"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.

The cynic in me is thinking IF no buyer found by whatever deadline they set then other clubs take our better players off us with whatevers left placed in championship with playing squad filled out with the other SL clubs young fringe players on dual reg deals turning us into a feeder club, with no prospect of ever coming back up.

IMHO all now depends on whether, and if so how quickly, a viable new owner comes along. Which as I posited could be a Supporters Trust though who would have the time or inclination remains to be seen. Clearly anyone now interested would be well advised to move very fast, as the bathwater has almost run out, and the baby is balanced precariously on the edge, but I don't think it is in contemplation, nor should it be, that SLE or RFL keeps us going next year, in any shape or form.

Excellent news! Genuinely chuffed for you guys, after all the cr@p you've had to deal with.

I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall when Caisley heard the news...

Could the other superleague teams-now that they own us- take our players???
