According to BBC text BG has extended the deadline, doesn't say any time span though.

The money will no doubt be deducted from future payments that all clubs receive. More of a loan than a handout from RFL coffers.

It still must be one of the first administrations (lengthy as opposed to prepack) in the history of sport not to shed or sell players in order to pay unsustainable overheads through the period.

Genuine question: in this process are administrators paid weekly/monthly or at the end of the "project"? If the former, is Guilfoyle effectively asking the RFL to pay the players because he's earmarked much of the wage budget for his company's fees? If the latter is he holding on to assets so the new owners will have extra capital to pay him?

Also...where is the money actually *going*? In the last month there's been income from substantial non-season-ticket home gates, a stock clearance, and a substantial 'extraordinary payment' from Leeds. Meanwhile Bradford have sacked their backroom staff, don't have an overdraft to service (thanks, pledge), have cut funding to their academy and it apperars aren't bothering with paying the taxman. So why is there's still not enough income to meet expenditure?

Perhaps some RL journalist could tell us if they ever decided not to "keep their distance".

Surely your joking right, you had £200k three weeks ago, firesale of goods, free donations, tickets etc, free coaching staff and the administrator wants another £200k that wouldn't be due for a while with no reassurances of getting it back, that'd why other clubs fans take the mickey, not out of the fans or their plight but as yet I'm not aware Bradford Bulls are a registered charity.

Can you provide a quote to back up your assumption. I understand what you are saying however, these loans still need to be re payed the club is haemorrhaging money the ABC consortium have already stated how much money they may have to lose to even get near to steadying the ship and this process will take a considerable time. When does Guilfoyle think he can pay back this loan.

Even if the RFL were to agree to pay the players, its surely unrealistic to expect the coaches to keep on working for nowt.

The decision will have been that the Bulls completing the season and SL not having to work out how to divy up their points (remember Rhinos play us 3 times) and some teams have a bye week from now the end of the season is worth more to the RFL than a couple of months wages.

I cannot see any way the RFL could justify paying the players via a loan or a handout. Every other club would have a legitimate case to argue that they deserve similar payment.

And some of them couldn't anyway. There was a report Mick Potter had been contacted regarding his work visa.

Whilst the coaches as you put it are working for nowt. I bet you anything their expenses bill is pretty high!!
I agree with some of the posters on here in as much as what is the point teams like Widnes, Leeds and Warrington giving money to the Bulls when most of it will go to pay the Administrator.
The Board screwed money out of fans and ex players before and where did that go?
There has been the sale of players and the lease and still the Bulls want a million to stay afloat.
If it were a Bull it would be shot by now.
Why prolong the agony?
The RFL should pull the plug now or pay up until the season ends and everyone can get on with sorting this one great club out wherever it might be playing.
