For what its worth I think the RFL are not doing Bradford any favours if a new club is formed with the players that have already left and those that will it will be a struggle to get a competitive team out in the Championship. Minus 12 points and the likes of HKR,Broncos,Fev,Fax,Batley,Toulouse its a massive hill to climb and with reduced money from the Championship pot. If the club take some Hammerings some more fans will become sick to the back teeth and not go so more lost income. Why not start a new in Championship 1 and build steady my thoughts are if they start in Championship then the risk of going belly up again is not far away and no one wants any club to go completely from the game.

I agree and I've said it on anothe thread it just feels like RFL panicking because summer bash will be a disaster without a game for Hull KR and they won't have a tenant for Odsal.

It's doomed to failure from the start.

Quite simply with the time available the choice is put Bradford in a poor situation or disrupt 2 whol leagues

On reflection this is for the better,
With a clean slate we are £2m (reportedly) better off, can streamline staff wise.
And have only lost 6 competition points.
If we are bought by the right person next year maybe a bit tricky but to build we will be OK.

If Lamb and irvine get it they will honour season tickets too...

It's going be hard to build from nothing to a competitive side in a month. Some might say impossible.

Just woken up this morning and what a dream I had last night.
I dreamt that we were no longer world champions and we have gone out of business.
It must have been that cheese I had at supper.
I am glad that dream is over.

Er...... what are all of these posts about................

Re: Phoenix from the flames? : Wed Jan 04, 2017 7:48 am  

I just don't feel Irvine and Lamb have the cash for the long term.

Seems to be saying all the things Green said. Had investment lined up that never appeared.

Bulls can only get through this season on the back of a sugar daddy as there will not be enough cash to fund a full time squad. Let's hope a hero comes in before we lose too many players and the coach books his flight.

Re: Phoenix from the flames? : Wed Jan 04, 2017 7:56 am  

Well let's face it, we are all just speculating as none of us know what funding each potential bidder might have. Heck we don't even know who will come forward now with a bid. It does seem clear that talks with the RFL begun well before yesterday in case of this eventuality, so I'm sure the process is already well underway.

RFL please do not get this wrong!

Hears hoping the same.

I can't understand why the Bulls are even being offered a position in Div 1 never mind the Championship. Today your club doesn't exist.

They should boot you out and see if another team wants to join Div 1 and also promote a team from Div 1 to the Championship. You've had chance after chance year on year and failed at every opportunity

Don't go on about Bullmania that is in the long distant past, the game needs to move on. This might be the kick in the B0llox the game needs.

Hard to swallow but face it.
