Clearly something more needed.

Open your eyes, see the people running your club for what they are, see that the business is not sustainable, accept that the Bulls business model does not work, accept that change is needed.
And accept that if change is not immediate, you won't have a club to follow.
And stop insulting people just because they don't agree with you.'"
I wonder if this was the post that finally made this sad, little man come.

Is there? Given the general lack of support for international football before the World Cup, it's a sport dominated by tribal club loyalties, so on a Bulls forum, I think you're wrong. I've watched Bradford through thick and thin since 1967, if Bulls go under, I'd probably still watch on Sky, probably go to occasional internationals against Australia or New Zealand, but weekly club games, forget it. I suspect a good proportion of fans from every club would say the same in the same situation

| If half of the sky money was agreed by OK Bulls and they are in administration, and a new buyer comes along surly that new company gets the whole allocation of sky money as the old agreement dies with OK Bulls

I asked who the hell would pay good money to buy, and fund, the Bulls business (what is left of it) off the administrator, in the certain knowledge it was a Championship club in waiting he was buying? And would have to pour money in this year for...pretty well nothing whatsoever, really?
Just go buy a Championship club and put your money into THAT.
I hope the RFL have plans in place for a 13-team competition for SL 2014? Because I fear it will either be that, or Bulls putting boys out to be beaten up by big hard men every week, getting lower and lower on numbers till you are down to young teenagers.
Absent a Marwen, who the hell would want to put money into such a lost cause???
But never mind, at leats the other clubs can share out the REST of our SKy money between themsleves.'"
I'm not disputing that side of it. It would take a sugar daddy by the sounds of it.

| I can't see how any of you can complain about the points deduction?! Rules are rules. Should you have been given a licence last time around? Answer - no
You will end up in the championship fighting for a place in the top four to play for 8 + 8+ 8 deal with it!
You do still however have more chance of playing in SL next season than Fev, Fax, Leigh, Sheffield or any other championship club!
It's not the fans or the players or the staffs fault so I feel for all. But the club unfortunately has to deal with the way it has being run over the last 5-6 years.
There are always consequences.

To put it bluntly, cut costs to what we can afford. There are probably two things that are different:
1. Our costs weren't as high in the first place. The team matched more closely our budget and our expectations.
2. The director who stepped in two years ago isn't, by the sounds of it, asking for his money back. That is probably the fundamental difference.

Commit suicide by stripping all quality and playing kids. Admit defeat and close the doors. Nice choice no other team have made, they are all skating on the edge trying to survive this year, Broncos excepted, and see what happens next year. But hey we're down so keep kicking!

Simples.

Agreed, now how much Sky money do Wakefield and London get.
If we were year 2 or 3 of a 5 year license, fully agree take the punishment in full and 2 years to rebuild, but with relegation, reduced funding and all the implications and, without a sugar daddy, no chance of achieving top flight football for a long time, great choices.
Really simple!

I'm sure if it happens to the model special measures club Rangers their fans will more than happily skip across town to Celtic.

It was just like that when Man City went into the bottom league, all their supporters started going to watch United every other week.

| Let's cut to the chase, shall we?
The Sky monies confiscation - a sanction no other club committing an act of insolvency has ever had to face - has destroyed any realistic chance of anyone but a multi-millionaire saving this club.
I hope those responsible are happy with what they have done.
I am sick and tired of supporters of certain other clubs coming on here and lecturing us about cutting our cloth according to our yard, when our yard was and is very considerably shorter than theirs.
