You are asking for sensible suggestions for the actions of the various actors in this sorry tragedy - this implies they understood the facts and their implications and would then act with common sense. When the magnitude of the problems started to become apparent OK decided (sensibly?) to staunch his personal cash haemorrhage, but probably harboured some distant hope that under new - but connected - ownership that the creditors, with him being the largest - would get at least some of their money back. The event which would crystallise his loss would be for the OKBulls to pass into administration which is how things finally turned out.

Can't see how the Appeals Panel can possibly give any points back. Claiming that the club was financially soundly run in 2013 but some "force majeure" I.e. An act of god, like an earthquake or something caused the administration, is frankly laughable.

You may be right but I'm keeping my powder dry. Let's see what happens. I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of points come back. Then again I'd even less surprised if there was no change.

Anyone see what they said on Boots n All tonight?

Apparently the Wakefield chairman said he would quit if we were given our points back.

Someones feeling a tad nervous!

And how many points did they get deducted? Perhaps someone should remind him...

Slight bit of misrepresentation in there saying we only lost scruton and sammut as a result of cash problems. Seem to remember Carvell, winterstein, Bateman and l'estrange also leaving during cost cutting period after OK walked away too.

Poor form from Mr Carter. I think he'd be better off waiting until the appeal is actually heard. Unless he has other motives?

I think he must be spending too much time on the Wakefield forum, concentrate on your own club Mr Carter.

Also that both Sammut and Scruton were signed by Wakefield in the build up to our games against both them and the other relegation favourite London, timings that suggest Wakefield were trying to disrupt Bradford's preparation and damage their chances of survival. Quite a dirty trick really.

And now to try and hold the RFL hostage in this manner? Doesn't speak to highly of Wakefield's chairman, does it?

He's bluffing.....

Given the fact that his house has been put forward as a guarantee, I can't see him quitting!

Don't fall for his bluff fat man!

Also a bit rich saying he 'only wants a level playing field'

Seems to have forgotten us losing half of our Sky money for 2 years. Not sure why he'd forget - as HIS club were only too happy to pocket their share of it!!!

'Level playing field' my ass

He's still parroting the balls that they'd have been kicked out if they'd entered admin.

Either show us the proof carter or shut the fkup.
