Brilliant! That made me laugh hard.

Just what would Ron Burgundy think of all this?

Does make the scrutiny of licenses a farce when 2 of the chosen clubs have financially collapsed. Can the RFL ask for a refund from the private auditing company they used?

That's blackmail. What happened to natural selection

does any person on this site or other sites want Bradford to fold grow up for god sake

So in a nutshell - Akhbars want to buy bradford and pay off all their debts, but only with the assurance that the RFL will guarantee the Bulls a SL license for the next 2 years?!

the RFL will now retreat to the redhall base and flip a coin (or however they tend to make these important decisions!) - i suggest a heavily weighted black,red & amber coin at that.

Not only that but the RFL will pay Bradfords way with wages until the next deadline (which should not have been extended in the 1st place!)

The whole system is a complete shamables and i dont even think that the RFL have a rule book written for such situations - which is why nobody in the whole of the RL community knows what the hell is really going on!

This situtation has brought our game into the national eye in newspapers and online sites, and all it has done is tarnish the great sport that is RL!

how are clubs supposed to convince big sponsors to come on board with RL when the governing body doesnt know its @rse from its tit!

this goes way back and is emmbarrasing!

i dont think that the bulls are out of the water just yet, and if they do go into liquidation they should follow the route of the welchies and be dropped to champ 1, regardless of 'fan base'

...... i was feeling a touch sorry for you Bulls lot, but after the special treatment that the RFL are now clearly giving you, im not!

would the RFL jump in like this to aid Salford, Wakey, Cas, Hull KR, Hudds, or any of their other members in the Championship/1?!! course not!

if the Asians dont front up the cash you should have to start again from the bottom. and i cant bloody wait!

and an afterthought for you all - if the bulls go into liquidation thus writing off all their existing debts (many £'s owed to HMRC) this money used to fund the NHS. How many nurses will have to be cut next time around?! i understand this is a simplistic way of looking at it, but in essence the money that will not get paid out by the Bulls would have been used to fund doctors, nurses, police, firefighters etc.......

.....and many say - carry on Bradford, just because they have won the SL in the last ten years and have afew 'fans'

to anyone that thinks Bradford should continue in SL even after liquidation.....

....get a grip & grow some morals!

Sounds about right


This is quite a big nutshell you've posted here...you must be a big nut, ay.


Nope, th RFL are paying the Bulls tv monies a week early...I believe they did something similar for Leigh earlier in the season.


You dont know whats going on and yet here you are, spouting about it.


Your starting to get angry, I can tell.


Yea, the global recession is all the fault of the RFL...hows the tin foil hat today?


Aye, I can remember putting money in a bucket in 1990....and again in 2006, wasnt for the Bulls tho.


Cool story bro!


Dayum, you'll be missed.


See earlier comment about Leigh...you were right, you really do have NFI.

Fair enough

You didnt read the article, did you?


No Bugsy, unlike simmsfaxteddy I dont find Rugby League Clubs in trouble funny...whether its Leigh, Bradford or even fax.

I dont need to , I'm a former director and current shareholder of the club , was consulted on the decision

Maybe the person quoted in the article didnt bother informing ya of what was happening?

If you read the article properly you will see that the RFL dealt directly with HMRC , so no funds were ' advanced ' to Leigh Centurions , HMRC would not accept a ' promise to pay ' from the club , they didi however accept a ' promise to pay ' from the RFL

HTH
