What a complete utter joke. So that means Bulls would never ever ever get relegated then.

So, some clubs can do what the hell they like - they'll NEVER get booted out of SL. What a clique.

They're welcome to each other.

I hope they all rot in hell.

Sorry Crusaders

Sorry Wakefield

..... we (SL) didn't give a toss about you guys. -

Yours

Super League xxx

I want the Bradford club to survive, but not this way, it's ridiculous. We overspent, but rather than being bailed out we cut our cloth accordingly and went down, and took the 10 year+ hit of championship rugby.

Pretty obvious clubs like Salford, Castleford and Wakefield won;t get this support should they go through a touch patch. One rule for them, another rule for the rest of us.

Actually felt physically sick reading that.

Imagine the chants at Bulls games now, how embarrasing bet the championship doesn't look so bad now!

If the Bulls are owned by Super League, surely they will remain in Super League, which is then a conditional offer - which is why ABC was refused?

Purely from an legal point of view, surely there's an issue where the CEO of the RFL who refuses the ABC bid, then goes and buys it through SLE could be considered a conflict of interest?

Riddled with nonsense this whole thing.

I'm lost for words, really am getting more and more disillusioned with the sport at all levels.

If this is to see the Bulls thtough to the end of the season to prevent the mess of folding will do to the league table ...........then so be it, as long as they are then dropped down to CC1 and sold on then so be it ............ IF NOT THEN ............THIS WILL BE THE END for A lot of us with the sport I guess....

This is an absolute disgrace. Surely cannot be legal.

Next weeks Boots n' All should be interesting. Can here Eddie already "Ground breaking move by the innovative RFL". An absolute disgrace and questioned should now be asked by Wakefield and Crusaders as to why they were left to fend for themselves.

The only interest i now have in SL is just to see what ridiculous idea they can have next.

Bradford fans must be relieved but a little embarrassed too.

[i“This situation is clearly unacceptable and raises the tangible prospect that we could lose one of our most famous clubs, which would be a tragedy of significant proportions, not just to the sport and the city of Bradford but to the remaining staff, players and volunteers who all deserve some stability after the turmoil of recent events"[/i

Did the RFL say this when Halifax, Doncaster, Crusaders, Wakefield went into administration? I don't think so.

[i"Super League clubs have tabled an offer to purchase Bradford Bulls from the club’s official administrator"[/i

How are certain clubs in SL funding this offer? Correct me if I am wrong but aren't London, Cas, Salford and Hull KR already pretty skint and struggling to pay there own running costs right now.

I can see the logic and the hypocrisy.

However the RFL have to act as the situation at Odsal is becoming like a pantomime and dragging the whole game through the gutter, not mention the finance being sucked away by the administrator.

This will be a ploy to get Bradford out of the spot light and do the right thing by the players and staff at Bradford.
Pretty sure the club will be sold after 2012 season with a good amount of time spent on a deal that will work for both parties.

I fully expect Bradford to be operating in the championship in 2013, the uproar if not would be too damaging for the game overall.

Least the Scottish Premier League and Football League chairmen had morals and Rangers were FAR more important to their game than the Bulls are to ours.

Oldham, Leigh, Donny, Fax, Wakey, Crusaders all left to go to rack and ruin and nearly to the wall, they got themselves into this mess, should have left them to sort it out.

Next round of licenses:
"So Nigel, who should we give a license to this time?"
"Erm, well I suppose to start with we should give one to the club that we own, especially seen as we own the ground too."

Complete Joke. Makes a mockery of the game.
