I'm worried that the clubs inability to manage their finances will eventually have a detrimental effect on player/staff recruitment.

Then there's the sponsorship side of things. Would a sponsor want to be continuously associated with a club that gives the impression that they are constantly on the brink?

I'm already worried for next year....

Irrespective of the outcome, there appears to be a procedural issue here internally, especially if it turns out they are just plain incompetent at paying a tax bill on time. It's bad press that we don't need and does nothing to quell any fears that the fans may have regarding the club's future.

If we were a racehorse we would have been put-down long ago. It reads totally the work of the wee teflon coated prat who continues to steal a living from Bradford Bulls RLFC.

Must admit..with our track record,if you really had the means,you would not push it and let this sort of thing recur.Hardly in the best interests of the Club or it's image.Sad.

The club just doesn't seem to learn, does it?

We've had enough bad news and stories surrounding the club over the last few years. With things like this, the club will know before it goes into the press. Why the hell aren't they being proactive, especially given the whole thing about Marc Green having to release a statement due to scaremongering and the like?

Fan confidence isn't exactly high at the moment so why let anything like this get out before the club release a comment? The fans have seen the pig's ear that previous regimes have made of the club while telling the fans everything is rosey.

I thought this was the thread from last month. I didn't realise we had a new one. Good work.

Relax. The accountants and legal team were picked by Ferres.

One thing I will say is because we have been in this situation before the HMRC put a winding up order sooner than they would with others. I'm guessing we are saying we don't owe some VAT and they are saying we do.

I'm past worrying, if we go tits up.. we go tits up. Not much more that the devoted fans who turn up each week can do to alter that.
