Quote: rhinoms "If its a simple clarification why was it refused point blank twice?
I never said they demanded a SL franchise forever either the RFL have already said it will be reviewed at the end of the year which is spot on so why should they give any guarantees from that review before its taken place?
They had offers for players earlier in the season by their own admission which they turned down did they not?
If not they should have and made clubs aware players with any market value would be available for the right price if it meant saving the club.'"
I don't know why the RFL won't clarify their position but suspect they haven't decided their position. To fix this, they're going to have to. No one is going to buy the club and take all those liabilities with the risk of being ejected from SL in just a few weeks ahead of the club. The market value of those players now is currently effectively zero.
Again I can't speculate, on why Bradford didn't sell more players earlier, but it's "now" we're talking about, not the past.
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?
