A one year contract at Wakefield? How does that secure his long term future?

He has a guaranteed wage at the end of every month.

Do you seriously think players like living with the uncertainty at the bulls? They are human beings.

The lease on odsal stadium, have they done that for any other club?

The ''secret loan'', have they done that for any other club?

As one of the flagship clubs of the super league, the rfl has no incentive to supposedly screw bradford over. This victim mentality is tiresome though entirely understandable considering the cicrumstances the bulls are in.

Do you know if

1. Other clubs have asked for a loan secured against an asset? Suggest you don't, but loan against asset affects balance sheet and ability to fund an overdraft (as it did in 2012) and impacts long term viability of business (as it has)
2. Secret loan was an advance, which meant cash paid early. Are you suggesting we got more than everyone else? If you are you're wrong.

Biggest sickner here is the phrase "nominal fee"

Not a bit. You must remember the administrator is calling the shots, any money incoming would only go to him, it would not go to any new owner, so it may as well be a fee of nil.

I also guess this kind of answers the queries about TUPE - looks like basically the players if they want to leave are pretty much free agents now and any fee will presumably be to transfer their registration.

Are you for real?

I never said he hadn't been paid.

Our trolls and critics seem to have been dead right about one thing, anyway. You know that huge commercial advantage we are reaping this year through having apparently not paid our way properly last year? It's there for all to see, isn't it. At least every single other club in the league is now really dead jealous of this massive commercial advantage we have over the rest. Yep, all green with envy.

Wow, Wakefield really are picking over the carcass. Can't really blame Scruton for finally having enough though. Still once again surprised by his choice of club if he is looking for long term security.

Can't blame Wakey at all, enough vultures were hovering over their players last year when they were in trouble!

Sad to see the Bulls in this state though, really feel for the fans!
