There is no doubt in my mind the RFL have compromised their own position with the unprecedented favour they have in the past showed Bradford. Buying your ground as totally outrageous. I Certainly believe that the RFL leave themselves wide open for not only critiscism but also legal action based on some of their decision making. still I have no knowledge as to the specific grounds under which Bradford feel s aggrieved and they appear not to want to tell anybody.
Green will not chuck any more money down the shoot regarding the points deduction - he was whistling in the wind - it wont make a jot of difference re the outcome as to who goes down - it will be broncos and bulls #gamesup

What about the £300,000 they loaned Wakefield to stave off the administration? Also, if we had known that a deal was being made between Peter Hood and the RFL, we would have done everything in our power to stop it. It was the worst thing that could have happened to our Club. It meant we had no collateral to stop the bank foreclosing and calling in the overdraft facility... so the money the supporters and other benefactors raised, ie £483,000 was as nothing. Also whilst in this mode, who amongst the other SL clubs, including Wakefield refused the extra £50k share from our reduced SKY compensation payments?
There is a lot gone on in the background which needs bringing to the public domain - lets have it out in the OPEN

Hood's decision was all to do with the continual disagreement between his faction of shareholders and Caisley's. if that hadn't existed, we would have had a very different past couple of years, and been a mid table team

I know different, the disagreement was after the sale, and probably because of it??

Re: Marc Green statement : Sun Jun 22, 2014 8:49 pm  

That's quite depressing to know that they agreed that the sales was the best option, and any disagreement was down the track! Hood must have really believed his fairy godmother was about to introduce herself.

The Sale was agreed between PH and RFL through Pincent Masons (Advisors to the RFL and the Bradford Bulls .No mention of Chris Caisley.

Do you have a link to what you think clubs were told?. Link I've already provided is most up to date I could find but remember it being in press around match time after clubs had voted restructure through and being discussed on forums.

Where do you stand on Starbug's general point that a Jose Mourinho-motivator could get the present squad to play?

I know I have begun to get a downer on the squad as several regularly don't put it all in, and don't play as a team, hence our 50 points a week giveaway, but in calm moments I do tend to agree. I still think that a coach like (just for a good example) old Peter Fox back in the day could come in and over time, make something quite decent out of this lot, as well as picking up cast-offs for nothing and improving the mix.

We've no money nor likely to have any to spend, so who is there that might fit the Fox mould? Wage deals permitting, we do I believe have a squad which, wit total belief in their coach and themselves, could easily finish at the top of the Championship and I say this for the simple reason that no Championship team this season, with the possible exception of Leigh, could approach the levels we showed in a couple of our rare wins, and they haven't turned into bad players, they're just impersonating bad players, albeit very well.

Fox wouldn't have stuck with this squad, not for a full season. Fox's basic approach was to identify the players in the squad that fitted his way of playing, make them the core and replace the rest. Often with fairly inexpensive players. End up with a squad where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. A clever coach with a good knowledge of players could do that to make sure we reduced the wage bill and finished top of the Championship. But bridging the gap between Championship and SL would still be almost impossible

No link Mat. Have spoken to Marketing guys from 2 SL clubs. Both said selling season tickets was tricky because if they were in the 2nd 8 they would not know if they had 3 or 4 home games until around game 23.Neither indicated that a 9-12th placed team would only have 3 home games. This is why I wondered if there was a definitive document.
