I hope all clubs do well that is good for the game!
No one club is more important than another in my mind, we haven't had special treatment, infact some serious mistakes have been made by the RFL in putting some of the clowns that have been running the club in place..

Hopefully it gets sorted now..

A little less venom would be good, have a nice Christmas see you at Odsal next year hopefully for a damn good thrashing.

The RFL didn't buy Odsal then?

Hmm. Interesting question. No right answer to it.

I would say no. The RFL took the Odsal leasehold to get some collateral for their secret (to all their other member clubs) loan which they had stupidly forwarded to the Bulls some 4months earlier. The stupid secret loan had been to try to give the Bulls time to sort themselves out

but became more rope to hang themselves with (and who actually thought giving the Bulls board more cash could actually change anything???). When the RFL took the leasehold, that immediately tipped the Bulls into the crisis that the RFL had tried to stop 4months earlier, which I thought showed a complete lack of understanding from the RFL - or the other clubs had started to apply pressure to the RFL which forced them to change their position.
Ultimately, it entangled the RFL and the Bulls together, leaving us in the current position where the RFL have a massive conflict of interest whilst they are trying to manage the situation.
Ho hum, what tangled webs etc etc

You mean macbully irrelevant told you he was having banter

Shame you came on here only to find out he's a massive bell end! Can't think why there's a lack of respect....

No disrespect intended

And after going into administration because of a serious cash flow problem,
They forced the new owner to forfeit a years central funding...

I'm not denying there has been ridiculous mismanagement previously,

But the Rfl have hand picked the clowns since the first admin, charged big rent in odsal, and took a years central funding from omar Khan.

I could have told you Green didn't have the money to run the club and Lamb was pencilled in by the administrator last time only for the goal posts to be moved at zero hour and the club handed to Green..

As I said earlier it's in every clubs best interests for a strong championship this could equal more TV money and a better deal for all...survival for us would be nice.

The famous Manc sense of humour there. Honestly from a county that spawned such comedic greats as Peter Kay, Bernard Manning and Cannon & Ball you'd think you'd be a bit more up for the laugh.

Nah, you're trying too hard now. Boring.

The Bulls fans have been badly let down by the club (whoever was in charge) on a number of occasions now, they have been ably assisted in f@ckery by the RFL, and to those genuine fans you have my sympathy. On the other hand though there a number of purported Bulls fans who really are blinkered and feel that nothing has been done wrong in each of the 3 administrations

.

In terms of central funding, the Championship for me is the most competitive league and more TV coverage, and hence more money, can only help this, which in turn will help Super Dooper League. Build with foundations and not from the penthouse.

An ex mining village in Manchester would be infinitely superior to the dump you come from, and I don't mean Odsal. Now off you pop, hopefully to the 3rd division, and we'll get back to the rugby.

LOL - what happens to the Bulls could have a distinct and direct impact on our chances next year. I say "could", because we need to recapture our 2015 form to do anything next season, but with the Bulls 6 or 12 points behind us, or even replaced by someone else, it makes life just a little easier for us.

I guess we could ask a very similar question of you. Why are you on the Fax message board if you think we should all stick to our own?

We've had a couple of jokers on here, but largely gone now. Tbh, we don't have a lot of posters here, but most that do are passionate about RL and their club.

You probably didn't notice, but there were messages on your board from some of us genuinely wishing you well in sorting out your problems. After the responses we got from the Bulls "jokers" (one who has several inane posts on this thread) we've withdrawn and left you to it.

All the best.

I'm a Bulls fan so that dump I come from would be Huddersfield

And Huddersfield certainly is a dump

How can Huddersfield be a dump when my mate Huddshay comes lives there
Mind you I bet his back garden is s dump with all those Theakstons and Bishops Fingers


Pete

LOL.

Looks like the Bulls are being liquidated on Friday. Apparently staff have been informed. Sad day, if true. Don't wish to see any club disappear.

Very sad, they have fallen very quickly from SL status,I feel for the Fans.

Yes, not sure what's going on there as last week they had a number of bidders. Sad news for the staff and fans.

There will be a last minute rescue package and next season they'll carry on in the same old arrogant way as if nowt had happened. Does it ever stop? King's Head shudds. Newby Wyke, White Squall 4.8% Mmm!

Cmon Pete, don't be so cynical,no Club so go to the wall,I'm not sure what has happened , but the Bulls are a well supported club ,their fans don't deserve this,we should think ourselves lucky not to be in this position.Good luck next year.

To be fair, our board have taken measures to try and avoid financial crisis - 10% pay cut, no full time team, dual reg. The Bulls just carried on making the same mistakes, signing expensive players into a full time squad and believing their own hype.

On the surface, they once again failed to respond to their situation, stuck their head in the sand and thought they were above it. Once is forgivable but this is ridiculous now!

Freddie, I applaud Fax for the decisions your Board have made, to save cash,it couldn't have been easy and im sure from reading the posts on here it hasn't been popular,in RM you have a good young Coach,but I think next season your fan base will dwindle if the results go against you,it can be said at least you will have a Club and team to support.Obviously Bradford's troubles are of their own doing,its just a shame if they go to wall for trying to be successful.

Looks to me as if they've had a number of bidders give their BAFO (best and final offer) and they're looking at 2 of these with a view to them taking over. Don't see the Bulls disappearing at all. They may get a big points deduction but the club looks as if it is going to continue from what the guy heading the administrator is saying.

I'm sure that something will have developed by the weekend. Agree with previous posts that they have been badly mis-managed in the past, but you don't want to see any team go pop.

To be fair they bring a lot of fans and revenue to the Shay, which we badly need, and if they went we would miss their turnstile money.

But it's still good to have some friendly banter with them ........

Well said Dave





as you rightly say, we don't want any clubs going to the Wall.

Correct.

Can't see seethe Bulls disappearing. Worst case liquidation to wipe off the alleged £2m debt on Friday and then be back up and running on Monday as RFLBulls2016 Ltd . Very tough on creditors of the club and also the fans if this happens.
Whilst they are our rivals I wouldn't wish this on those mentioned. Agree our club would also be affected from a commercial point of view if we lose this derby fixture.
I know it's currently tough for us Fax fans but things like this news for the Bulls puts things a little more in perspective.
