Marc Green statement / Appeal : Wed Jun 18, 2014 5:12 pm  

http://www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/news/article/9294/bulls-chairman-looks-to-the-future "we believe the decision reached by the Sporting Sanctions Appeals Panel was not only flawed but completely wrong and, as a result, I am willing to continue fighting the fight for this great club. “Whether we decide to continue in our quest to win back the points or not, the business is starting to lay strong foundations. If we are able to retain Super League status, we will continue to develop accordingly. If, however, we are relegated, we will put every effort into returning in the quickest time possible. The club will operate a full-time first team and there will be no redundancies as a result of relegation, in any department."

Impressive stuff & like his WWII analogy

Says all the right things for sure.

Interesting that's he's considering the option of going to High Court which would seem costly in both time and money.

I find his comment of the deduction being unpopular with others within the game a little odd, I can't recall any support from others in the media.

He means the club appealing the points decision is unpopular.

Re: Marc Green statement : Wed Jun 18, 2014 6:29 pm  

Good to see he will keep a full time squad for next season.

It will be if he goes through with it, because it would be months before it was heard, with total uncertainty for all in the meantime. If we break the habits of a lifetime and actually score some league points, it could mean a different club being relegated after the season had finished.

He publicly stated that every other club should support the right of appeal if the game was to have any credibility. he publicly stated that every club should stand by the decision of the appeals panel. He publicly stated he would stand by whatever decision was reached.

Now he is saying he doesn't stand by the decision of the appeals panel. I hope he does take his case to the High Court. Who will he be challenging. The RFL who handed down the original decision, or the appeals panel who upheld it?

His WW2 analogy is not only highly inaccurate, it is entirely distasteful.

He would be much better served focusing much more on positives like the club staying full time.

Pretty sure we got turned over at Dunkirk and won the rematch on D-day.
