But that's 200K, advanced to the current Bulls club, that WHEN they are disolved and a Newco put in place, will be lost i.e. owed to the RFL by a club no longer in existence. Look at it this way, it's 200K that the Bulls Newco, should receive in due course, but which will have already been paid to an extinct club.

That absolutely stinks - I don't particularly want to see Bradford go to the wall but at the end of the day we had to sell players to meet our running costs and they are just being given bailout after bailout by the RFL, all of which will be lost if/when they go under.

I was initially feeling sorry for the Bulls, but my feelings are starting to change...

Re: Bulls Players : Tue Jul 03, 2012 4:02 pm  

This whole situation really does stink. Main money generating assets (players) not released, coaching and other staff booted out. Deadline of 10 days now looking like being extended? How and why? Advance of £200k from the RFL? Potential interested party not entertained when BG is obliged to listen to them! Based on what we went through last year this is all very different and there are lots of smokes and mirrors.

I feel for the Bradford fans, players and those who lost their job. My anger and resentment to the RFL and the public as well as game's favouritism to the Bulls (and bigger clubs) hurts like fifty knives in the back with poison on the blades.

This stinks and should be handled like everyone else. I genuinely believe that there will be a Bradford in the SL next season. However, they should build from the ground up, not be jettisoned in as no weaker on the field as they are now. It does not penalise bad management and encourage good housekeeping.

I believe all RL and SL chairmen should vent their anger and vote out the current board of the RFL. Can't do anything above board and waste the RFL funds on lost projects whilst making the running of our game look like a sham.

Anyone got a peg for my nose?

Re: Bulls Players : Tue Jul 03, 2012 5:06 pm  

I thought it was generally accepted now that the RFL did help the club whilst in, and getting out, of administration.

The cash being advanced is what they would be due anyway at a later date. Nothing really to get upset about.

Yes it is! The money is being given to a club that the RFL know will not exist after next Tuesday.

If a Newco IS formed, they would expect the money too (it's due to all SL clubs at a later date in the season).

What are the RFL going to do? Say "no, you've had it already", or "here you go, have some more on us"?

The new company had to repay the old company's advance in the case of Wakefield trinity. I would hope that the same would apply to bulls new and old companies
