Former Bradford coach Mick Potter said he felt as though he’d been “stabbed in the front” after he was one of 16 staff dismissed by the cash-strapped Super League club on Monday.

Potter lost his job, as did his wife Megan – who worked in the ticket office – and several other employees as part of a round of redundancies announced by administrator Brendan Guilfoyle, who is involved in a race against time to prevent the club going into liquidation.

Last week Guilfoyle warned Bradford had just “10 days” to save themselves from extinction.

Potter’s dismissal came just three days after he guided Bradford to a 30-22 win away to Wigan, the Super League leaders.

Bradford chief executive Ryan Duckett was also among those sacked Monday.

“This is an attempt to reduce our cash requirements,” Guilfoyle said.

Guilfoyle stressed the club still intend to fulfil Sunday’s Super League home game against London Broncos.

Four-time Super League champions Bradford, whose roots go back more than a hundred years, have failed in their bid to secure the STG1.2 million ($A1.85 million) they needed to see out the end of the season.

An angry Potter, who was given the opportunity to continue his job unpaid, said: “I feel let down and deceived about what has been going on.

“I feel sad for the fans and the players and all the staff who have been made redundant.”

Asked if he had been stabbed in the back, Potter said: “I have been stabbed in the front. It’s a disgrace.”

Bradford’s directors filed a notice of intention to enter administration on June 13 in order to buy them more time to find investment, with UK tax authorities threatening to wind up the club over unpaid bills amounting to around STG300,000 ($A462,000).

“In the month of July I will need around a quarter of a million pounds to keep the club going and I’ve got 20,000 maximum in the bank,” Guilfoyle said.

“I have made 16 redundancies, including Mick Potter and three coaches. I am looking at fulfilling Sunday’s fixture.”

In a statement, the Rugby Football League said: “The RFL is concerned by the news that the official administrator of Bradford Bulls has made all the club’s non-playing staff redundant.

“The governing body received no official notification of this action. The RFL is continuing to establish the facts behind this development and will not be making any further comment until we have spoken to all the parties involved.”
