Quote: Bulliac "He is one of the claimants, I believe?
Still haven't worked out how the newco are involved, though. It makes little sense to me.'"
Little to me too unless there is clear evidence of collusion between the RF and chalo. That would be needed to get over the fact that the RFL advertised for interested parties to set up a club in the Bradford area, with the conditions laid out for all to see. The RFL could not know who was going to come forward and what their plans were, other than they included the conditions they had imposed. What we do not know is what conditions there were on the offers the liquidator received that caused the RFL to turn them down. The fact that they had their conditions - the 12 points penalty etc - completely up front might be a clue ( we will offer £???K provided theres no points deduction by the RFL, don't have to have an academy, etc). So that brings us to the prospect that it was all a stitch up for Chalo, and therefore some clear evidence of collusion to ensure that Chalo alone could get the deal.
