Nope they'll have been TUPED across. It’s basically a pre-pack.

Michael, what are your thoughts on this.

Looking objectively, have the Bulls gone into administration? Or was the main asset of one company transferred to the Bulls and the old company gone bust?

I don't see it as a club going bust but a legal mechanism to resolve an ownership dispute that the RFL was trying to resolve. Different to going bust and fishing for a buyer.

I don't see the conspiracy, as galling as it is.

What I don't know is how it differs from our situation.

[i'OK Bulls Ltd was this morning placed into administration....'[/i

Going by that quote then yes they did. And conveniently just as they had a winding up petition issued by HMRC.

I already avoid those events due to previous issues with the RFL's governence, failure to operate a fair and even set of rules on this one will be me done and i'm afraid if that impacts on Wakey then so be it. They will be taking part in a game i wouldn't want to be a part of anymore. And anyway they showed their hand by jumping into bed with the RFL over the restructuring which still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. But this Bradford issue is the ultimate test of what values the game has.

If i have understood correctly. OK Bulls are in administration with a winding up petition/order from HMRC. Whilst in admin the ownership has been bought/transfered to the new company, OK Bulls will be liquidated.
I'm not si fussed about the points deduction, more the varying scenarios given to Trinity and Bradford should admin be involved.

This is the ideal time for Wood and his cohorts to grow a pair and show everyone that there is no favouritism for any one club. Wait a minute the Bulls are an iconic brand so forget it!!

It would be cutting you nose of and all that, but everyone has a tipping point.
Btw, when did you go to your first Trin match ?

According to ITV news they HAVE avoided a points deduction
"ITV News ‎- 38 minutes ago
Bradford Bulls have avoided the threat of a second points deduction in two years after the ongoing saga over the troubled Super League club..."

The RFL in trying to assist the Bulls in the first administration by owning Odsal are now involved in a conflict of interest. Do they still own the stadium?

Bradford are no different to any other club and will be deducted 4 points if they repay the creditors a large % or 6 if they don't. They can dress it up however they like but administration is administration and it's probably likely to occur again quite quickly as they're reluctant to reduce their wage bill.

It would be a farce to clubs who took early action in addressing financial problems or who have reluctantly fielded weaker sides to stay financially stable only for one who have knowingly overspent and taken no action to go unpunished

Interesting that apparently the following was earlier posted on the Bulls website but has since been removed and replaced with a 'we will work with the RFL' statement.

[i31st January 2014 BRADFORD BULLS officials have this afternoon announced that the club will not suffer a points deduction, as a result of its former operating company entering administration. OK Bulls Ltd was placed into administration this morning but the club has since been purchased by Bradford Bulls 2014 Ltd. And, on behalf of the new board of directors, chairman Mark Moore has confirmed that the Bulls are to remain a First Utility Super League side and will start the new season on zero points. [/i

Our the RFL have a vested interested in the Bulls!!!!!
