Where do they go from here? For me they need to step away from Sl (Which wont happen) and reform again in the Championship. Too many problems and issues are stopping the current club from ever going forward despite the potential is has.

The biggest Indian restaurant in the world.

biggest drive through restaurant, ive said that from the day he took over lol

I love the part where they say they have consulted with 3 other West Yorkshire Sl clubs, so I'm guessing Leeds, Cas and Wakey. Well the latter 2's business models must be as big a pile of dog doo as the Bulls.
I guess with all this stuff going on they'll be keeping somebody employed full time at Red Hall checking on director suitability.
It goes on and on and will make RL a laughing stock once again in 2014.

So Sahiba have lost your business Sean?
Congratulations on your recent arrival, saw the three of you in Halifax the other day, you looked very proud.
It's a long and hard road from now but, well worth it.

"Sense check our budgets" What does that mean in plain English?maybe Little Rich could elucidate

=#0000FFElucidate? all liitlerich will be doing now is hallucinate.




Incidentally Bentleyman how was your trip to New York, more importantly are the apples really that big?
Happy Christmas.

How
Have
They
Still
Got
A
License?????

The longer they are allowed to stay in SL the bigger a slap in the face to those clubs in The Championship who strive to keep their nose clean and produce a great brand of RL on the pitch. It's disgusting.

Merry Christmas Fax Fans!

What a load of rubbish '" Castleford Tigers - Grade C Castleford Tigers provided a well presented and authored application, detailing realistic, intelligent and achievable strategies for future commercial and supporter growth. =#00FFFFHowever the strategies and targets are to a degree based upon the move to a new facility in 2013. At present Castleford are a well-run, sustainable club that lives within its means and produces above average numbers of Super League quality players. Whilst hamstrung by an inadequate facility, and the restrictions on commercial revenues and supporter base this causes, the club makes a good contribution to the Super League. Significant growth of the business is reliant upon the club moving to the proposed new stadium to enable further investment in management, first team squad and player production. The significant challenge for the club in the next Licence period will be to move to the proposed new facility. Can any one direct me there for tomorrow.

Virtually all those assessments are open to ridicule, probably only Leeds have tangible saleable assets that could produce a monetary value return, all the rest are built on sand

SL? , you're havin a laff

We all knew this would happen Mr Bug!

What did us "flat cappers" know eh? I'd laugh in their face if it wasn't so depressingly obvious!

Here's a question for you though. What do you think their next wonderful scheme will be to get Toulouse in their manufactured sham?

Remember, they've already tried:

Geographical location
Financial stability
New facilities
Youth development
Sound, not speculative business plans

Go for your life

I am genuinely worried that SKY will pull the plug when this deal is up, no mention of it in their 2014 spring advert currently running, so I dont think Toulouse will be given an invite

They could be the only club with a tv deal, if we believe the hype?

I don't think sky will pull the plug, RL sells itself way too cheaply for that. Might offer reduced money or free advertising on sky pencil erasers!

I aint a flat-capper.....

The trip was great,dont let anyone tell you that American beer is crap we found some really good ones and yes the apples are massive

The biggest thing which smacks you in the face with all this is that the RFL allow anybody who will throw their hat in the ring to save a club without much fuss as all the RFL want is to firstly save the clubs concerned which is understandable and secondly to save face and especially the now totally ridiculed FRANCHISE system. The trouble is the people who step forward may be totally unsuitable but it doesn't matter to the RFL they just want anybody out there to step forward, do they check these people? I doubt it as come on we had the double glazing guy at Wakey now bust I believe, the total fruitcake at Salford (ask Swinton and Oldham fans about him) and a curry house owner at Bradford.
Yet as we all have said when Championship clubs had to submit their bids and were very publicly put through the mincer.
But they allow SL clubs to run a bus through their own Franchise rules, this is why I hate it as it means the game is controlled by a few very powerful people who ALL have to bow down to.

It's like a Carry On film . Just seen that the three directors who stood down have now returned to the club .

Well everything is going to be all right then

Give them an A licence. There's nothing to see here

The club are a complete shambles, fighting in public and falling out in lumps - cannot see any resolution in the long term.

Have a look under the carpet, you'll find it there!

It appears that Bolton FC are £163m in debt. Just as shocking is to learn the wage bill is £32m. Apparently it is at its lowest since 2007!

Clearly the Bulls should simply switch sports

That wage bill is higher that the whole of the worlds rugby league wages and almost equals the UK rugby union total....I feel that perhaps there is a bit too much money in soccer
