I love how so many people can claim to know what the problem is without actually knowing what's going on

Care to enlighten us?

I've read this thread.

I in no way claim to know what's going on, but I probably know as much as anyone else. Which is cock all.

Yet there are so many people pontificating

Welcome to an internet forum.

Internet forums are "virtual places" where people "gather" online to discuss various matters pertaining to that particular forum's topic or "reason for being". One could attribute many similarities to real world discussion places like the pub, the shops or the street. It's participants range from the very knowledgeable [Smokey TA] (check citation) to those that know "cock all" [Code13] (citation checked). Opinions are just that UNLESS a post made on a forum is followed by the word "FACT".

2. If Bradford get a new buyer or a one of investment then we will be the only club without a sugar daddy and will have no debts.

5. For all those so called rugby league fans who are taking pleasure in Bradford's downfall remember this......What will happen to your club if your sugar daddy decides enough is enough?? You wouldn't be able to cope So you laugh now but in a few years time we will see who is laughing

2. 'Sugar Daddies' like Lenehan and Moran lend support to their clubs for the 'extras' ( in Wire's case to pay transfer fees ) but don't prop them up as Wire have been improved business-wise to the point that they do break even or at least make a small profit.

5. I haven't seen much taking of pleasure at Bulls downfall at all. Some, including me, have pointed out that there were no complaints about 'sugar daddies' throughout the years that Bulls were dominant, so it's bit rich blaming these rare creatures ( or lack of one ) for the club's demise now. We're all RL fans and want to see the sport, and its major clubs, prosper.

And if every club did that, the whole game would be in a far better state !

However it only takes one club to decide to spend more and suddenly it becomes a race to over-spend. If only we could shackle teh likes of Wigan Warrington and Leeds then I am sure the overall expenditure would come down and teh games would still be exciting.

All these clubs operate under the salary cap. The salary cap is devised to prevent overspending. Unless you don't accept that it is monitored correctly, then they don't need any further 'shackling'. Wire have paid transfer fees a few times, it's true, but it's not so long ago that our best young players were bought by bigger clubs when we were short of cash. What goes around comes around.

Nothing further to add.

It would only have no debts because it's a new company. Pretty much as soon as that company has started trading, it'll no longer have no debts. And then you'll need a sugar daddy.

Saddend number 2 would be a really good argument except Caisley is technically the owner of Bradford Buls (before the admin came in) and he wasn't a sugar daddy, people like McManus, Moran, Lenegan and Pearson are. They are the one writing off debts your clubs have, we simply haven't had that. If somebody like Morrison owned our club we would be up in the top 4 year upon year winning stuff.

this guy is brilliant!

Talk about 'glass half full' (i love it btw)

i think you should be more concerned about your club getting a backer and surviving than thinking up hypothetical situations where the top four of SL loose their cheque books and Bradford win 'the lot'

thoses days are long gone - for a while anyway.

Good luck though.

Bull boy you almost have the tone of someone who thinks they will have the last laugh. It's ridiculous.

The last gllimmer of hope gone.

The only people having the last laugh is everyone else, on you!

Shouldn't have spent all that money on pointless pre-match stuff and signing harris, should you?
