| Quote wrencat1873="wrencat1873"It was a poor do all round and it would appear that the ramifications are still being felt by both the club and the RFL.
The lesson to be learned from this is that other than helping to ensure that fixtures are fulfilled (although this doesn't seem to happen in the much wealthier round ball game), They should keep well away from club politics.
The whole thing stunk at the time and as more time passes, their decision has been shown to be and absolute shocker.
I wonder how many of those involved at the RFL are still there ?'"
In july 2013, David Hughes had a massive dummy spit and informed feilding supremo Gus MacKay that he'd had it with london. This was after the side had been humiliated 70-0 in the cup semi and he said it was time to wind back his investment.
He put the club up for grabs, but by this stage of his tenure, hed pretty much destroyed any commercial worth and there was little interest..... So the after much cajoling, the RFL convinved the owner of Barnet FC to take the club in as tenants, with a £100,000 marketing budget sweetener... Of which £0.00 was spent on marketing...... The team was ramshackle, the coach a joke and we won 1 game in 2014........BUT, the year off from heavy lifting allowed hughes to rethink and now we have a semi-stable championship set up and the club survived.
My point is..... I'll slag off the rfl in many areas, but in this one instance, they probably saved professional RL from retreating 30 years.
Edit: That saying, they are certainly complicit in thendemise of Bradford. IMHO, they were treated likena favourite spoilt child when some tough love may have served them better |

Well the RFL have conditionally allowed Bradford to share with Dewsbury.
But only for a season. Oh, and the Bulls aren't allowed to sign any players, just as an extra FU from the governing body to the club.

Scummy club are still selling season tickets knowing that they only have 12 players contracted and no means to sign any more.
They're going to hold off showing their accounts to the RFL until the gullible Bulls fans have refilled the begging buckets for another week

Yeah, that's totally it. It's not an attempt to screw over the Bulls because the RFL are being left with a white elephant that is Odsal because the Bradford board, after years of everyone going "they need to cut their cloth accordingly" actually doing it by moving out of a crumbling stadium that they cannot afford but this isn't what everyone meant by cutting their cloth. |

Don't be silly. Accounts are going to be filed by end of October when required.
When Sheffield moved to Doncaster and Wakefield did you see the RFL saying it was a poor decision and put them in special measures? The RFL stand to lose 72k a year and also have a loan out on all leasehold's they have,this is now at risk. |

You can't see past the chip on your shoulder.
And given that you're clearly a troll, I'll just ignore your comments going forward. |

Bless the RFL are 'sulking'. They have sold a lease to Bradford Council, and now what's Odsal going to be use for on a regular basis. Sweet F.A.
Placing the club in 'special measures' is taking the **ss, is that going to make the club think "hold on, we should move back to that huge expensive dump that is Odsal"

Exactly, it's likely that once the accounts are released in October and all Bradford's OOC players have signed for other clubs, the special measures will be dropped and Bradford will have to settle for the players that no-one else wants,meaning they're likely to finish lower in the table next year so along with the likely hit in income that'll result from the move to Dewsbury, there's less central funding for Bradford. It's almost like the RFL are doing everything they can to punish Bradford under the table because there's no official route by which they can take shots at the Bulls |

The statement says remain in special measures. Is it poorly worded or were the Bulls already in special measures prior to this?
