Yes, it is pretty difficult to measure the difference between "totally inept" and "completely incompetent".

Correct, but I bet we're thinking about different people.

Defend your club all you like FA...it's very admirable, but The need for cash was not planned....someone, somewhere is telling porkies!


By the way, is the bridging finance coming from a high street bank or from your sponsors? I ask, because if it's the latter you're ed



200k would cost 364k over a year






Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask

Situation resolved.

Excellent news for all concerned.

He has shut a few up on here by putting that amount of money in.

Top bloke

Thats todays problem solved wait til tomorrow.

Indian take aways in Bradford dont make that much I wouldnt have thought!

Thank you, Omar, perfect timing. There is nothing i could add, whatsoever, that would embarrass gutterfax any more than it turns out his own post does.









(hey but don't let me stop you from digging, you must be able to come up with [isomething[/i else.

You're right there. Nobody goes to Bradford for a curry.

Good news.

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?

We can’t be. Only one meets that criteria.

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.

I wish we had an ex Zimbabwean Cricketer in charge.

Alas we can only dream.

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

You should apply for the apprentice mate

Do you even check what you're typed before you click submit? Because you clearly don't check your facts. The club DID know this was going to be an issue which is why OK was arranging to invest this extra capital. Due to an admin error on the bank's part, the money that was coming in has been delayed.

TBH, the best lesson the Bulls could learn from this is to introduce restraints on players making comments on internal club affairs on social media sites as without certain players comments this probably wouldn't have even been a thing.

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?

Yeah but in my boss' office in person

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.
