| As far as I can see, the RFL are not in a position to take "decisive" action. If they are being asked to "guarantee" Bradford's franchise, that's clearly not a tenable position. Franchises have always been conditional, and that can't be altered for one club.
If they are in a position to advance Bradford cash for this season's TV rights, no harm in that as far as I can see. Whether it's a great way for a new venture to start out from the club's point of view is another matter...
Am I right in saying though that the decision to liquidate or not rests largely with the administrators?
It does appear that the decision to buy the lease on Odsal may not have been a great piece of business by the RFL. If Bradford did fold, or move to Valley Parade (not impossible surely?) as a Newco, then what would that asset be worth, given the covenants on it?

| Quote: Andy Gilder "SL is an organisation run by its member clubs. Those member clubs have the final say on whether a newly formed company can come and play in their competition.
The issues around the transfer of the franchise and what happens if the club is wound up and starts again as a Newco are two different ones, decided by two different bodies. A Newco Bradford side would still need the approval of the other SL member clubs even if the RFL decided to transfer the franchise IIRC?
If that is the case, then the RFL cannot give the guarantees that are being sought about SL membership because it is simply not in their power to give it.
I can't help but think looking in from the outside that both Guilfoyle and Coulby are desperate to shift the blame for the failures of themselves or others onto the RFL just so they don't cop the backlash of public opinion when this deal falls apart.'"
How hard can it be for the RFL to get that vote from the SL clubs now, today?

Don't know, presumably the clubs would want to know more about who or what they are voting to admit first?

| Quote: Richie "Do you really think it wrong for any potential buyer to ask which league a club with a year to run on its SL licence will be in next year?'"
The current license awards cover the seasons 2012 to 2014 inclusive.
It appears that Bradford are now considered to be too big to fail.
