They had a choice , they put themselves into the position of having to make it, no sympathy whatsoever, they were welcome to join us in the Championship and forgo the £ 650,000 they did recieve last year

No it isn't - the stupid thing is budgeting to spend more than you know you will have.

And, even with the extra Sky money I'd bet they'd still be in the same boat as they are nowl.

They? Who are they? What an idiotic way of thinking, even for you.

Are we blaming the Bradford fans here? Was it them that put themselves in this position? Did they run the club in to the ground? Even those who stumped up pretty big sums to try and keep their club alive, are they the ones we should have no sympathy for?

Was it the players? Those that had their livelihoods disputed through no fault of their own? Is it those that we shouldn't have sympathy for?

Was it Omar Kahn or the three directors now who got themselves in that position? Those who have put their time and money in to trying to rebuild the club? Are they bad guys here who needed punishing?

Or was it people who are in no way connected to the club now and who were in no way affected by this idiotic punishment who were the ones who got Bradford into the mess?

Yes, it is. Bradford have a projected shortfall next year. They have a lower income next year. I'm not sure how much clearer it could be spelt out

Whose fault is it that Hunslet arent a SL club?

God your a bore

No ones

Sorry, carry on with your misplaced schadenfreude.

Not enough people in Leeds were willing to support the club to the level required

Similarily not enough people in Bradford are willing to support the Bulls to the level required

So what do you do? , you cut your cloth accordingly, Mr Kahn knew this before he got involved, as does anybody, if he didnt have the money to lose or the skills to change it overnight, then tough , its called ' Life ' , if that meant the club being relegated and even potentially lost, then tough, Bradford wouldnt deserve a club, end of

it doesn't mean the club gets relegated. There is no need it should. That isn't 'life' at all. It's the schadenfreude of a bitter middle aged man.

So why offer to give up the money?

Because that's what was asked of them to retain their licence

Was it asked of or offered by? Not a trick question it's just that I've not seen anything conclusive.

I don't think it's very likely Omar Kahn gave £1.3m over two years to the other SL clubs just to be nice, do you?
