We should be careful we don't get stung here.
Why go in waving our big wads, when we might be able to wait for the Bulls to just crumble, then we can get Bateman as a free agent?
Similar to when Everton paid Rangers £5.5 million for Jelavic, only for the Scottish club to go t!ts up weeks later, when Jelavic could have walked off on a free and saved any buying club the large transfer fee.
I don't think Bradford crumbling is in the best interests of the game. They have a strong following and the last thing we need in RL is a reduction in the overall fan base that the sport generates. If the club does go to the wall it will be more difficult to get sponsors and advertisers for all clubs (because if one club can go belly up, so can any others). Sky will also have less belief in SL and we may not get a good deal when we renegotiate the contract. So if Bradford disappear, it damages all of the RL cubs, not just Bradford.
Finally the Bradford supporters have put their hands in their pockets to save the club. It is not their fault that the Board have mismanaged the club.
