Appears Mr C has played with the Bulls till he got the horns

Mmmmmmm really???? i think you will find i'm not the only person on here that thinks the same.

And why does it matter about the amount of posts i've made???

Well, if you had made 40,000 posts you could say you'd had time to get as apoplectic as some regulars are, so it was a sort of joke. Sorry if you have no sense of humour, but my pleasure to explain.

You know your stuff!

Then you are not the only person posting on here who cannot read.....

You are surely not suggesting that, despite the bollox reported in the media who were rolled by the words in the announcements, the ABC offer was actually £100k?

What an amazing thing...

What a crock of e, it's like the secret society.

RFL Corrupt from top to bottom, bought the ground and suggested this little gem to the other SL clubs.

Where was the same help for Crusaders and Wakefield? All those trophies win by spending money they didn't have and not gonna get any punishment from it.

Might as well do away with salary cap and the licensing cos it's a complete nonsense which this has now proved.

To other clubs, my advice would now be to spend well above your means in the hunt for trophies cos when it goes jugs up the RFL and SL will be there to bail you out. (be careful though cos they tend to pick and choose who to save and who ignore)

Well glad to see we've had a stay of execution (provided the bid is accepted). Hopefully this will lift the spectre of liquidation for a few weeks/months.

However it does mean we need to find a buyer soon as it's not a long term solution, how long have we got before SLE decides it's not worth the hassle? Until the end of the season? We won't be going into 2013 SL season owned by SLE will we?

Had to smile- The person who gave me that info was BG!!

As ever the devil will be in the detail and that detail won't uncover itself for some time I suspect. We have to admit this looks very strange, but I guess most people slagging this deal off are associating it with the RFL and not Super League Europe, which has been pointed out is owned by the clubs, so any supporter of a SL club moaning about this, needs to direct their concerns to their club chairman. One point - will the RFL accept the deal, I assume it will be a conditional offer which the RFL say they won't accept. As somoene who felt the future looked bleak I feel a little less concerned, but only a little, this soap opera will have many more twists and turns yet methinks!

Does this mean Potter and the rest of the crew get paid jobs back??

Whatever else, it SHOULD mean that the mother of all snookers has just been played.

I don't know what to say.
Could this whole thing get any weirder?

And, ahem, that I don't need to let my new avatar slink embarrassingly into a corner

Dont agree. This is a stop gap measure to;

Restore some credibility to Superleague
Provide some stability to the players
Get rid of the ABC bid which now looks as though could not put any money in
Allow remaining SL matches to be played
Allow time to see if a 'real' buyer could be found who puts RL 1st and making ££ second

An excellent move I would say.....but we are still not at the end yet.
