Fans of the shittest championship clubs are just really keen to be up against a team on minus 12.
i.e Oldham
Yeah, there's a big difference between not relegating a team and promoting a team with four weeks to go before the start of a season. There's also a big difference between RL and soccer which makes it even more ridiculous in this case. Look, if you Aussies with no experience of promotion and relegation think this would be a good idea then that's fine, you can keep thinking that if you like, but you have no idea what you're talking about and are objectively wrong. Again, this is a stupid discussion to even be having.
You're right, you can just have a team waste a whole year in league 1 not taking the place of the new Bradford team if it even goes ahead. This clusterf*ck in the English setup isn't limited to Bradford. Look at the multitude of North Wales teams that have relaunched. The failure of South Wales being kept going due to stubborness. The liquidation of York City. Bradford being in administration 3 times in 5 years.
You're delusional if you think a League 1 side such as Barrow, Newcastle, Keighley etc, wouldn't want the chance to jump up to the Championship and try it there. Bradford's squad are all free agents so they could grab a few. Insert Toronto into the fray and avoid the inevitable - the 10 fans booking tickets to Toronto can offset them to Championship clubs. I'm sure Whitehaven and/or Workington Town would like some input.
It's not as though it's a sudden shock, it's been coming for 5 years. The sheer arrogance and stubborness of the RFL to keep Bradford around is astonishing. Starting the season at -12 with a depleted squad means barring a miracle they're going to be relegated for next year and will have to start League 1 in more debt through lack of funding and face hardship again.
But it's easy to start a brand new club with four weeks to go.
Signed, the f**king geniuses that brought you this clusterf**k. We know what we're on about.
Hahaha I know right.
And the rfl don't expect to finalise this new club till two weeks before.
Only because of sheer arrogance that these abused players/staff will stay in Bradford because everything will change under the new name PMSL.
Horrible management from Bradford and the RFL. Start fresh in league 1, earn your way back up like it should be done. I'd wonder if they had the same issues with Salford, for example, if they'd rule something similar.
