what now?

Very sad. There must be some mismanagement going on.

Oh well, what a shame

I feel sorry for the fans who've already bought their season tickets, and the people who will lose their jobs but as it's the third time in 4 years that they've gone into administration it's very hard to feel sorry for the club as a whole. They've been given lifelines in the past, now it's down to the fans to take control of the club away from the current board who has lined his own pockets while leaving players without wages this season

Complete apathy from me now. We'll survive or we won't. I won't be checking around for the latest news on us or anything this time around. I simply can't be bothered. I had a season ticket for a good 15 or so years in a row. Now I'm just...meh. It was fun while it lasted and I got to see my club win everything there was to win more than once. If it dies off now then so be it, it was a fun ride.

Presumably now they are in admin, the investors who were seriously considering getting involved but were put off by the HMRC issue (Marc Greens words) will now step forward?

it seems each round of admin pushes the bulls lower down, points deductions, best players leaving, fans rightly becoming disillusioned and attendances dropping, causing a downward spiral effect. perhaps in hindsight the club should have got out of odsal which must cost a fortune in upkeep, settled in a more manageable stadium, possibly sharing with the football club like in wigan, hudds and hull, circa 1998 - 2000 when at the top of their game. i do seem to recall a lot of the fans being against such a move at the time however. getting out of odsal would be the only thing that could serve as a catalyst for change

I find it odd that they didn't want to groundshare but there must have been some reason for it (either financial or conflict between clubs is my guess). I suppose it's probably too late to pull away from Odsal now too with the RFL owning it

We all now know what Marc Greens words mean........

Yes that was partly my point, it will be interesting to see if these investors now come forward or whether it was just hot air

In steps Marwan to merge two failing clubs to become the "Bradford Red Bulls"!

Apparently Marwan has already tweeted that he has already bought his wife a Christmas present

Sad news indeed for a once great club.

Now you see Marwan offered to buy us but the RFL or some other clueless gimp elected instead to go for a slightly higher offer from a man with no wealth whatsoever. And surprise surprise we inexplicably have run out of money under the chairmanship of a man with no money. Who could have ever thought that might happen?

Sad times for one of the biggest names in the sport.

Hope they get sorted and quickly.

I don't pretend to know what the details are for this once great club?

can't imagine what the supporters are going through?

Can't imagine what passed players think about what they have given up to donate to keep the club alive?

Now is maybe the time to let it fold take what punishment comes from the RL and start all over again as Bradford Northern.

Then you can move forward

RIP Bulls

Hope it gets sorted, however I just don't see how a club can ever really thrive in that stadium in the long run.

What has become very clear over the last few years is that there is no one at all with any meaningful wealth with the inclination to put a penny into Bradford. Now I personally find it a little baffling that a club in a city, with relatively solid core support, and a brand that is tarnished but recognised can attract precisely no pounds (does any neutral fan not find it a little odd or it just me?). But that’s where we are, and for as long as that scenario remains, there can only ever be a lower division Bradford.

It's good to see relegation gave them the chance to reorganise and attract new supporters to a winning side

We can't find anyone with any money to invest - you can't get promoted without a millionaire - you get stuck in the lower divisions making it harder to attract anyone with any money to invest. And repeat.

Shame for the Bulls Koukash didn't pick them up instead of Salford a few years back. It would have been a far better fit for both parties imo.

I think that he (Smokey) knows that.
He was strongly against any points deduction last time for exactly the reasons that you mention.
Professional sport is all about money and if you havent got heaps of the stuff, it will always be a struggle.

If the clock could be wound backwards, Marwan K would probably have wished that he'd put his cash into Bradford.

Oh yes I realise he's a friendly voice in a world of "Cut your cloth" and "have you thought about being a supporter run" and "I've no sympathy" parochial twits.

Didn't he try to do that indirectly through Mrs Koukash? The problem with his efforts at Salford have been down to the team underachieving and a lack of consistency (One step forward and two back). Until Salford start performing regularly and shake off the inferior SL club tag the Salford public won't associate themselves with them. This year was much better apart from the points deduction but the club has to build on this now.

No sympathy here Green and co did his best to stitch us up last year, added with the yorkshire "Koukash would have been better off with the Bulls nonsense"

Some karma for Koukash after what Green did but I'm sure he'll feel sympathy for the loyal Bulls supporters, players and staff.
