| Quote Ferocious Aardvark="Ferocious Aardvark"Are you serious? You are seriously suggesting that someone - in this case OK - actually thought that he could "gain money" by saving the Bulls? As you bankrolled the club to the tune of a million or so over a short period, would you feel this was a surefire way to "make money"?
Do you actually believe that any new owner would expect to "make money" from any SL club?
Investment my arris.

Spot on, FA.
I accept that OK made some blunders and miscalculations whilst running the Bulls, but believing there was money to made would have made him the biggest idiot alive; some mistakes, for sure - but a fool? No.

| His biggest miscalculation was ever getting involved in the first place.
Whether the actions of members of the RFL are racially motivated is impossible to say without corroborating evidence. However, I think there's enough to support the view Watt, Moore and Calvert are telling the truth when they say the RFL (Rimmer/Solly) advised them to go into administration. Whitcut (who is clearly no friend) supports this version of events stating the RFL advised the trio not to pay OK, and apparently closed a meeting early without resolution.
Additionally, whilst not responsible for the 50% Sky money scandal, the RFL worked a situation where any buyer had to buy the club without a SL license. It might be said the clubs voted for this but they couldn't have without this RFL imposed stipulation. The RFL have now issued a demand for the repayment from OK of the remaining 50% owing to an insolvency event which they themselves advised upon, presumably well aware that OK has already lost a large sum of money running into six figures.
For what it's worth I believe, Moore, Watt and Calvert, and Whitcut and I'm increasingly inclined to believe Michael Carter at Wakey.
The overall treatment of Khan looks very poor, bordering on the outright spiteful, racist or not.

| Agree totally about Omar's biggest mistake and I'd guess he's currently of the same opinion.
I think you're correct to highlight the 'advice' given to Moore, Watt and Calvert, this ought to be much easier to prove or disprove than the more tenuous [and subjective charges of racism. I certainly hope the current enquiry is looking into ALL aspects of the administration - I also hope it is lead by a Leveson figure and not a Hutton type appeaser with a given agenda to fulfil.

| Its taking as long as Leveson just to get the darn thing set up. They have known the appeal was coming for weeks and still taking weeks to get it moving.

I think they are just hoping the problem will go away - well at least as far as the championship!

But they haven't given any satisfactory explanation as to either why they claim it is owed, or why it didn't appear as a debt in the administration until the night before the creditors' meeting called by ... OK.

Makes you wonder if the RFL want to wash their hands of Omar, and brought it up at the meeting to stop him causing a fuss in future.
Can imagine the discussion - "If you disappear into the background and never say a word to anyone about anything that went on during your time at Bradford, we will forget about the £900,000 that you (allegedly) owe us".

| There's still no movement on the whole appeal. I thought it was supposed to have happened this week?

| If they can put it off until the end of the season we'll no longer be in SL, so it can then be left to some sub-committee to sort out. They'll probably then decide to give us all the points back, to be used the next time [if ever we get back in SL - though they'll only be valid up the end of 2015..a bit like those million and a half free texts you get from the phone company which have to be used over the weekend.
