Looking at this situation from the outside i get a bad feeling about this and i think the favourite is that its all going to end in tears . the rfl cannot give assurances to any consortium about the bulls super league status as they can only make recommendations to the other clubs who will then decide whether the bulls remain in super league and such as the saints chairman has stated publicly that as much as he likes the bulls he will oppose them remaining in super league under a newco .The lease on odsal is also a major stumbling block imo as the rfl cannot justify giving it away and i cannot for the life in me see asian businessmen burning a million quid to buy it back with conditions . It has of course been in the administrators favour to prolong the admin period now that his wages have been coughed up by other parties , i hope i am wrong but i fear the worst in the next couple of weeks .It might not be the end of the world though for the bulls to liquidate and a new club form to challenge for a championship place as with the bulls supporter base and some quality management a return to the top flight may be only a few years away .

Would it not make sense for some sort of agreement between all parties? If Khan gets the nod he will surely be looking at ways to maximise the use of the stadium?

I think this is the best way forward. I would probably go and watch BPA as well if they moved to Odsal.

I think too much is being read into the YP article.

The way I read it, the other SL clubs have all agreed that SL should remain a 14 club competition and have been updated on the progress of the bids for the Bulls.

There doesn't seem to be any guarantee that the Bulls WILL be in SL next year, and I suspect that if there isn't a business plan that addresses the historic debts then the Bulls will lose their licence.

Simples

the Jamie Langley article in the tna today confirms RDMs interpretation, that one obstacle is out the way whatever else remains

Fingers crossed eh?
