One key point that seems to be missing here is what about all those small busineses that have supported your club? (possibly 3 times in your pattern of one year in and one year out administration) They may not be as lucky surviving the debt they will have to write off by such action.

Yes, I'd say, Bulls screw over their fans and suppliers again but are back in the game so who cares. Their iconic status must be preserved at all costs reagrdless of any standards their board may have.

My take on this would be that the RFL should introduce a "fit and proper person's" test for any "new" investor in any club (including my own HRLFC) and then see how Mr Green stacks up. Any success on his part would be laughable, except for the fact that the taxpayer in the form of HMRC and any small business creditor would be screwed to assuage one man's vanity/greed

I think it's because we care about RUGBY LEAGUE in general and what happens to/in the sport.
It does seem at times that bulls fans have no concept of reality and understand in the last few years their club have brought the game into disrepute.
Comments like that clown BillyMcboozer or whatever she called herself, saying that Halifax are a small Manchester mining town show not only his educational levels, the Pennines start at Todmorden not Shelf, but his commitment to the sport in general.
No disrespect intended.

| 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

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.

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.

| 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.
