i guess that 13 other clubs would also be happy if the RFL paid wages for a month.
The comments suggest that the administrator is blackmailing the RFL. I will extend the admin process if you pay the wages.'"
Its an advance on their sky money, as stated above. |

When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.
Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7741.jpg |

I would say more like the responsible temporary current or recent persons operating the flagship SL club. The club itself is one of the most renowned rugby league clubs on the planet, with a great history, and great fans. It is to the eternal shame of whoever is responsible on the 2012 watch that they have let the flagship hit the rocks, but those people are not one and the same as the flagship itself, which is a million times bigger than them. |

This is why events unnerve me.: |

| BBC Sport's George Riley on Twitter: "Consortium CAN afford to buy Bradford but discussing if it can afford to cover losses. Any offer would depend on RFL handing back Odsal."

But did "the club" become "flagship" by being irresponsible financially? Did "the club" pick up its grand recent history and all the trophies on the back of financial recklessness? Are Bradford just an "ordinary" club, relatively speaking? |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

It's only an asset that they paid £1.25m for.
Why shouldn't they gift it to the newco? |

They will erect a statue at Odsal of Nigel Wood. They'll have to knock the Richard Dunn sports centre down to house it though. |

I think George got his words twisted.
Guilfoyle confirmed: “For the deal to go through we need the RFL to agree to us remaining in the top division and buying the ground back from them.

| Quote: Paul124897 "Guilfoyle confirmed
Sounds like blackmail to me.
The RFL didn't give such assurances to a potential owner of Wakefield when they were in administration so they shouldn't give them to any potential owner of Bradford either.
But I rather think they will.

Why is it so easy for people to jump to conclusions? The exact news release in full sounds nothing like blackmail!
Quote: SaintsFan "Bulls administrator Brendan Guilfoyle has warned that the deal for the club’s potential buyers would be dependent on conditions.
He explained that the RFL and the 13 other Super League clubs must consent to allow Bradford to remain in the top flight of English rugby league and permit the new owners to buy back the Odsal lease.
Guilfoyle confirmed

The RFL refused to make such assurances to an [iextremely[/i wealthy potential buyer of WTW, which is what prompted him to walk away from the deal.
Back then, a SL licence was NOT for sale - I wonder if that remains the case? |

Why would an investor be interested in putting money into a club if said club is going to be dropped out of the league?
If that was to happen, why not wait until the club is liquidated, pick up the pieces for next to nothing and start again.

So the new interested party isnt a ' predator ' in the same way the interested party was earlier in the year?
