  • "The recipe for disaster lies with the decision to sell the lease to the RFL(to basically pay back the £750k owed) and the RFLs stance in buying it back. So they could claw back the debt.
    Then the banks decision to claw back the overdraft.
    These decisions have cost us the supporters our club-our players-the coach and every infrastructure gained by the "Bulls Foundation" over many years.
    Then the RFLs stance in not negotiating with those who just may have given us a chance for a future in Super League, plus a development of the stadium in a modular form. ie Restaurants-Hotel-pr

    So why we blame anyone for trying to get us back on track, as a club we own, and not one being bailed out by an organisation that helped to get us where we are. (By probably clawing back their debt with a purchase they didn't want anyway.) I say if the ABC or anyone else for that matter gives us a survival package, with conditions attached. Let's go for it full tilt, and back whoever does it. As supporters who have suffered this ridiculous scenario for many months, we deserve to be talking to the "Organ Grinder" and not the "Monkeys!""

Decision due on bid for Bulls

The administrator of the Bradford Bulls is expected to announce whether he will accept an offer for the club from Super League Europe by the end of the week.

The Rugby Football League last night said it had yet to hear if administrator Brendan Guilfoyle had approved the proposed takeover but hoped to receive a response tomorrow.

Mr Guilfoyle, who has been running the club since it went into administration on June 26, received an offer from Super League Europe, the umbrella organisation for the 14 top-flight clubs, last Wednesday night.

If accepted, it would stave off the threat of liquidation and ensure Bulls can complete the season – although its future in the top-flight after this season is not secure.

The body stepped in with the “short term” measure amid growing fears that the club was facing collapse after the Rugby Football League twice rejected offers from a consortium led by a group of Bradford businessmen.

Mr Guilfoyle was not available for comment yesterday.
