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?

The Bulls were given a 12 provisional licence last January. Does anyone know whether that licence has been extended for 2014 yet?

GO ON...SAY IT AGAIN!!!!

Who mentioned being nice?
He may have offered it to get a SL licence he was about to lose however even though he couldn't afford it and he didn't have the foresight/nous to see it.

I don't know, could it have been that Bradford were going to be kicked out and offered the money as an alternative? Could it be that there has been money put in by SLE that is being repaid? Both guesses as much likely as SLE deciding they could 'fine' Bradford £650k

So it was either blackmail ( by the other clubs, what a nice bunch they are ) or bribery ( by Mr Kahn , that any idiot could have told him wouldnt work unless he had the funds to more than match it, not in loans but in donation format ) , so either way, tough

If as you suggest, the ' fans ' ( a loose term in this instance ) of Bradford would not support a RL club outside SL ( as other ' lesser ' clubs fans have done ) then they dont deserve any club

I dont believe that to be the case, and you insult them in suggesting it

Lets face it they will get another licence.

It's the first one, it's the price Bradford had to pay to stay in SL, a pointless, idiotic punishment to the wrong people that damaged a member club.

Not actually another, just retain the last year of the current one , then the world of RL is plunged into disaster again
