Being fair, we have a 5th/6th place playing budget and are sticking to it. This is what cutting our cloth looks like. I’m not enjoying it at the moment though as we are seriously underperforming. From memory though, the accounts are due I think? But we got lucky with the first year of covid as we had no stadium to pay for and furlough took care of wages so I expect the books for 20/21 to look ok.

You talk about what players you want rid of and we'll discuss the implications of nobody in the ground + no budget for next year if that's OK.

He’ll be asking for the mods to take this one down too

Problem is we have a 5th/6th playing budget but we're not on course for a top 6 finish.

So next season we spend a bottom 8 playing budget and hope to hit that?

The Bulls are probably the only RL club in the world where a string of poor results and one sentence in the coaches post match interview has the fans immediately expecting the club to go bust.

Wonder why that is?

The tendency for Bulls fans to catastrophize has much deeper routes than just recent poor results and cryptic comments. When you consider our sustained financial mismanagement over many years, and all the false dawns then its surely entirely natural to worry. I also think its valid to say that we often started to realise something was going wrong behind the scenes when the players stopped playing. Of course every one of us hopes there's no link at all this time. But we've all been through the mill a few times and I can't really blame people for thinking, or worrying, that there may be more to it.

Agreed, it really is pathetic

Far less pathetic than the teams recent performances, or the coaching appointment, or the approach taken to answering genuine questions at the fans forum.

Given the number of times you respond to people with this

is it fair to say you find most people pathetic?

Honestly, I don't blame anyone for being nervous about possible Administration 'events' given our history

I don't believe it's true at the moment - I've no inside knowledge, But I still can't knock anyone who fears the worst

Not all. Everyone is entitled to opinion. We all have views on what we see every week. Some we agee with and some we dont. Thats part of being a fan. We dont all see things the same way.


What i do have an issue with is unsubstantiated fake news based on absoluet zero evidence.
