The RFL have so far only advanced money that we would receive in the very near future anyway. I'm pretty sure this is something they have done previously for other clubs as well, perhaps even Wakefield at some point.

Thats because the Super League are paying their wages !!!!! Thats why the administrator isn't selling anyone. Its a joke

As much as i feel sorry for the run of the mill Bulls fan, anyone trying to justify this nonsense is as bad as the ones that caused the problem, ignored the problem and is currently administering the problem.
The reason the Bulls (or one major reason) are in such trouble is that they have not been living within their means, the fact that is has been allowed to continue to such an extent when creditors have not been taken into account is frankly appalling!!!

Not if you have been living beyond your means for the best part of a decade winning stuff due to the size of your overdraft. No sympathy. Sell your top earners, start again. The only downside will be the incesent fawning over the Bulls corpse by Eddie and Stevo. Like Lazarus you will rise again but have to put up with a few years of mediocrity.

Please get on with it.

Exactly

It appears to me that everyone on here just wants some consistency with how clubs are treated by the RFL and administrators. Last year the 'sellability' of WTW could have been affected with the sale of top players but luckily it wasn't.

WTW lost key players when they went into administration (Obst, Millard & Ferguson went to top 4 clubs) and we almost did not stay in SL but for Crusaders backing out! This is despite the Bulls dire financial situation being obvious to the RFL when the franchises were being looked at & the Bulls are still now not selling even one of their SL players to pay off some of their debt! WTW had to put a scratch team together which barely competed.

When the franchises were submitted & analysed the Bulls should have gone to the championship then and they may not then have had to ask the public for £1 million to keep them afloat. They appear content for some other clubs to give them their attendance revenue whilst they await a buyer & chase a top 5 spot. It would be ironic if they won the play offs at the end of the season

In some ways people will look at our situation and think the rfl doing nothing helped us get rid of Ted. With all the help Bulls are given would he still be owner and chairman of our club? Does he have grounds for a lawsuit against the rfl for not helping him when he clearly needed it. Did he lose out financially because of this.? It does raise serious questions on how the rfl come to these decisions and how lightly are they made. Do all clubs sign a disclaimer saying you can't sue the governing body if you feel that you are not been treated evenly. There are laws like this in employment but not sure if same can be applied to the RFL and it's members which are the clubs.

Maybe they can then sell the trophy to raise some more funds! Perhaps the person who bought Fielden's Grand Final Ring would like a trophy to match!

A bid expected tomorrow from ABC dependent on SL guarantee and buying odsal lease.
This is an interesting corner for the RFL to work themselves out of.

Re: Bulls Keeping hold of their players. : Tue Jul 17, 2012 3:02 pm  

ABC intend to line the Odsal Bowl with Aluminium Foil and create the worlds biggest Korma. The Denby Dale PIe will look miniscule in comparison.
