are aimed at finding out amongst other things whether they did or they didn't. Maybe they did. If they did, then we may find out the reasons eventually, or we may not, but I don't think your question progresses anything, since while plenty of suggestions and claims have been widely made, but nobody on here is the RFL and ultimately only they could answer it.

Yep, if that's what the independent panel says - or are you the paranoid one and they have got it in for you and your the paranoid one - think about it and the point I was replying to
