Highly intriguing FA ... can't wait for the next instalment ...

So what if it is indeed Richardson of Wasps, his trump card in negotiations with the RL might be to threaten to convert the Bulls to the other code ... now that would get Big Nige shuffling uncomfortably in his chair ... just a thought

It wouldn't work. The Bulls is a franchise and can be bought and relocated anywhere, but in this case would probably be a fiscal disaster in terms of support, but converting it to Union would not work as where would the brand fit in within Union?
The RFL could certainly cobble a Newco with a different name if required to play at Odsal, but that would mean starting as a the majority of Bulls have said from the bottom and no debts clean slate etc! Though it would mean the RFL suffering financial discomfort and I certainly have no problem with that!

As I said, just a thought! But an intriguing one nevertheless.

Good morning. And welcome to another exciting day. Stay tuned for more rumour, intrigue and shock relegation as the Administration/Liquidation continues...

So why should all those expressing interest now bother to do all the work required by the RFL, if all this is going on behind their back. Plus whats this about Bulls being a franchise? They were a trading company the same as any other club.

To an outsider something does not smell right about this. Plus I would not accept shares in a company that would never yield a penny to me. Yet more murkiness associated with the Bulls club.

Business registered, web domain purchased. Both these done just in case he gets the club not because he has got the club.

However if all this is true I would expect an announcement from the RFL stating they are no longer looking for people to start a new club in Bradford.

Is this all going to end in tears again?

The involvement of Green makes me nervous

Green should never be allowed near any R L club again.

It's going to be amusing if he turns up at games. Good luck walking through the fans...

How will fans of other clubs cope???
Reading this part of the RFL statement

It is hoped that many of the supporters and stakeholders of Bradford Bulls would naturally, in the absence of any other Bradford based RL club, switch their allegiance to the new RL club.

Most of the insults won't work anymore
You're not a big club anymore- err no we are new
You're not in super league anymore- err we never have been
And so on and so forth
It will be a club with no history
It may be called Bradford and play at odsal but will have no links to previous Bradford sides

Even if they are willing to pump some funds in its going to take some serious investment in playing staff to avoid "the drop" on 12 point deduction and KR 3 times.
