Troubled Bradford’s staff paid on time

Bradford: Bulls administrator Brendan Guilfoyle has confirmed that the club’s players have received this month’s wages on time.

Guilfoyle, partner at the Leeds-based P&A Partnership, is running the ailing Super League club on a shoestring budget while searching for a buyer.

The club raised some cash from last Sunday’s home game against London Broncos but the bulk of the wage bill came from an advanced payment by the Rugby Football League from the Sky television money due next week.

“We are extremely grateful to the Super League and to the RFL for advancing us funds to enable us to pay the July wage bill,” he said.
