the bulls have been granted a stay of execution till the 27 th of july .they have been given all the time to sort the mess out,if the fail they go into liquidation,and are no more,but u can bet the RFL will step in at some point to save them from going under,but i hope not in super league ,the shouldnt be treat any differently from clubs in similar postions points deduction,firstly for going into administration,if the do close business and come back as a new company then surely they have to be dropped to a lower division and like anybody else start in a lower division and work themselves back,just my opinion ,what do people think ?.

They'll be allowed to continue in SL come what may. Anyone who believes otherwise is living in dreamworld.

It seems that the only persons interested in making an offer, a group of Asian business men - allegedly some with restaurants in the city, are only prepared to continue their interest if the Bulls are guaranteed a SL place till the end of the current franchise period. So, in all honesty, can you see the RFL allowing them to go out of business if by agreeing to this they will continue?

One word "CORRUPT"

[pooliehawk]

Agree Blackbeard, they should be kicked out total corrupt, what sort of message does this send to the rest of the rugby league....

Teams like our selfs must be thinking why bother, the RL should get some balls and do what the Scottish FA have done with Rangers....

If they now get to stay in SL the whole franchise becomes a joke and rugby league a laughing stock

sounds like a bit of blackmail to me

[BatleyFanAndy]

I've said this on a few of the other forums, but the actual Super League clubs instaed of the RFL will have more of a say on whether they stay or not as they will be the biggest part of the vote. No Super League side in their right mind would vote to kick Bradford out as who the hell is going to replace them with the same size of support? They all need the Bradford match every season to bring in some coin. Not one of the Championship sides have a following like they so how would they replace them?

[RobinHoodHawk]

Absolutely agree ... Like Turkeys voting for Christmas. It is a shame that the game has evolved into a corrupt administration. Tormentor in chief of Bradford Bulls - the former chairman who saw this coming years ago.
How do Halifax feel when both Bradford and Hudds were going into their patch selling Super League season tickets at £50??
It's appalling and time that Nigel and Ralph did the decent thing and followed Richard out of the game.

after listening to the post match comments on the red button yesterday ,and what the director of licensing had to say bradford are a long way off thinking that thier licence is safe even if this asian consortium do buy in to bradford,the spokesperson said they may well have to start in championship 1 seems like the rfl wont be blackmailed and rightly so,he did say that the RFL would pay the players wages for the rest of the season,but after that they stand alone,also some super league clubs would not be backing bradford to stay in super league after the buy out, sure would be interesting to which clubs are not backing bradford in any way shape or form.

it's a pity the rhinos couldn't be so benevolent to the hawks to keep the leeds rivalry going. it makes me sick to see all this wailing and wringing of hands over the bulls. why can't the rfl look at whats happening below superleague for gods sake.

I may be wrong, and no doubt someone will tell me if I am, but I have always understood that the Rhinos allow Hunslet to keep all the gate receipts from the pre-season Lazenby cup match

[terrywebbisgod]

As far as I know they do.

Not to the tune of £50000 like they are giving back to Bradford

i'd be very surprised if it was even half that much that bradford get.
