I think Bradford would kill for their players to be on an average wage bill of 120K per month at the moment.

Do you believe the WUP is the reason why bank accounts have been frozen?
Or would the £4.5m debt in liquidation be more of a reason for frozen bank accounts.
Also can you explain why the bank never took this action for the two prior WUP notices but have now?

That's rather simplistic. There are merchandise sales, Ticket sales, sponsorship, corporate events etc all generating income. I think however the costs you quote are possibly on the low side.

If you're Greens accountant I think I am on the verge of spotting where the problem lies but I take your point .
I'd still say it's in the interests of the RFL (and the other Championship Clubs perversely) to ensure relative stability whilst MG sorts himself or until your mystery man rides into Odsal on his bleached donkey, wrapped in tin foil (I'm not getting my hopes up too high)?
How can we say it's mismanagement on an industrial scale if the accounts are frozen?
How do we know what's in them? We don't...
How do we know that Green's appeal against the HMRC is not driven by stubborn pride and pig headed, self belief rather than a desperate attempt recover a figure rumoured to be less than £20k?

The mismanagement comment is aimed at the fact we have a squad of 40+ again having repeated the same mistakes of last year.

If only we had a steady hand to make sure we didn't make silly mistakes like this. I hear Steve Ferres is good at providing exactly that...
Oh.

| The problem with a thread like this is that everybody wants to hear something different. If Marc Green says one thing and you want to hear something else then the immediate response is "Well he would say that wouldn't he". As for being in Ibiza I would just say there are times when I wouldn't even go from Queensbury to Odsal.

We could yet see some of the academy players given the opportunity to play.

| Shots fired by Mandy Koukash on Twitter. I'm guessing that she is suggesting that if the RFL had let her in this wouldn't be happening. It's seems a little opportunist and probably just more of a way to hit out at the RFL than anything else.

I still think,under the circumstances and unless we get a sugar daddy,we should ground share as Odsal is a tombstone financially.
We should use the products of our thriving Academy as a basis ,including a sprinkling of senior players as we cut our cloth accordingly.
Rebuild on sound footings and increase our strength as a Club step by step.
...But if there was anyone wanting to invest,big time,then so be it.But it would be handy to get it right this time!

| No doubt Green is telling the truth when he refers to his current troubles, but to me the big difference between this farrago and previous ones is
(a) if we had won the MPG last year, we wouldn't be in this mess
(b) if we had beaten Fev, we wouldn't be in this mess.

Yay! First mention of cutting our cloth this time around

(a) Correct
(b) I'm not sure that beating Fev would have helped pay the players last Friday, unless the prize money was handed out after the final whistle. Green would still have the issues with Safeguard and probably the WUP on the Bulls.

This. Much as I hate the idea, I can't help but feel that Horsfall or similar is the way forward in the short term. Accept that we'd lose 1-2k off our gates, but we'd have a base from which to grow. At present we are dying slowly. Grim.

How are you managing to forget that had we beaten Fev, then on Saturday 6th August we would be AT HOME TO LEEDS?
How much do you think we would already have pulled in from ticket sales and sponsorship and hospitality etc for that match?
In comparison, how much do you think we will have netted so far from our percentage of ticket sales for the trip to Whitehaven, and will it even cover the cost of the coach?

| I don't think that we'd have sold 10k tickets last week. If Marc's in as much trouble with HMRC as we are led to believe then I don't think that the money from the Leeds gate would make everything alright. I'm not just thinking about this month's wage.
