micheal platt has just tweeted that their understanding is they will be in champoinship next year unless a buyer can be found

Contracts apply until Nov 30th. We'll know by then whether it's SL or bust...

Was ever thus...

He may have a release clause in his contract enabling him to go. If I were him I'd be keen to stay where I'd got such a good deal in the past.

"the best laid plans...."

May the force be with you. You now have a fair chance of remaining as a rugby league club with proper directors, even if there is a lot of rebuilding left to be done.

i dont think he was refering to just him lol as samutt has retweeded it.lets hope you can find a buyer and stay in s/l but looks like its gunna be a fresh start for you guys

Once SLE is in charge - all players whether ooc or not can start looking for something else. Quota players have been shafted though, no dispensations

So how exactly are better off then we were before? To me, the only thing that appears to differ is now we know the date we are going to be thrown out of Super League.
How can we build for next season? How can we sell tickets? How can we sign or re-sign players?
Sorry to be so negative, but to me this seems purely just a stay of execution. Where is the buyer going to come from before November?

Yes

We can't do any of these things. We can only watch our current squad disappear from next week.



If BG was the problem, he is now going to be removed. Other than that - we don't know.

So, is the plan, or hope, that this gives a Supporters Trust model enough time to become the new club owners?

As debaser says, something had better happen real damn quick, or else next season is gorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr n. There's players' new contracts and extensions, there's coaching and other staff, and who the hell will still even be around by November?

It finishes the season, and very neatly sidesteps the problems for the whole competition caused by the present debacle, but doesn't save Bulls as an SL club, nor will it, absent a viable new owner PDQ.

Indeed, so not a great deal better off then.

Given that liquidation was imminent it's better than that.

Be grateful for small mercies.

Start praying that those bidders start rolling in.....

Mmmm. Excuse my cynicism, but to me this looks like the other clubs agreeing to keep us going til the end of the season to avoid bad press. Nothing more.
Are SL really going to keep us going next year in the Championship?

No way.
