Just as likely that there is nothing to discuss.

No, the RFL made a brief statement yesterday that they would neither be issuing a public apology or taking the original press release off their website (it's still there), and said they would deal with the matter through their solicitors.

I didn't see that. I guess it's a legal game on now.

| The best scenario is for you to go down this season and build the club up again in the new division over the next few seasons. You'll be competing at the top end of that division so the crowds should stick with you albeit you won't be playing the top SL sides but at least you'll be building up a club who gets used to winning again and competing at the top of the league.
You won't need to spend fortunes on players in the hope of staying up /staying in the top league for the new play off system and no pressure will be on you to break the bank on star players like you have done. It might be strange seeing Bradford out of the top division but would be worth it for you if you still have a team to support.

| We are more worried about whether there's a way to get through this season to be honest.

Whilst that's maybe not a worst case scenario, it most certainly isn't the best one for us.

| Cut your wage bill this season by letting the high earners leave if they wish to do so then bring through some younger players from your academy or like you are doing now bring in loan players from other clubs who could potentially be at Bradford next season. You're still a big club with some pull so players will want to play for you whatever division you are in.
It's not worth throwing money away on good established players in the hope of staying up this season as it just digs another financial black hole for you you don't really want or need. I don't know the ins and outs of your financial troubles at the moment but it's not worth further risking your clubs future by trying to stay up. I still can't believe the potential savours of Bradford walked out after you were hit with a points deduction. Wouldn't it be better building a club up with solid foundations from the bottom instead of fire fighting this season to stave off relegation for short term gain of staying up?

| most people think going down is a deathknell, which it most likely is. In all likelyhood the best team from the 2nd league will get a one match chance to get promoted (4th v 5th) of the middle 8 mini league...This will almost certainly be against a SL team that will have a salary cap of £1.85m compared to £1m, going to be damn hard to get out of SL2

They didn't, they had been misled re that (they said) but what did foir them was the decision that despite being brand new owners, they couldn't run the club if they took it over, they would instead have been in special measures. That was what they especially couldn't accept.

Not only a deathknell for the club but, apparently, also financially ruinous for any new owner without very deep pockets

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?: |
