A judicious way to use spread betting if I may say

I can just see the kit now with red, amber, black, blue, white and green. Obviously the red, amber and black would HAVE to be in the wrong order.

The logo could be a large tiger wearing blue sox with a cougar’s head with Bull’s horns and a wildcat’s tail. Even the ancient Greeks couldn’t have been as imaginative as that.

The away shirt could be even more tasteless…if that’s possible.

https://twitter.com/rosshtanda/status/436109812771078144 Can anyone read this any other way than the level of sanction for admin, isn't related to the terms under which the Bull's exited admin or who the owners will be and any terms reached with creditors? If Ross is right then it makes not a jot of difference what creditors get back.

Well what's the incentive to pay them back then?

Re: Ownership and twists : Wed Feb 19, 2014 2:39 pm  

Wouldn't surprise me if the delay is due to the ownership issue. RFL won't know how much the creditors will be paid back until the new owner is confirmed.

That would be my conclusion too.

It also very much suggests that Lamb IS putting an offer in? And/or maybe working with the present lot?

yet more uncertainty. Oh joy.

That makes sense. If the new owner says that he is paying everyone back in full then no points deduction. If he says get stuffed creditors then fair enough deduct points!

I still fail to see how a points deduction punishes the previous owners. But that's another issue...

It doesn't.

But it makes the RFL look to the Whitehall mandarins like it is actually taking action to stop clubs doing it. When you and I know it is doing no such thing, and is only making things worse.

And it sates the appetite of those from other clubs baying for blood. Those who don't really care about justice being done, as long as someone is made to pay.
