oh dear oh dear oh dear !

Disgraceful.

But hardly surprising.

Have a neckful of the shambles running the game. It's corrupt from top to bottom, where was the help for Crusaders, Wakefield, Blackpool or as Ivor rightly says us back in the 80's-90's?

No other club in the land is owed more by the RFL than the birthplace and they washed their hands of us!!

So what's to stop any other club spending stupid amounts of money chasing the dream knowing the RFL and SL will be there to bail em out?

Mind you certain clubs such as Cas, Wakey, Salford, Widnes and us would be allowed to disappear.

Stinks to high heaven and the nasty smell is coming from Redhall

Seems sensible to me. Looks like the RFL is taking some responsibility for the sport at last. Far, far better than the club going under IMHO.

Have to agree with Ivor & Prop.

No-one rattled a stick in a s****pail for us when we were going under.

Why should the Bulls be a special case? They're in this mess because they bought their titles & couldn't settle the bill.

But now every other SL club is picking up their bar bill. The chequebook champs get a free pass.

One rule for the Bulls, another for everyone else.

If you don't learn from history you are doomed to repeat it.

The past is irreleveant to the future apart from as a learning tool. If it wasn't we'd all be sat in ditches pushing berries up our noses.

It's their fans I feel sorry for.

No sarcasm at all. Poor do all round for them.

i think it stinks too......why should the RFL or SLE whatever you want to call it bail them out because they chose not to look after their money......absolutely disgraceful decision in my opinion, They should have been made an example of not treated like some cherised wonderful star pupil !

its just so worng, but if we own a part share in the bulls can we use our share of bateman in this weekends game

Not sure they are bailing them out. We don't know how much money has been offered. Likely to be peanuts.

This way the administrator does not pull the plug and have the team finish with several games to go and even more people being unpaid.

Instead the season gets completed. Players and some others have a month and a half to find new emplyers.

The rfl can look for smaller scale investors (maybe supporters groups) who are able to support a championship or champ 1 side. This keeps a pro RL team in bradford which is great for supporters esp the people who raised £500K.

With 13 SL teams there is more £ for the remaining sides.

What happens with the debt to HMRC? Are all the other 13 teams chipping in? What happens to all the other creditors? the RFL bought the ground and now this.

The licensing checks must be thorough NOT!!!
Sure Bradford "SLE&RFL" Bulls got a B grade licence?

No help for Rangers from the SPL and there's only 2 teams in it!! No help for Portsmouth from the football league and we all know about the Rugby League teams.

Why are Bradford so special, they have won numerous trophies in the SL era and obviously spent money they didn't have, the RFL and SL have just encouraged every other team in the land to do the same.

Should have left em to sort out their own mess, could have sold the likes of Bateman, Whithead etc to pay off what's owed ala Wakefield had to do!!!

Stinks to high heaven and only people that should be happy about it are the Bulls fans

HMRC and creditors will probably get nothing. The same as they would get with liquidation. 13 clubs chipping in very little if anything at all.

Bulls seeing season out is better for the game than going out of business today.

In 2013 they will not be in SL could be in championship 1 or gone completely. their chnace of getting back into sl in 2015 is extremely slim. It will likely be a decade at best before the Bulls could have a 'play off' team. Not the best of incentives.

the wakey sales probably paid the administrator fees, if that.

The bulls fans being happy about having a club is not a bad thing.

Wrong! Bulls will be in SL next season. What a joke!

I don't think so.

Tonight RFL director Blake Solly told Bullbuider that once the RFL took over the Bulls the players will be free to speak to other clubs and secure their future next season.

The players who will find it easiest to get a club are the best ones. No aspiring SL club would get rid of the best players. The RFL are easing the Bulls into the lower divisions.

it does look like the rfl/sl have taken over the bulls so that the seasons fixtures are completed without any grief, where the bulls play next season is not clear yet but even if it is in super league they cannot continue to pay the big name players all that money and put themselves in the red everymonth
