The man charged with trying to find a buyer to rescue the stricken Bradford Bulls last night revealed he has still not had a single offer for the ailing club.

Adminstrator Brendan Guilfoyle said he has been “dancing with a few people but nobody’s kissing” in response to rumours some offers have been made.

He confirmed there are several interested parties, but he maintained there is no rescue deal on the table and once again urged anyone who might be able to save the club to come forward.

“Reports we have had any offers are wide of the mark,” he said.

“‘We’ve sent out information to people. I’m dancing with a few people but nobody’s kissing. I haven’t had a single offer. The Rugby Football League and Bradford Council have been supportive, but everybody is still holding their breath to see what’s going to come forward.

“If there’s anybody out there who feels they owe Bradford anything, they should come forward and rescue this club.”

Mr Guilfoyle said the cost of a rescue deal would be in the region of “hundreds of thousands rather than millions”.

However, he also admitted the club does not have the same global appeal as some of the football clubs in difficulties he has been working with in the past few years. “For an iconic sporting brand, it’s relatively cheap,” he said.

Meanwhile, he praised the efforts of interim chief executive Gary Tasker who is leading the charge to make sure Sunday’s Super League clash with London Broncos goes ahead and to attract as many people as possible to Odsal.

Mr Tasker said staff who were made redundant on Monday had returned to their roles on a voluntary basis because they were “so passionate” about saving the beleaguered club.

He said the Broncos game was a “big opportunity to showcase the club to potential investors”.

Mr Tasker, who worked at the Bulls between 1982 and 2000, said: “Initially there was some dejection earlier in the week, but as people have come round a little bit and vented their anger and frustration, they’ve realised the club is bigger than any individual. It is built on those individuals working collectively.

“It's a dreadful scenario with people losing their livelihoods and I never thought it would come to this.”

The club will charge all under 16s £1 to watch the game and have arranged entertainment to attract a big crowd.

Mr Tasker said the club’s community foundation had helped 25,000 to 30,000 children. He said: “For anyone who has experienced the community foundation directly, it is their chance to give something back. This is the time when we need a really big crowd.

Chief executive of holiday price comparison website Icelolly.com Adrian Walton, who earlier this week revealed he was interested in buying the club, confirmed he had been in touch with the administrators but was unable to comment about the nature of any discussions.

Fans said last night they remain hopeful a buyer can be found. Supporter Ian Whitehead said: “I’m extremely passionate about the Bulls and truly believe there’s something in place and an investor can be found.

“I think Mick Potter’s return is absolutely fantastic.”
