I think these were arranged before things went belly up for the Bulls. However, this highlights significant mismanagement, in that the club must (should?) have known they couldn't meet their future financial commitments and curtailed these new signings. Smacks of being rather amateurish or (worse) totally naive.


Sparky I would replace the word naive with stupid. Cashing cheques that you can't honour is never a good idea. Which brings us back to where we started.

...and the RFL probably aren't blameless in all of this and at worst are complicit in the mire that the Bulls find their selves in now.

Stupid would infer a lack of intellect, whereas naive suggests a deficit of business acumen. I think naive is probably more appropriate.

It's only words though, our thoughts align!

Re: Bulls; does it ever stop : Fri Dec 16, 2016 8:52 am  
The arrogance of Bradford and a number of its alleged fans knows no limits. The club has continued to make decision that saw it stay a full time club and have a bigger squad than the rest. The warning signs have been ignored for years. Bradford cheated its way to a final and won last year costing another championship club money. Even for 2017, Bradford all still set on being FT. The Bradford club deserves all what it gets for me. A number of fans seem to think that they shouldnt be punished or be in this position and that its the fault of SL clubs and the RFL etc. The fault of why Bradford are in this mess is the result of the poor decisions made by the Bradford club. Why the need for FT? Why the need to have a squad of 35? No need at all but just the arrogance that they think they are bigger that what they are.

I am grateful that we have a BOD that are realistic and that do not make decisions that put our club in the dangerous position of going bankrupt. I dont like us losing players to Batley. I dont like us doing the DR with Salford. I dont like us having to cut wages by 10%. I dont like us making news on the Stadium etc etc. But them unpopular decisions is why we have a club that is not in danger of going bust. For all the faults of our club and BOD, I feel we they never put the club in danger of ending up like Bradford. The Club and BOD make mistakes. But I am glad we have a bOD and Club like we do rather than one that lives in a fantasy world that is willing to risk killing our club off for no reason.

I think there's a distinction between the Bradford club and it's fans. Sure there's a blinkered minority in any set of supporters, but most Bulls fans I've come across are pretty rationale and realistic. Green bet the house on going back up, and when failed, it's all come crumbling. We're lucky that the BOD we have are prepared to make tough decisions and be realistic - whether that's down to an inherent lack of resource or some pragmatic thinking who knows. Sure they make mistakes but don't we all?

Bradford need a white knight to get them out of this mess, but you just end up with the same ego-centric attention seeker that goes missing when times get tough. Think best option for them is liquidation and restarting with supporters representations. Enough of their support base with stick with them, and most of the rest would return on promotion to championship.

Talks inconclusive between the only remainer who wants to buy the lease ( having trouble finding a pepper corn) and the RFL who want two.
This is according to Callender news speaking to the Nation who were all out of the room making tea.
One singular dozy bird, (dressed in red obviously) raised this matter in Parliament yesterday addressing her three fellow members of Parliament, with slightly bulbous red noses, regarding the plight of the iconic " Bradford Bulls" speaking to a bank of microphones and a Nation still in the kitchen dunking their hobnobs.
Will some one get it?
No one cares any more.
Slither away.
RFL grow some, they have been taking the urine for long enough.
It's time to take a stance, three pepper corns or bust, that's my final offer.

T&A saying Bulls saved. Announcement tomorrow. So I guess that means tomorrow is the new deadline now?

RFL Saying decision will be made tomorrow but no decision has been made yet so who knows, probably negotiating 6 or 12 point reduction.
