StatementSuper League (Europe) Ltd has taken decisive action to secure the future of Bradford Bulls by tabling an offer to purchase the club from the official administrator on behalf of the Super League clubs.

The bold offer was submitted to the administrator last night after Super League Chief Executive Nigel Wood and the Super League clubs put together an innovative rescue package.

SLE now believes the offer represents the best solution to a problem that is threatening the survival of one of Rugby League’s most celebrated clubs and which remains the source of considerable uncertainty and disquiet across the whole sport.

Wood said

Fkn hell. SL has bought us. Cue insanely furious Fax and Wakey fans.

Website is legit, right?

sadler just tweeted super league europe are to table an offer to take bradford out of administration

Still all think the RFL and the SL clubs are the bad guys?

Speechless.

Bloody 'ell.......

Why??

SL / RFL owning a team in SL. Sorry but i am now done with the game of rugby league.

now that's set a precident....any other club that finds itself in admin will expect the same treatment..........

what if no-one comes forward...will the RFL spend up to the full cap next year....something that other SL clubs are unable to do...

are they going to pay all the creditors ..??????

Just wondering...does the SlE bid have any pre-conditions??

They must have read my "What Bradford have done for RL" post.

Hang on a min with the thread title amendment guys, they have only submitted a bid as of now. It could still be refused!

Be clear - the other SL clubs now own the Bulls, not the RFL.

I imagine they will want to sell them at the earliest opportunity though (credible buyers only need apply - not property developers).

The People's Team.

I'd assume it will be done in a businesslike manner and what is spent on cap (assuming we're still in Sl, remember the RFL won't accept pre-conditions) will depend on how much takings are for season passes and the like.
