I wish that was the case and if we had been 'saved' sooner then perhaps the 6 points is a fair punishment. As it stands however we are practically in liquidation due to many many years of overspending and only surviving at all due to the goodwill of the staff and the actions of the other RL clubs.

Unfortunately 6 points is this season's 'punishment' only and unless things dramatically change very soon, we will have to rebuild in the Championship.

It will be sickening to lose some of our best players (particularly the local talent that we have produced) but I have no doubt that if the majority of the core fan base sticks with the club then we will be back near the top of Super League within the next 10 years.

I believe a mysterious bid - promising cash up front - has arrived on Guilfoyle's desk.

does the bidder have to pass a "fit and proper persons test" by the RFL to be considered

Ken you say who it is, Mick? Come on, tell us morr.

That's a joke/wishful thinking btw.

Yup. If Caisley did expect to put in a bid of last resort he was "snookered" as you say by the SLE bid.
Interesting that the SLE bid of last week has not been responded to by Guilfoyle so far.
If, as he had previously said, that there were no other bidders, why is he holding back on accepting the SLE bid?
I very much take your point about this being an unfunded administration for Guilfoyle, though there is also an issue for him professionally. Can he deliver a result that leaves the present company or its successor in a viable trading position?. If he can not he will have failed and done P&A's reputation no good.
