dogmc Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Another important distinction is that Rugby League is currently configured as a modern, TV based construct anyway. These clubs with silly names like Bulls and Rhinos are successors of ones like Bradford Northern. Given the 'corruption' that's been allowed in the name of marketing anyway, there's perhaps less of a leap required to sacrifice sport once more at that altar. As soon as they accepted the notion of voting teams into superleague rather than straight promotion / relegation the die was cast. I would suspect that many if the franchises are on the edge of the precipice financially and are heavily reliant on sky cash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they get big bonuses as well? Also be good to know how much Duncan Fraser gets, the Chief Exec i'm presuming you're talking about. Couldn't see it on the Annual Report. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger, more prestigious, more successful club commands a higher salary. Seems obvious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbycoxblue Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Rugby is not filled with as much hatred and bitterness as football , sure one of Bradford Bulls biggest rivals actually donated money to them a few years ago when they were in financial trouble . Not entirely sure if it was Bradford Bulls , might have been another one of the major teams . The reality is in regards to the whole rangers situations , people on both sides got whipped into an media driven frenzy wether it was the "we are the people, sink us and we will sink you " side of the arguement or the "pyoor cheating b*****ds, strip the titles " side of the arguement . Some as this thread unfortunately shows on a regular basis are still stuck in this frenzied stated which is unfortunate for them Hate to disagree.. I can see no grey area.Rangers as they sit are a new club. All titles belong to the old club. The old club should keep these title IMOAnd the debate on which sport it is (football or rugby league) makes no difference.In business, liquidation is liquidation. Or am I not getting it ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not discussing grey areas or what you personsally thing in regards to how you view rangers/ sevco or whatever you want to call us . The point is that Bradford Bulls will probably be allowed back into the premiership with little or no fuss from opposition or their own fans Edited January 5, 2017 by Forever_blueco 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
