| Quote ="LeagueLad"Players need lessons in Media. Players need to start being punished for complaining about their club. Bateman is a talent but by god he is brain dead! Players need to realise they need to talk to the powers that be, before spouting everything off on social media! It puts the club in a bad light, and the fact Whitehead keeps chirping up just makes me hate him a lot more, as it is no longer his business to get involved with Bulls affairs.'"
They should read Robbie Paul's book, has a chapter on it!

| Not good to be messing folk around wage wise at any time of the year, but doing it a few days before what could be the biggest game of the season thus far isn't going to help

Statement from Omar Khan
Quote To all Bradford Bulls supporters I would like to dispel all rumours and confirm that the club is NOT going into administration but as I have always taken the approach of open transparency I will say that we are at this time experiencing a temporary funding issue and as such it transpires that we will not be able to pay the wages until Wednesday 8th August.
We have made every endeavour to minimise the effect on all concerned and I would like to emphasise that this is a temporary issue that does not affect the future of the club, its players or its staff.
We have a busy couple of months ahead of us and I hope all of the Bradford Bulls supporters will get in behind the lads and help push them over these final few games of the season especially as the play offs beckon.
We also have some big announcements ready to make in the coming months that will excite and encourage all of the Bulls supporters.
Should any individual have any immediate concerns I would urge them to email General Manager, Ryan Whitcut on ryan.whitcut@bradfordbulls.co.uk'"

| Temporary funding issue? We either have the money to pay the staff or we don't. I don't understand how this could be resolved in a week. Are we waiting for other funds to clear before releasing the money to the players?
What a mess.

| If it really was just a temporary blip as claimed then surely our money man should have put in a short term loan - got the players paid - and this would never have got beyond the four walls of the club.
Now we have this embarassing public annoucement that once again we have cash flow issues, and while Bateman and Whitehead should learn to control themselves on twitter what they were saying was essentially right. If you were a player currently thinking of signing on the dotted line for us then this must be about the last thing you want to see.
Poor management I am affraid and I still wonder if you scratch the gilding from OK it's lead underneath?

| Oh dear not good. Lets hope this is resolved ASAP!! But does not sound good.
Going to go into a rant now, although it not the RFL'a fault we are struggling again, they have made life damn difficult for us!! If the worse does happen as we go into admin for a second time wonder if the RFL will think it was worth it keeping our main income source. they also managed to stop us having a home game for several weeks which again does not help.
Maybe instead if coming up with blue peter ideas for the league structure next year they should actually concentrate in doing their job and maybe get a sponsor!!
Lets hope this gets sorted! COYB!

The trouble there is, while it might be easy for you or I to lend our mate £20 until payday, shifting round assets to cover the money for the monthly wage bill at a sporting club is probably not going to be as straightforward.
There have been known problems regarding the Bulls banking setup since OK took over. How many remember getting a receipt from a hotel when you bought your season ticket? Or Omar stating at the fans forum that he'd had trouble getting a bank account for the club.
Add to that you've got brand new people in charge of the club who are still learning what running a SL club entails and tbh I'm surprised there's not been anything other than a slight delay on wages once since the club changed hands.
And that's not counting the lack of income from the huge gap we've had between home games which won't have done the club any good.

| Well. What a surprise. I wonder what all the OK lovers have to say about this then.
This guy is a complete bombscare. We are NOT in safe hands whatsoever.
Sadly however, the next time will probably be curtains for the club.

There's a world of difference between being unable to pay your staff and being unable to pay your staff on time.
However, given the excellent result against Hull which has put us back in the play-off hunt, there's been very little doom and gloom for you to rub your hands in glee over in the past week, so I bet you're loving this.
Yes, it's a poor showing on the clubs part to allow this to happen. However, given there'd not be a club without the people currently in charge, I'm willing to give them a bit of slack.

Another meaningless comment. Who are "the OK lovers"? I think we should be told, if you want to discuss them.

What? Loving the fact that, once again, the club are a complete embarrassment??? Aye right.
However, if you wish to see a narrow win against a Hull side with eyes on the CC semi final as a massive boost then fill yer boots. You take your comfort.

Plenty are usually quick to defend him. What have they got to say on this issue?
