And what would be wrong with that?Don't forget that the Championship is an exciting and vibrant competition,worth winning in it's own right.The new Bulls ought to relish participating in it.

Or we could encourage the new owner by saying that the club will be in SL.
Just like happened with Leighton Samuels.

Nobody VOTED. The RFL board (who ultimately make the decision on whether Bradford stay or not) have spoken to the other clubs about it and received comments both in favour of Bradford (whether it be out of administration or NewCo) being in SL and against.

Unless the RFL state to these investors that the Bulls will be in SL until their license runs out then they WILL NOT invest!

Simples.

If the RFL give this guarantee then they will (in my opinion) have belittled their franchise system and brought emmbarassment on the game (again).

if they choose to put Bradford in the Championship then our competition (being a Fax fan) my well be seen as a better place to invest money than it is now, and this could help the game as a whole below SL.

remember though this is only my opinion (so as to not anger the rather touchy Roofaldo and his Bulls cronies)

There is a parrallel here with Rangers FC and due to their standing within the game and thier support base etc, the new consortium were happy to take on the business and work their way back into the top flight.
The only difference here is that in RL there is no automatic path into SL.

When you haven't flown off on a paranoid rant, you can make decent posts!

Semantics. I would be interested to know who were in favour and who weren't then.

That better?

Oh well done on the new price this year that equates to 5194 fans through the door still way short of the current thinking of 10,000 to break even.
But at least it has gone from a very,very,very,very bad idea to just a very,very,very bad idea.
I'm pretty sure that most clubs could easily hit 10k passes if they charge £1 per pass.
I guess you think that is a good idea as well.

So you admit now that you spent more than you should have on players wages then?
Like I said if that is the case stop bleating about how out of order the previous board is as you have enjoyed watching a quality of RL that you couldn't afford.


Really I just was just dreaming that you have a deadline of later this month for liquidation then was I?
If you want to believe that selling your assets won't at least extend that deadline then feel free but those of us who are not blinded by our red,amber and black specs can see that selling them will infact do exactly that.

Where have I said otherwise?

Which players were the ones they couldn't afford? How could they overspend on players with the cap in place? How would the fans have known even if this were true (and there is zero hard evidence)?

Sorry, but this is a totally unreasonable statement.

The key word being 'stay'.

Err, no, that would be immensely foolish. My point was that Bradford took a gamble to try and reverse their falling crowds. It worked. Was it financially sensible? Possibly not. However, I notice that you STILL are basing all your math on only selling ground entry tickets and ignoring the more expensive seating tickets


You say, couldn't afford, but it's only NOW become a problem. There's been no reports of players not being paid before this current crisis. So in terms of having the money to pay the players then no, Bradford haven't over spent. However that money was finite and if the previous board had budgeted better the club might not have been in this position.



Yes, there's a deadline for liquidation. But there's prospective buyers on the horizon as well as enough money in the club to cover current funding requirements. So there is currently not a need to sell off our players. Should the potential buyers drop out then this situation may change.


You haven't. That was in response to someone else.
