I think even the Bulls fans have had enough and just want to either win sufficient games to bridge the current gap or take the drop.

Same here, that's why I put an emphasis on blaming the club - although I imagine Adeybull will be on here quite soon defending the indefensible!

But surely the Bulls gave the right for that when they agreed to the rules regarding insolvency etc. You can't just opt in and out as it suits. That's how I see it anyways.

Who knows what was signed away if anything, this is the world of RL after all.
I'll keep my powder dry on this as there is bound to be some embarrassment unearthed on both sides.
It'll be interesting to see where the "muck" sticks!

Or are they attempting to appease the fans in a "we tried everything" kind of way?

Think this just about fits.

It would have been cheaper for Marc Green to just write off his debt in the first place at this rate.


On the plus side they are doing this for the benefit of the game as a whole, not just for Bradford
Do the RFL have the bottle to just throw them out for mounting a legal challenge in the High Court?? I thought clubs signed up to an agreement not to take legal proceedings against the governing body as part of their terms of membership?

Correct. Case to point - Cas Tigers 2006 and points deduction for Wigan in 2007. CT could have taken legal but didn't due to the terms of SL membership.

Lets concentrate on our own games and make it impossible for us to go down what ever the final outcome.

I really hope the cost of all this spirals out of control and bankrupts them again.

Re: bulls : Thu Jun 26, 2014 12:11 pm  

To be honest the more Bradford kick up a stink about this whole saga the better. There is a murky undercurrent to this mess and I believe the RFL are as culpable as the Bradford club. Had this been football the press would’ve been all over it and the corruption/incompetence at the RFL would have been outed by some good old investigative journalism.

All Trinity have to do is keep at least 8 points in front of the Bulls. That’s the key. Anything other is out of their control.

Re: bulls : Thu Jun 26, 2014 12:18 pm  

Plus it’s a shot to nothing, if they win they will have the SL money to pay off the legal costs and if they lose Green could just ditch the club leaving it in administration again to avoid paying the subsequent bills.

I'm guessing you are refering to the clubs signing away their rights to take legal action against the RFL?
Is there actually any substance to this or has it just become an urban myth?

Steve Ferres.. trying to stamp his authority over SL.

We should be trying to hide in the group about with Hull and Hull KR. Let the relegation talk about others and forget our name.
Might not be 8th but that mid table obscurity looks appealing to me.
