Messed up autocracy absorbing foul play with glee without a root cause for current predicament (5, 8, 6, 10)

The continued attempts to make hysterical, OTT accusations of RFL incompetence & disdain for fans is beyond a joke. Any level of incompetence pales into insignificance compared to that of the Bulls. Without any real knowledge of the situation, of actual confidential bids & negotiations, you know the RFL should be keeping you regularly informed, of what precisely?

Regarding your last paragraph. If it wasn't for the RFL bending all the rules for those very reasons you would have been put out of your misery years ago. Something plenty on here do not have the grace to acknowledge in their frenzy to impress other posters with their vitriol.


OTT hysterical?? That's you TT

I made a valid observation

The RFL is the GOVERNING BODY, the steering group, the authority - call it what you want - they call the shots, they are the master of puppets (or muppets in Bulls owner stakes...)

Answer me these questions -

1.) Which governing body secretly lent the Bulls x amount of money?
2.) Which governing body ratified OK as a fit and proper person?
3.) Which governing body, through its franchise scheme, gave Hood & the Bulls a grade B license with the help of KPMG?
4.) Which governing body constantly changes the date information is available? I have no idea what you do for a living (or did) but communication is key to everything - the RFL just ain't communicating at all with their stakeholders (that's the fans by the way!)

need any more examples of RFL incompetence?

I ain't looking to put all the blame at the RFL's door, certainly most of that lies with Caisley/Hood/Khan/moore etc... however as a governing body they have not proved fit for purpose...

Much as I dislike the knee-jerk 'the RFL are a set of useless ****s', I do not understand and never will understand the RFL's love of throwing money at KPMG. :CRAZY:

Or put another way, the two statements "the rfl have been and continue to be inept", and "Bradford Bulls are in no small part to blame for their crisis" are not mutually exclusive?

KPMG and their ilk never inspire me with much confidence.

A quick read of a Private Eye will reveal many examples of how the big accountancy companies are seemingly unable to find things wrong with companies finances – only for there to be scandal a short time after. KPMG, PWC etc have all had their mentions.

Arthur Andersen anyone? Remember Enron?
