It is clearly factualy incorrect to say the RFL are paying the wages. The administrator is paying wages using funds distributed to all clubs....like all clubs do, so we are using our own money that originated from sky via the rfl. Also, it says we have been using the £250K to pay wages, but it does not say we've used it up, for all we know that could last another couple of months? Certainly I'd guess it will be enough to get us to the point of new ownership, if a new owner stands up in a reasonable time frame (before the next home game would be my hope)

I can prove you talk !

Sadly there is some truth in that NR.

The most culpable, to me, was CC. He alone of the recent chairmen actually had money in the bank [pretty large amounts, after the 'Odsal settlement'] and he simply made bad choices, imo, viewed of course with 20/20 hindsight. As for his successors, the one thing it shows, is that in desperate times, even people we might normally think of as staid and 'sensible' businessmen can turn to desperate measures.

We do judge on results though, so much as if, for example, Hood's desperate price reduction scheme had come off, we'd have regarded him as a visionary. History tells us it didn't though, so unfortunately he's yet another loser.

You would have to assume that is true Duckman or the Administrator wouldn't allow the club to trade. The one thing he certainly isn't is some kind of philanthropist.

The person who told me was right last time, i have no reason to doubt him.
As it stands there is not enough money in the pot to pay next months wages either so this will continue until a new owner is found or further assets will have to be sold.
This is what i have been told, you can believe it or not.

Going by your track record

Not

Technically the RFL did pay the wages for January & February, but it came from the sky money that the Bulls were entitled to anyway. The governing body held back the 360K tv money that was due to the club in February until the ownership saga had been completed, they couldn't pay it out until the adminsistrator had made a decision on which bid was to be accepted and that decsion was ratified and completed, which was expected to be a fairly quick process. But as we know that didn't quite go to plan so the Bulls never got the money and most of it is now used. But as this money would have been used to pay the wages anyway who paid it is irrelevent, it was the same money that was used.

I'd say my track record is much better than some on here that have believed everything told to them for the last few years.

So does that mean if any other club uses any of their Sky money to pay wages, the RFL are also paying their wages?

Maybe if the cash was being withheld due to the turmoil that makes it technically right, the problem with this admin and indeed the other admin is that so much of it is rumour and secrecy it is very hard to get an accurate reflection on what is really going on.
Financially from 2008 onwards the Bulls have been a basket case, to pick out anything as any kind of fact is going to be tricky.

I imagine all clubs use the Sky money to pay wages, the game is hardly rolling in cash! The only difference is the RFL usually distribute it to the clubs and they pay the employees, in this case as Bradford had entered admin they in effect payed it direct to the players & staff themselves. This meant the administrator didn't have to find money immediately for wages, just the other creditors and ensured that people got their wages on time and in full. There may just about be enough money kicking around for another months salaries, or at least part of them. But time is of the essence now and the ownership fiasco needs sorting quickly otherwise more players will have to go in the next couple of weeks to cover the outgoings.

every club uses the sky money to run the club, if they didnt there would be another 12-13 clubs under the operation of an administrator

Indeed. Of course, all the other clubs are also using their share of Bradford's money that they are trousering to part-fund their businesses, but we'll pretend they're not.

Can somebody please tell me how they know how much money the Bulls have got or haven't got,how much the RFL have given them out of the Sky money or not given them. Please show us how you have all the facts
