I believe it's the tv money advance which is paying the wages.

I don't think it'd be popular if we made the play-off's which is even more reason to do it.

So what do you want to happen. I'm sure if it was your club
you might think the same as us. You know we don 't really think shaft the R L but it's an interesting concept

You seriously believe you havent already had that ? , or are you suggesting its next years money, which if you dont stay in SL you wont be entitled to recieve anyway , and if you did would be needed to pay your wages next year

Also since when is the SKY money 200 K per month?

Im not bothered what happens, but if nobody wants to buy you or pay your bills you end up in the Championships

If you are not bothered why come on this thread? We really can do without
people like you.

Let's get one thing straight. You have NO IDEA what money has been paid and so like us you have to rely on the only information given which is that the RFL were asked to advance the Sky money. The only person claiming that the RFL is dipping to pay the wages is, er, you. It is just malicious, as you have no grounds to accuse the RFL of lying. Also you ignore that when we have home games these generate a thing called "income".

Also for someone claiming they're not bothered, you don't half spout a lot.

So sorry to have an opinion, and so sorry I am inteligent enough to see a flaw in a simple statement, obviously your home games will generate income, obviously not enough to pay your wages, or you wouldnt be in the mess you are in

Maybe you could enlighten the ' advance ' part of the statement, if it was money due to be paid, it wouldnt be an advance, so I'd suggest it is money not yet due, which will then leave a problem in the future

Either way I was replying to a Huddersfield fan about his post, if that upsets you? , tough, dont read them

Well apparantly there are 4 unconditional bids on the table so somebody does want to buy us and pay our bills, its seems the RFL are dragging their feet...

I wonder what they'll come up with next? first its all bids must be "unconditional"...fair enough, then they've not recieved the sufficient "business plans" i would have thought attached to any bid would be some sort of business plan, then they need to make sure all "due diligence" is carried out....

Tick Tock...

classic.

IIRC clubs get roughly £1.4m per year from the Sky deal. That's roughly £117k per month. From what I'd heard the RFL's priority was/is to get Bradford through to the end of the season in any form. The season ends in October so that means the RFL could advance money due to Bradford in October, November & December (and possibly January - depends how they decide the yearly term) so that, combined with gate receipts etc, it sees Bradford through to September without actually costing the RFL anything.

But then that's not a conspiracy theory and doesn't involve either Bradford screwing the sport or the RFL "throwing money away", so it won't go down well on RLFans.

This talk of money is all well and good but it is detracting from our inevitable[1] destiny of rampaging through the play offs to Old Trafford.

Thats fine if Bradford haven't got any wages/bills to pay after October, but unfortunately they most likely will have and with no games, no more money from this years sky budget and the uncertainty whether they will be selling any season tickets for next year as yet means they have to find a backer of some sort. Whether that remains the RFL or someone satisfies the RFL and the clubs creditors with an acceptable offer is the be all and end all of the situation.

Of course it does, but it doesn't mean the RFL are giving Bradford money that "isn't Bradford's" or that the RFL will lose out somehow by advancing Bradford the money.

the RFL have only stated so far that the Bulls will be "funded" until the end of the playing season, where that money comes from, Sky advance of what is due to the club in 2012 or other sources they haven't said.....
