What a load of rubbish you PC idiot. Brad-istan is neither Xenophobic or racial. Its the nickname that even many Asian people use about Bradford, simply because of the amount of Asians who live there that originate from Pakistan. In other words Bradford is populated by many Pakistanis and hence why Brad-istan. Is not an insult but a play on the city name and the many who come from or have connections with Pakistan. If you are so stupid and so PC to get so upset thats your problem. Stick your dummy back in and wipe the tears away sweetheart

Really? None of the asian people I know use that phrase.
In fact, the only people that I've heard use the term tend to be those people who think the EDL have the right idea ie ignorant, racist, morons

| Quote ="Wooden Stand"The problem for Bradford highlighted on this thread emanates from the poorly worded statement issued earlier this week... “I intend to hand over the reins to new owners ...subject to RFL approval.”
The statement does not make it clear how the two new owners have become the two new owners. Have they either bought a controlling number of shares in OK Bulls Limited OR is the intention to transfer the club to a new entity owned by the two? We don’t know; the statement didn’t say.
Either way, the expressed optimism (and the fingers crossed blind faith of some supporters) (i.e. that the RFL will rubber stamp the deal (supposedly yesterday, 26th September)) appears to be unfounded given the silence from Red Hall. And quite right...In Scenario 1. (The “new owners” have bought a controlling interest in the share capital of OK Bulls Ltd and will therefore honour its debts), the two just have to satisfy the RFL’s “fit and proper person” test. That’s all fine.
Scenario 2 (Where the intention is to transfer the club to a new company owned by the “new owners”) is a bit more problematical for Bradford. Not only do the two have to show they are “fit and proper” but they also have to provide evidence that a) the new entity is appropriately capitalised to take on a Super league club licence and b) (the big one) that OK Bulls Ltd will be debt free at the point of transfer of the Bulls’ licence to the new entity. Failing b) should mean the club being relegated to Championship 1 for 2014. (No RFL club can rack up debts, periodically walk away from them and then expect to be able to carry on as if nothing had gone wrong).
For some time and for the good of the game in this country, I have advocated the following high level requirements be put in place by the RFL and made clear to ALL clubs (particularly before they get themselves into financial trouble) and which cover the above;
1. Provision for annual automatic promotion and relegation between the leagues (I’m almost there with this key provision).
2. Entities owning a club going into Administration = 6 points deduction
3. Entities owning a club going bust (i.e. insolvent liquidation) = club relegated to bottom division
4. All clubs (including non-UK i.e. Catalans to you and me) to prepare annual audited accounts to 31 December each year and submit to RFL by following 30th June. Failure = 6 points deduction
5. No salary cap
6. A limit on the number of players that any club can have registered with the RFL at any one time
7. 13 of the 17 players named for each match to be EU born'"
I'm now hearing that it will take the RFL until after the 9 October Council meeting to adjudicate on this.

At least people in Bradford would actually know what you were talking about if you said they're the new owners of the Bulls. You mention the Broncos in their area and you'll likely be met with a blank stare of incomprehension.
But luckily the Broncos have an owner who continues to throw money at a failed club, for now....

| Well I hate to add fuel to the fire, but Curtis Naughton leaving despite still having two years to run on his contract would suggest to me that we've sold him.
Why would we sell one of (if not the most) promising youngster on our books, unless we needed the cash.
I refuse to believe that the owners would be so f*cking short sighted that they would do something like this unless they had no choice.
I can't even begin to express how upset/p!ssed off I am right now.

It's going to become increasingly difficult to keep hold of players who want to go to the NRL.
If he had gone elsewhere in SL, I would have been pi$$ed off, but realistically what can we do?
Good luck Curt.

Oh look, you've changed your tune from telling us how the broncos have never gone out of business.
And again, Bradford weren't the only club to not want to save you back then.
And if I were you with vitriolic ramblings, I wouldn't be so quick to mention karma.

I understand that Curtis is following some of his close family over to Oz so wasn't purely a football decision for him.

| Yeah I've heard the same, so I'm slightly reassured that it wasn't a financial issue as far as the club is concerned.
It still doesn't make this any less disappointing though, it's just more bad luck for the club. Typical that our best academy prospect would leave in this fashion, while other clubs see theirs flourish in the first team.

Anyone care to make an educated guess as to what may be the subject of the reported confidentiality agreement entered into by the new owners with Mr Khan or comment on pulsator's speculation above? If it were true that Mr Khan wanted £900,000 to be repaid to him, that could be say £15,000 a month for five years.

What i wrote may of sounded confusing, Omar does not want £900k to be paid to him that is just the figure of debt the club are in, Omar sold the club on for £1 and now the new owners are left with the outstanding debt of £900k lol
Apparently issues with September wages, also on the same grapevine heard that the RFL had to help with August wages and that the OOC players did not get paid,
On another note apparently a fair few of the players dont get on with Franny, and that he shows more interest in the old leeds boys,
Im just stating what ive heard floating about, whether its true or not is a different chapter of the story.
