I haven't blamed any fans, they have no control over it. I simply said the only people who supported it were those who financially benefitted from it and the sad bitter fans of lesser clubs who like to take pleasure in the struggles of one of the traditional big clubs. Like you.

I dont think anyone is taking pleasure in this, I for one would much prefer a Bradsford ala of 96 - 2004 than this

I agree, but eventually any club has to face up to the financial reality of its position, Bradford currently ( and for several years ) have been playing above what they can afford, sooner or later that has to end, as other clubs have had to

As regards the various administrations old and new, well it seems they are all as bad as one another

Your premise assumes that Bradford are only in this situation because they pay too much to players. This assumption is naive in the extreme

I wouldn't bet on it. Sadly.

I assume they are spending more than they earn, exactly where I couldnt care less ,but it would seem they've been doing it for most of the licencing era, which is doubly stupid

If they're spending it on anything else, they're properly mad!

And it does not follow from this, that Bradford have been operating at a level above themselves and need to drop down a level. Whilst it may make you feel better, if it doesn't actually address Bradford's problems it isn't the correct response.

I would be pretty confident that player salaries aren't accounting for much, if anything above 40% of Bradford's turnover. If they are turning over £5m then 1.6m is closer to 30%

Out of interest, what would you suggest would be the correct response?

It depends entirely on the situation. I would have kept Bradford in, given them their full tv share, and banned those involved in putting them in to admin from being involved in RL in pretty much any capacity.

icon_lol.gif This just gets better and better, so 1 st we have Mr Kahn didnt ' offer ' , then he did, now Bradfords problem isnt that they are spending more than they earn?

Ok then, what is Bradfords problem?

I'm sure they had a myriad of them ,not least being run by morons.

But rather go around in circles with you, I'll point out where you went wrong, I didn't say Bradford didn't spend more than they earned.
