Yeah it was a quota exemption only.

Does anyone else think it smacks of desperation from Petitt? Threatening liquidation as MG wouldnt have got enough back, says going into liquidation to force a buyers hand, buyers say do it then! Petitt then delays appointing liquidator to try entice bidders back so MG and the administrator come away with something rather than nothing?

Exclusive: We understand the remaining Bradford Bulls players are due to have a meeting with a potential new owner this afternoon at Odsal.

They maybe need to look up the meaning of the word "Exclusive"

And wait until all the best players have gone as well? It would not be the shrewdest bit of business ever.

Whoever the new owner is, if the RFL deal which is currently on the table is taken up, then I see admin 4 on the horizon anyway. I find it hard to think we'll get through the season when the defeats pile up and the crowds drop to nothing.

Course, it'll be entirely our fault....and the RFL will come out of it, hands in the air, saying "we did our best", and smelling of effluent.

Depends how much brass they've got!

(Likely very little).

There must be clubs willing to loan us players that should see us OK if we make it to the season.

Theres that 'we understand' again. Translated to, 'we read it on social media'.

Perhaps not, but also perhaps they wanted some of the higher paid players off the wage bill? And maybe even to renegotiate other contracts?

It's been hinted that some of the wage bill was far higher than it should have been. Allowing all contracts to be severed first and then renegotiate them could be a way to help resolve that, even if it means having a lower quality squad at the end of it.

The latest I've heard is that the new owner would satisfy the creditors by something called a debt to share equity scheme whereby the biggest creditors would dissolve their debt for shares in the club to stop it from officially being liquidated. Genuinely interested to know who this new mystery owner is.
