And in doing so increases the chances of ending up back in the same position again at some point in the future.

Depends on how much they are worth.

My opinion. Keep the squad full time. Play 1 season in league 1. Win it nd build for next year.

What have the bulls lost with doing that?????

If the new owner pays off all the debt, then why should they get any points penalty at all?

I agree on 6 point deduction but no more.

Why do you need to stay full time? Considering you were beaten to the top four by two part time teams anyway.

Surely the club would be better off going part time for a year and copping the sanctions. Even with -6 it's unlikely you'd make the top four.

Also, could everyone stop saying "back where we belong" like it's a god given right that the Bulls should be in SL.

In any point in time you are exactly where you are supposed to be based on the decisions you (or in this case those running the club) make.

I'm not saying SL is better off without you, in fact it's getting a little boring, but please stop with the woe is me attitude.

Are you sure we would win Div 1? Don't forget we now have Toronto doing a Leigh in that division.

Re: Administration 3 - now in technicolour : Fri Nov 18, 2016 10:32 pm  

Look at Championship teams competing for top 4

Full Time - Hull KR, London, Toulouse
Part Time - Fev, Batley, Sheffield, Halifax

If you say Hull KR and London defo in then it would be a poop fight to even make the 4 without points deductions. That is why I'd say go part time, get finances back on track and build for future with the good kids you have coming through.

Almost could be Leigh, as 7 of their squad of so far 20 named players are Ex 2016 Leigh players.

Toronto have recruited to top 4 Championship level.

I think this may apply for teams coming up from League 1 or those coming down who intend/know they will stay here. I mean when we came down we hadn't learnt the ropes of the Championship yet blitzed every team (except Leigh) and beat an SL team in the Middle 8's. We just didn't have quite the right game plan to beat Wakey.

I believe Hull KR will do the same. Blitz the league and them and London will fight it out for Automatic promotion/MPG spot.

Toulouse will do well, but I feel like top 4 may be a little out of reach unless they make a few decent signings. But if they manage top 4 then they won't get promoted, be bottom 2 of Middle 8's.

The only enigma I feel is us. Providing we actually start the season, are still in this league and keep all our players we are in with a real chance of Top 2-4.

Even then though we are discrediting the likes of Batley, Featherstone, Sheffield and Halifax who all have decent sides!

Some of these posts are starting to grate a little now. If it's not bad enough that our team are on the brink of extinction we get people coming on here telling us that it's all our fault and you get what you deserve. Well all I do is pay my money each week so where exactly am I going wrong? Just a few comments:

1. The "advice" from fans on how to run the club is nice but really isn't required. This is a fans forum and as such, we have no say in how the club has been run or will be in the future. If you can find an owners forum then your "advice" may have more of a target audience. We know that the club has been mismanaged and many fans have voiced their concerns throughout the season. The large squad size which included some absolutely ludicrous signings was always an issue with us on here but that didn't make a blind bit of difference.

2. Telling us to "cut our cloth" accordingly? I've just switched energy supplier. Is that what you mean? Again, the fans have no say in this.

3. We should go part time? Doesn't this depend who takes over the club? (if anybody). If the new owner has limited funds then that may well be an option for them. If the owner has funds that they want to use then that is entirely up to them. All us fans do is support the club.

4. Back in SL where we belong? This statement seems to be used by the media, past players and coaches. I'd be very surprised if you hear Bulls fans using this term. SL was our home for many years and we had a desire to return there as quickly as possible. Now we just want a team to watch.

5. The RFL's punishment. Again, this is out of our control. It appears that if a new owner was to pay the creditors then we might get a 6 point deduction. If the new owner doesn't pay the creditors then we may get a 12 point deduction or possibly relegation to league 1. If that is the penalty then so be it. Thems the rules.

I'm as cheesed off with all this as anybody but i'm assured in the knowing that none of the decisions on how to run the club were mine.

Whatever happens in the future, I'll be there to support them, as ever.
