| Quote “I am doing this for the club and the city of Bradford. It is a place I love. It is my heritage. It is the city I’ve been brought up in. This is our city and our club.”
Ryan Whitcut, general manager of the club, refused to reveal how much money Mr Khan would plough into the business, but the T&A understands the figure is about £900,000.
He insisted the money would “cover” the club over this year and next. '"
Wow. Credit to that man.
Something was mentioned on TV t'other week of the high % of women in their spectators. Does the Bradford Bulls fan base contain an appropriate representation of the Asian ethnic minorities from their local community? If not, could/should the fact that the club is now owned by a prominant, respected and locally raised man from the minority be used to raise publicity amongst a potentially new vein of fans?

| I think he realises he was wrong. We all knew it was the cafe owner. I think the poster was somewhat embarrassed and hence hasnt come back to accept his mistake. An MP on £66k per year is hardly going to fund a pro rugby team. He is the respectable face of it all.

Oh dear, still on with your derogatory claims about Omar Khan running a cafe. I mean, I understand why you feel the need to run down Bradford as your comments elsewhere have pretty much shown your hand as hoping the Bulls go down so your tiny club with it's 8 fans doesn't get booted out of SL.

The club has tried, time and again, to engage with the Asian community in Bradford, there just doesn't seem to be the interest in the sport there.

Saw a decent looking bird on the tele last night in the quins crowd. I think every other club in superleague has a way to go to be able to state that half of their fan base is decent looking birds don't you think?

yeah.....as I said before, this sudden need for cash would point to delivery not being made on various KPI's and promises. If he knew this was coming, your owner would have arranged all this before the public humiliation commenced.
Embarrass me? How?
Your club has still failed to pay it's 200k wage bill and the owner has had to re-mortgage investments to raise capital...yet I'm embarrassed?
Let's see what happens in 3 months time when the newest loan runs out....this guy doesn't strike me as a bottomless pit.
Embarrass me
You're a ing heartland club for s sake.....self sufficiency should be the bare bones of what you aspire to, not paying players DIRECT DEBIT LATE PAYMENT CHARGES because you've run out of cash

If a senior executive where you work told you that the rumours were false and you were going to be paid on time and then you weren't, do you not think you might express some frustration?

If i were to post ill comments about my company in the public domain i would be dismissed for gross misconduct (seriously). Someone has actually been dismissed for that very reason, posting something on facebook.

| Me too. Batemans statement on FB amounts to gross misconduct. I would imagine this will be dealt with internally and a fine and written warning forthcoming. Naughty boy.

There were queues to get in last night.
The Broncos chairman wasnt there because he is in Japan buying more ships for his oil business.
How much does a chicken Korma and rice cost?

| As I've said elsewhere, pretty much every company has rules regarding it's employees and social media. But this also comes down to players not behaving in a mature and responsible manner. If a player has a problem with their respective club there are better way to deal with it than crying on Twitter. You can go direct to the club's bosses. If you don't get a satisfactory answer or you don't feel that you'll get one, then go to the players union and have them address your case.
I can understand the frustrations and the worries of the players at Bradford After last year. But the players need to learn there are ways you should and shouldn't go about this.

An unintended but pernicious outcome of licensing was that it took 'poop ground, no fans' to a whole new level and moved us somewhat away from an enthralling sporting contest, to a very dreary business competition.
Other clubs' economic difficulties became a win, of sorts. Being pleased that you've beaten a rival is a cause for celebration, or even other results going your way. Cheering or gloating over a rejection of planning permission, or a CCJ, or whatever - that is just wrong on so many levels. But it became natural.

Think the RL 'family' did more than its bit for Bradford... but what can you do if they chose to waste the money on pre-match fireworks.

Maybe should spend his time trying to buy you players that might be a able to win more than the occasional coin toss?
