| Bullmania's point remains though. The rugby genius of Lowes and Ferres working together to sign so many players that were patently not up to it or were either never given a chance, recruited on a whim, dropped for no reason or sank without a trace while at the same time others were picked repeatedly despite being utterly rubbish was a huge reason we're in this mess.
Was Ferres really recommended by the RFL? If so I think they owe us.
tigertot - the other was Ryan Hudson

To be fair though, even if they'd got this right, we'd have still had Green at the helm so would still have been totally screwed at some point. I was happy to blame it all on Ferres and see Green as unfortunate but not [ibad[/i. Given the comments from the adminisrator about lack of management information as well as my own insider stories of his behaviour, I can't help but think that we were screwed no matter what with Green in charge. At least that particular false dawn is over.

| I've seen this tweet from Mick (yes, i know, but..)
"One of the prospective new owners interested has said that there is exception for leave of insolvency section 216 via application of appeal"
In response to Rodd Studd questioning whether new owners would be allowed to use the Bulls brand...
Is there any truth in this? Does this mean that potentially the club itself could still avoid liquidation after all and still be able to operate as the Bradford Bulls?

Don't think so, it means that at the discretion of the court the NewCo can use the Bradford Bulls name/brand etc

1. It's from Mick.
2. It's from Mick.
3. It also includes Rod Studd
As I understand it the liquidator can sell the name as it's a registered trademark. Sounds like someone wants it cheap! Liquidation is a done deal.

I'm sure we'd have gone bust at some point but with more careful squad management we might have scraped it into 4th place and put of admin v3.0 until some point next season.

| Over 24 hours since the announcement of a "New Co" in the Championship and I haven't thought of an scenario where it would work unless someone walked in with about £5m burning a hole in their pocket, and willing to spend about £1m+ of that to simply tread water for a season.

Well indeed. I just want as much pain upfront as possible. However I guess pain is not a zero sum game.

| I am presuming, now, that continued occupancy of Odsal is basically a stipulation. If only by circumstance if not an actual condition of re-entry.

Me too.
Chances of that happening are billions to one.

| Olbison to Widnes and Sidlow to Toronto apparently.
This liquidation business is easy. Definitely better than just a regular admin...

| On the bright side, if we keep going at this rate I might get my donation to the welfare fund back. *sigh*
