£300,000 extra for clubs : Mon Mar 03, 2014 9:17 am  

I try to follow most posts on here but have seen no confirmation from RFL or Super League about this distribution. Guy saying Wakey used this to get Scruton. Have we got our £300,000? Have we been fined this money? Are we only getting half of it? Any answers out there?

At the time when the RFL distributed the £300k every SL club that was not in administration got the money. RFL apparently keen that any potential buyer of the Bulls does not use the Sky 'dividend' to buy the club.

This is the RFL we are talking about... the distribution of it will be made up along the way!!

I believe Wakey also used money from that for Sammut

So those bar stewards at the RFL are paying clubs to take our players - you couldn't make this up, could you?

So instead of the Admin getting the money to pay creditors (the reason we are letting players go isnt it) the RFL keep it until we find a buyer instead of trying to move the process along, they must be mad.

Is this in public domain ie where can I read up on this.

Do we get the cash when we come out of Admin?

Wakey have effectively signed Scruton similar to a loan. They have given him a one year contract - 25 games actually. It seems to me they have taken him just for this year to help them stay safe then decide what to do with him - just like a loan. If we get sorted out, why can't we bring him back as his agent will be talking to people in the summer ready for next year.

If we get sorted out just bring him back anyway - contracts don't seem to be worth a light these days. It's just too easy; have a word with the agent let him do the grubbing around and throwing a few figures in the air, when he's unsettled they'll have little choice but to let him go. Simples.

It also might be worth pointing out that that the same bar-stewards are paying the wages of all of the players (not sold) at the Bulls this month so perhaps som e good grace is in order.
I'm not the biggest fan of the baffoons at Red Hall but from what i can see they could have not bothered to do that and leave it to the administrator to settle?
I'm trying to look from an objective POV to see if the RFL are being good or bad towards the Bulls and i honestly can't make up my mind, at times they have gone out of their way to support the Bulls over the last couple of years, and on others (more recently) they seem to be unfairly hamstringing the club in regards to re-righting the ship so to speak in particular.
I dont know if this is because they are a reactionary group, often without a clue and making it up on the hoof, one mistake after another and the latter always calling into question the former or whether this is an attempt at either even handedness or righting the former wrongs, as i said i really can't fathom it.
The management of the game from the top right down (minusing a couple of clubs) is a pantomime anyway, i am just having trouble making up my mind as to whether this is a pantomime of its own or just a scene from the RFLs grand production.
I feel for the fans.
