Liable for what? I said Brian NOBEL:

| On the other hand we might not!
We won't if they drop into the Championship.
City are not wealthy and I don't see how they can buy the Bulls and pay off their £1.5m debts which they will have to if they are going to remain in SL.
It's an unconditional bid it says so City maybe looking at a Championship club playing at VP.
The £1.5m debts are the problem obviously, so it is how these are managed that will propbably decide the outcome of all this.
Either way, SL or otherwise, they can't retain the quality of squad they have now and financially break even. The overseas players may well be the highest paid so they could be the first to go. Bulls quality younger players could well stay and then build the future of their clubs around them.

| Sorry to bump an old thread but they're now back in the playoffs.
After a 6 point deduction still being able to make the playoffs shows these playoffs are just too inclusive.
Another showing of why it should go back to 6.

But there's a difference there was less teams to make that 6 and it's supposed to be a "level playing field" under the franchise so a team with a 6 point deduction shouldn't be making it especially one that's been so unremarkable.

Or even to 5. At present, the 6th place club has a negative points difference and only won a fraction over half their games. I think it more shows how poor the competition is outside the top 4 or 5.

| I have always felt that having more teams making the play offs that not is a bad idea. Don't think there is any other sport that it happens in. Finishing 8th should not be viewed as a success.

City may well buy the Bulls and play at Odsal themselves. I believe they no longer own valley Parade and pay a huge rent just to play there.

Would be a logistical nightmare to incorporate segregation? Where would they section off the away fans with seperate facilities etc?
