Whether it was right or wrong i dont know as no one really knows. Did OK offer it Did the RFL demand it. Was it a condition so that the BUls would not be deducted points when OK took over. Was it a criteria to keep a bankrupt company in SL was it designed to get the Bulls back on a reasonable footing by saying stop spending more money than you have got. Was it to cover possible losses the RFL were worried about. NO ONE knows. Although i am sure FA will tell us he does and that it is all the RFLs fault.



The only thing the RFL should not have done was share it out to other clubs. That i do not understand

No, it's not ALL their fault but they are certainly partly responsible and much more so than Mark Moore and the other directors.

Wakefield and London were placed in the Championship? I don't remember that.

Greed? Easy to understand really.

And we had a points deduction as well. The fine was a special bonus. Just for us.

the fine was to buy a 2 year SL licence

I really hope that you manage to beat the drop this season. Bradford has long been my favourite away ground.

I'm not really interested in the way the club has been managed. It's always the players and fans that suffer. And Bradford Bulls has been one of the great teams in Super League as we know, so it's doubly sad to see what's happening.

Here's hoping that the fans can get behind the team for the season now that you know you've effectively got to beat Wakey by six points. I recall the game at Wigan two seasons ago when you adopted a mentality to win against the odds and I suppose you have got 25 games to try to adopt the same spirit.

Best of luck.

Fickle maybe! Tired and disillusioned most definitely! If and when the "Fat Lady Sings" I'll also cancel my Sky Sports Subscription and replace it with a cheaper Premier Sports one, I can then watch "Rugby other than the Bulls" NRL and the Motor Sports Sky no longer include. I'll no doubt miss the days out and social aspects of supporting the Bulls. I'll fill that gap with an extra holiday! Unless somebody does ride in and save us, again!

I think we all just want some closure now. It's like watching the death throes of a loved one, they keep flickering back into life but you know it's the cat's knackers.

Is it not in BB2014s best interest to anul these contracts for the players?
They have no income without the club, so i assume cannot afford to pay the wages for any length of time of their new employees.
Is another bit of covert dealing going on while the rfl are paying this months wages to right this most alarming of errors.

I don't know Lamb but the article talks sense, if a genuine bloke I hope he is your saviour because you have the opportunities to be a big club again but do it honorably.

No it wasn't. There have been many examples of RL clubs (note - RL not SL) having their central funding withheld when they entered administration or CVA conditions. Workington, Keighley and Oldham are 3 examples. I'm a Workington supporter - when we entered our CVA after being relegated from SL we did not receive any RFL central funding for almost 2 years until we exited the CVA. Bradford may be the first SL club to suffer such a punishment but they are most certainly not the first RL club to do so. The values may be different but the principle is the same.
