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?
