I agree.
It's not like some of these people are using abuse, or wishing death on people (you'd think they were from some reactions).
But what is really so wrong with just saying.......'' i hope bradford get relegated'' ?

Sure, as far as the "it's not Bradford's fault" attitude goes in the Bradford board - the "it's all Bradford's fault" attitude can go here.
Nobody wants anybody in the sport to go through this situation, but that doesn't mean that because it is happening the people to blame can't be blamed.

Yeah, and the only people to blame for bradfords situation is bradford themselves. No single person, but as a collective.
Successive managements have failed to follow the most fundemental business principles.
Players, and coaches have underperformed. Poor league performances, early exits from the CC and playoffs, failure to make the playoffs for 5 years.
And the fans. Caisley warned them in 2004 that if they wanted a bulls club, they needed to get out and support the team. The fanbase has dropped, having a devastated impact on revenue. Issues above will have contributed to that.
So no, bulls fans, it's not the big bad rfl's fault. It's bradfords.

| Just to be clear, opposing views are absolutely fine. Saying "this is all Bradford's fault" is a view I actually think has some merit.
It's the personal stuff I think we need to knock on the head.

| The way i see it is they have continued to act like a big, successful club long after they were a big, successful club without stopping and having a look around and someone going 'whoooah hang on a minute'. When it started going breasts vertical and people were concerned they were helped out - indeed by the RFL themselves- now they need more help because they failed to help themselves last time they have now resorted to blaming the people who helped them for not helping them again !!
If i lent a mate £100 cos he couldn't pay his leccy bill cos he'd spent it all on beer and partying that weekend and he asked me to do the same 3 weeks later would it be my fault that his leccy got cut off cos he hadn't learnt ??

| If TV's taught me anything it's that the lovable gangster hands over the money anyway whilst giving the bill money to the downtrodden wife.

Makes the comments by Moore about certain relegation look even more churlish.

Not as much as London's players tackling themselves when they're only 6 points behind on the scoreboard and have the ball gifted to them

No, Kearney slipped trying to catch the ball which went past him, the London player scooped it up, ran towards the Bulls line unopposed, then fell over and was tackled about half a yard from scoring. I feel sorry for the lad, can't be nice to have several thousand people all laughing at you.

The return fixture with Wakey will be the next "million pound match"

| So the administrator had assurances that trade creditors were getting 100p in the £ from BB2014 and that was at the request of the RFL (I wonder what assurances that the RFL had given the administrator (who has significant legal powers) re sanctions as a quid pro quo?)
That interview with Sadler is specific that the only creditor not getting paid would be Omar himself.
Can we now assume that HMRC was being counted as a trade creditor?
So then the RFL decision would seem to be based on the question of enough capital from BB2014?
So then the story about spreading the £600k Sky money deduction over 5 years rather than this year becomes important, and not an unreasonable request?
Which can be spun as Rimmer saying a £500k advance, or also basically correct as deferring a £500k penalty...

| The reduction in the sky money is the stupidest thing in this whole senario. OK Bulls stupid for offering it, RFL and the other clubs even more stupid for accepting it.
Financially penalising a club struggling financially was going to achieve what exactly?
