I'm absolutely disgusted by this. This is a real kick in the teeth for clubs such as mine (Cas) who cut their cloth accordingly to have to pay for a club who knowingly spent up to salary cap when their club was in difficulty. If I was a Bradford fan I would be embarrassed and ashamed. But they're not.
Quote: Fax Machine "So the bidders say
Bradford City have said they will buy The Bulls if in super league or championship though, but what goes on in these negotiations we'll never know.

That is their PUBLIC announcement. Cue SLE/RFL (in private) reply.
That's pretty much it. ABC's bid was obviously unpallatebale to the RFL so they trotted out this "unconditional" clause but, like with their amazing subjective licensing "criteria" they can use it to suit their agenda when a "proper" bidder comes in.
They've probably done so much winking yesterday that their eye-lids are dropping off.
I'll be glad when this sorry saga is over. Only one more year left and the licensing process starts again - how are the RFL going to add credibility to the process after Bradford have just effectively brought the whole system into disrepute for the last 6 months?
