Omar Khan made final Bradford Bulls payment late
7:00am Saturday 9th February 2013 in Bulls
By Hannah Postles, T&A Reporter
Omar Khan
A dispute has broken out between Bradford Bulls’ boss Omar Khan and the administrators of the former crisis-torn outfit.
It left the new owner delaying making his final £25,000 payment for the club because he believes he is out of pocket.
The Telegraph & Argus can exclusively reveal a report published by administrators The P&A Partnership claims the restaurant owner was being pursued by solicitors after failing to pay the money due on November 30.
The progress report for creditors, dated January 28, also says the new company owes £15,200 for expenses incurred by the administrators for the club’s home game against Hull FC the day after Mr Khan (pictured) bought the club on August 31.
But the OK Bulls boss last night said he paid the £25,000 bill for the club last week – part of his £150,000 bid – after initially delaying the payment because he believed the administrators owed him money for expenses incurred before his tenure began which he paid.
He and club honorary chairman Gerry Sutcliffe are due to meet the administrators on Monday to discuss the remainder of the money owed and say they hope to come to a resolution.
Asked about the reason for the two-month delay in the £25,000 payment, former Sports Minister Mr Sutcliffe said it was “because of the argument that has been going on since then over who owes who what”.
He added: “The £150,000 for the club has now been paid.
“There are issues around the August wages that we paid, even though we didn’t take over the club until September.
“There are also issues around money for a brewing company at the Hull FC game, which they are saying we should have to pay.”
Joint administrator Brendan Guilfoyle confirmed the £25,000 had been paid since the report had been written.
The report, which has been filed with Companies’ House, states the £25,000 owed was covered by a “personal guarantee” from Mr Khan, adding: “We are actively seeking payment of the outstanding sales consideration, which was due no later than November 30, 2012, and our solicitors have been instructed to pursue these monies.
“OK Bulls also undertook to reimburse the joint administrators for expenses they had pain in advance relating to a fixture which took place after the completion of the sale. These were outlined in the sale agreement and amounted to £8,296 payable within seven days of the sale.”
It also revealed Mr Khan will pay an additional £100,000 for the club if it retains its Super League status during the 2014-15 season and that the insolvency firm has invoiced for £288,631 of work since Bradford Bulls Holdings went into administration, including £92,640 for the work of partners.
It also gives an update about the claims received so far from preferential and unsecured creditors, which it says stands at £29,674 and £1,087,569.

Hahaha, love all the racist pretext behind some of the comments.
You guys should be happy they decided to buy the club and you still have a club to "support", follow and watch!
I say "support" cos it's clear a lot wont back their club up. I read Bulls have pretty cheap tickets compared to other clubs; so isnt part of the financial problem that their fans refuse to spend money on the club?
If that is the case the club should fail, as a club cannot survive without it's fans' support!
Omar has a valid argument, why should he pay for the August wages and the brewery thing at the Hull game when he did not own the club; unless that was part of the selling conditions.

Now back to topic don't complain Omar pay up, after all it won't be first time you gave heard that statement.
Don't take this burden on yourself either when is sutcliffe going to spend some of his large salary or is he just along for the ride like others.
OK is been taken for a ride .

EGG, do you have a spell checker, if so, I advise you to use it.
OK should pay for something that happened in August, when he took over the club in September. That's like saying you buy a house in May, but have to pay the mortgage for April. If that was the case I think you would argue the point. No, you'd pay.

We must offer them our backing regardless which consortium is running the show.
This does mean that every five or so years one or the other club is in some sort of financial trouble....

"wembley bound" your grammar is a joke. You need to learn some English before you mock people. Shame you were sucking on your mummy's breast till your early teens and only stopped wetting the bed a year ago. I hope when you finally grow up and stop being breast fed that you realize you should support both teams in Bradford like the rest of us.

If Bradford South MP Gerry Sutcliffe put as much effort into his constituency as he has the Bulls, he would be doing a great job. But he isn't and he doesn't.
lokk at those three pints of lager lined up in front of him in the Live blog of todays Hull game.
where the packet of Cheese and Onion?
busy tweeting fans.
All two of them that could be bothered.
Sad that omar could not even find £25 grand until Akbar came in with a donation.
Would love to see the bookeeping up at Odsal.
I"m told its very creative.
Thought the reporting at the time said the August wages were to be paid from RFL advancing Sky money due in the future.
Who knows the control in admin was so bad.
£288000 and Guilfoyle was never there.
Mrs P was in charge.
Wonder what happened to the fans £400000 they raised.
Filched?
Given the true figure for creditors who have yet to claim stands more like £2 million.And rising.
He was sold a dead pup.
Be dead inside 6 months maybe with the history of personnell now involved at the Bulls having a sad record in insolvency.
Great fella.
Great enthusiasm.
Which lasts not long.
Bradfordians have no money.
The place is on its uppers.
But thank god the Bulls have a trier when noone else wished to touch it with a barge pole

I dont care about the politics, I just enjoy a game of rugby.
Not a game for the light hearted. The only diving you see is someone with the ball in his arms, attempting to get it over the try line. A civilised game where supporters can watch their team with no fear of their personal safety.
