The alarm bells were ringing months ago, I would have thought the RFL would have had there own enquiry to avoid this superleague negativity. We,ve had some club chairmen having concerns of thr RFL transparency, maybe they are right.

Dont jump the gun people. The article says they are in talks with investors to come up with the 700k, no direct quote or indication they are asking the fans. If they cant get the money that way, I agree that they simply must get rid of some top earners and not expect people to help. They seem so reluctant to get rid of players but they arent exactly going to do anything this season anyway, maybe sneak into the playoffs (yes I know rovers are in the same boat). Surely they should try their damnest to help themselves, write this season off if it means a chance of avoiding administration

For clarification, in April they needed £0.5m to see out the month and another half mil by the end of the season.



Now, with the .5 already raised through the generosity of their fans and former players, they are after another 0.7m.



What will that be by the end of the season?



Time to sell some assets

They dont have any

where's adybull? Normally he's a;; over threads like these telling everyone that "he knows" what's going on and it's all fine



The Debt at Bradford would seem to be growing by about 150-200k a Month at present.........I would hate to see the club vanish, but surely it would be better for them to go into administration now, lose points and start building for 2013....at best they might get an away play-off game this year.



Not sure how many of those 10,000+ ST holders will be keen to purchase for 2013 unless some transparency is forthcoming.

Out of interest how did they lose 1.2million quid and over what period of time has this debt been building? I get the sense that maybe they couldn;t pay the rent on the ground and that is why the RFL stepped in to buy odsal so they weren;t kicked out and some clause invoked that allowed redevelopment of the ground?



Shame when you look at how they revolutionised the off the field game in early SL days. I guess nothing lasts forever?

Your confusing the bulls with keighely cougars, any hoot. Surely this has been coming since the exodus started when noble, fielden, vainikolo and the rest of them left. The bulls need to get real and stop trying to con their own supporters, they are stopping the progress of other clubs who maybe better suited to running a professional rugby league club.

You mean how they copied ' Cougarmania ' ?

Exactly!

According to a thread on the Wakey section, we are interested in signing Whitehead, Kopczak and Elima....



What goes around, comes around, ey? Remember Obst, Jeffries, Millard, Ferguson all being "poached" by the vultures? It seems like the tables could be turning. I doubt that we will sign them, but its nice to be linked with some good players for once.

I always enjoy the Cougarmania mythology.

£100k a month??? How is that even possible.



They spend £1.6m a year on first team players, get £1m a year from Sky so they have to pay £50k a month out of their own pockets for the players.



You would think that other staff and rent would get cancelled out by shirt sales, sponsorship and gates.



I guess having 10k fans that pay buttons for their season tickets doesn't help but there has to be something else going on to lose that much during the season.
