Just want to say thanks to Mick Potter - after a number of seasons where the team seemed to have little idea in how to play or pride in the shirt, he has forged a team which does both in spades - not the most talented team who have worn the Bradford shirt but certainly as strong a team spirit as any team I've seen. No stars, just a load of guys getting on with the job as well as they can. Made it worse MacNamara commenting on situation on Sky Sports - his lack of the coaching skills shown by Potter accelarated our demise!

With insolvency practioners sentiment never comes into the equation but equally you would think think game at the weekend is potentially a significant source of income?

Feel for Potter he has been very professional throughout and he has been at the sharp in this season with the team not in the comfort of the TV commentators box

Quote: Adeybull "So, sack all the key staff now, while there is no actual bid on the table.

Then, white knight miraculously appears, on his white charger and with his bayonet not really looking like it has blood on it.

And makes his bid, the administrator having done the dirty job of getting shot of the employment and TUPE liabilities.

And steps in with his own team, secure in the knowledge that there are no impediments to him appointing them. Such a shame the administrator found it necessary to take such precipitate action so soon before the bid was finalised, but hey ho, life's a bitch, eh?

Sure bloody well is for the poor sods whose long service and dedication to the club has just been discarded.

Wonder if the administrator suggested to them that they could stay on without pay for another week, to see if a buyer appeared before the deadline?

WHY SACK THEM ALL OFF FOR THE SAKE OF A WEEK?????

Do you really need to ask?'"



Expressed exactly the same sentiment and suspicion on the Guilfoyle thread - I stated I believed we had an Independent assesment of our finances a few weeks ago with Guilfoyle's organisation - sure doesn't look that independent today!!! The warnings from the Plymouth Argyle fans have all come true!! icon_evil.gif

Quote: Cows "I wonder if Noble is willing to work for nowt?!'"


What's that I see coming over the hill? Looks like it's Sir Galahad with other white knights close behind.

OR...all of Adeybull's last post!

Adey has the nail on the head.

Why sack them all off for the sake of a week, maybe less?!

Ulterior motives at work for my money.

Quote: G1 "Was there really an alternative given how insolvent you were?

Regardless, I feel very sad for all those who have lost their jobs and all Bulls fans. This is not a good day for Rugby league.'"


I would say there was.

We have been told it is Friday or bust.

Were the staff offered the option of working without pay for another five days, with no promises? That would not have worsened the financial position, and would have kept the club team in place at least until the final deadline, at no extra cost. Then they could still have been made redundant had no buyer manifested himself.

So, I say again: why make the staff redundant now? Today? For the sake of four days?

Why?

Even with this being on the cards for a while still makes me furious - some very loyal staff are paying the price for other people's mistakes. Is there anyway the fans could organise a donation assuming there is a game at the weekend to pass a bucket round?

Mick Potter was asked to stay on, working for nothing, by the administrator.

This is dreadful news for all who work and support The Bulls, I feel for you all.

What happens next? Can a new buyer now come in with no debts to pay off? I they can what happens to the playing staff? Do the new company inherit them or is it just the name Bradford Bulls they get?

Perhaps the backroom staff wage bill was a sticking point for the investor(s)? Seen as being too high so they've taken the oportunity to get shot. Given they will have to have paid them off I can't see that its to save money short term.

I don't like it any more than anyone else but lets not jump straight to the conspiracy theories. Losing Potter is a disaster as far as I'm concerned though.

I wish I didn't love them like I do cos at this moment in time I want nothing to do with CC and his shower. I feel that going on Sunday is somehow endorsing their actions. Assuming the game is on of course.

I'll be there shouting the lads on, of course I will, but it's DESPITE the new Board not because of them.

All of the backroom staff I have met and talked to love the club and are just as much fans as we are. There are much better, honourable ways, to deal with this than acting in this way.

Still time left for someone to step in front of the Caisley 'last to the wire' possibility.To be the best these days you need to have someone to bankroll the Club..they exist just as much in this part of the world as others...unfortunately,although our Club is important to the City and equally to the community it is part of...these people, whose huge fortunes were amassed from humble beginnings in this district, would appear to turn away and watch as another nail is fired into Bradford's coffin.Understand their right,but not their lack of Yorkshire pride.

Just a thought as Brendan Guilfoyle is wanting a manager to come and work on free basis, why doesn't he work for free to save more money going out of the club!
