Still the longest losing run in Super League I think, isn't it? 27 games. Basically, the club (then run by Nigel Wood, or he was involved at some responsible level) ended up spending just £400k to pay for their whole squad over the course of the season at a time when several other clubs were spending up to, and some just over, the salary cap.

There is no one man running SL. For the umpteenth time.

Not at all. I believe I've made my point albeit with a certain amount of facetiousness and cynisism. Unfortunately, the devious machinations of the RFL and SL tend to provoke this from me as with a great many others.

The RFL and SL couldn't manage a 'devious machination' between them.

In answer to your earlier point, the money belongs to SLE Ltd. and is given to the RFL to distribute among the clubs who make up that organisation at any given time. There is a schedule of payments to clubs, although I'm not sure of the exact details of when and how many payments are normally made. Many clubs have received advances on this money from the RFL over the years, usually to tide them over a cash flow problem of one sort or another.

The RFL is under no obligation to hand over the cash early - particularly when Bradford's membership of SL is in some doubt going forward.

Seems someone may be trying to make money out of the situation by selling the name to them. Like they are in the financial position to do that!

Dont let the facts get in the way of a good story. By this time Nigel Wood had long since left the club and a group of supporters came in and basically had to clean up the mess that he had left. Despite the onfield record, for that season we were probably the best run club in the competition.

So a club cutting its spending to pay off debts and not spending what they dont have is discribed as being "appalling" by you.

WOW. You must think that Bradford are the best run club in the world by your standards then.

As a Bradford fan i am sickened by the way C***ley and his puppet are treating the players,employees and supporters of this great club and dragging its once good name through the gutter. I was so proud to be a Bulls fan on Friday shouting myself hoarse at Wigan, now i am just embarrassed.
Now is the hour for all true supporters to stand up and say enough is enough and band together to try and form a new team for 2013 in Championship 1. I would rather start again in the lower leagues and have the respect of other RL fans than possibly continue in SL with certain people running the club. I can't imagine it would cost that much to raise a team for CC1, certainly not £500K!
Come on Northern Bulls!


Not being a Bulls fan, I dont know the ins and outs of the CC situation but, if you were going to "buy" a loss making business wqith huge debts, which would be the best way forward.

1) take on the loss making business with huge debts
20 take the business from the Administrator, with a clean slate and with much of the pruning having already been done.

It's fairly straight forward from a business point of view.
The one aspect that must really anny the hell out of the Fans, is the 500k that you were asked to raise, when in all probability, this same exercise could have taken place some months ago ?
For sure, any goodwill from the fans will be devalued but, on the plus side, it does appear that you will still have a team to support.

Good luck
