Get back with what as they have no money and certainly wont have an overdraft facility when the go into admin.

Don't forget that all player contracts go up in smoke plus what do they pay the wages of the players they have left after the vultures finish picking at the carcass with as all season pass money gone,They will have to find rent for the RFL, How do they pay the leccy bill etc.



Wakey seriously struggled and they had a guy who could stand their losses bradford ATM have nobody like that.

Not quite as simple as that, see my previous post - Bradford fans will very much see a massive difference, but at least they will still have a club, just a financially poor one starting at the bottom.

But that's sport. The very nature of sport is that the fittest survive, and that applies to matters on and off the pitch.

I know, I'm just saying after years of success and still being considered by the media muppets as contenders even now - they will notice a huge difference.



It's been a long time since the Bulls didn't consider themselves special.

We have special needs now.

Richard Lewis:



“I am delighted to confirm that four clubs (Hull FC, Leeds Rhinos, Warrington Wolves and Wigan Warriors) have been awarded A Grade licences, one more than in 2008, and that five clubs (Bradford Bulls, Catalan Dragons, Huddersfield Giants, Hull Kingston Rovers and St Helens) have been awarded B grade licences, two more than in the last round of licensing,” said Lewis.



“As welcome as the improvements in grades are, it is just one element of proof that licensing is meeting its objectives of driving up standards"



The final decision on the awarding of licences was made by the RFL’s independent Board of Directors following a detailed assessment process by the RFL Executive, who received valuable support from property consultants Savills, finance company KPMG and governance and business management experts at Leeds Metropolitan University.









There's some serious running for cover going on this morning no doubt .......................

There is more chance of David Hughes bailing out the RFL than the RFL bailing out London Broncos



I hope the Broncos vote the Bulls out to teach Caisley a lesson(The tables are turned now you Yorkshire get)



and just to think it was your local rivals who turned the first knife with the Harris affair



10 point deduction- 2 Yorky teams below the Broncos now

In the Telegraph & Argus it says Bradford employ 150 staff, that seems like a huge amount unless they're including all players, coaches and stewards.

Also £3-4m turnover shows just how far Bradford have fallen. IIRC Leeds' turnover was over £10m at the last accounts.

Maybe the old salary cap rule of 40% of turnover needs bringing back.



Also with regard the Harris affair. It was Bradford and Caisley who "turned the first knife" by inducing Harris to break his contract.

If they were to go into administration they would get a 6 point deduction (equivalent to 3 wins). That is the punishment in RL. 10 points deductions apply to soccer only.

Is that the Caisley that was forced out of the club and has been touting our players to other clubs as an agent for years now? Or is it some other Caisley?

That doesn't sound true to me, but who knows.

I don't know much about the rules and regulations when a company goes into administration but could the sale of the stadium lease to the RFL be part of a plan to prepare Bradford for administration? Effectively securing the company's biggest asset?
