Four buyers vying to save stricken Bradford Bulls from collapse have been set a deadline of next Tuesday to submit formal business plans.
The Rugby Football League confirmed today it remained “positive” about the future of the Super League club after a meeting with joint administrator Brendan Guilfoyle last night.
The four offers on the table are believed to be from sporting rivals Bradford City Football Club and Bradford Park Avenue, as well as Bradford restaurant owner Omar Khan and Super League (Europe) Ltd.
RFL chief operating officer Ralph Rimmer said: “We had constructive meetings with all the consortia that have submitted proposals to the administrator and we’re optimistic about the future of Bradford Bulls.
“There are now four confirmed bids for the Bulls and each consortium has been asked to submit business plans to us by Tuesday August 21. Due to the sensitive nature of the current discussions we are unable to confirm who the bids are from at present.”
