agree, but a big long list of ifs that added together. Price elasticity definitely a key point that records should provide an answer to. 3 will cost money to achieve, so where most ingenuity is needed. 4) definitely a sup with the devil point: likewise how many turn up for a televised challenge cup game.



so, we have discussed the obvious, what about the not so obvious GB, any thoughts?

there seems to be a strong concensus that this administration will be a good thing,, however,, the SL licence was awarded, either on 'dodgy' info provided by the bulls or incompetent investigation by the auditors (kpmg?) , either way this is deeply embarressing for the governing body, and the one thing you don't do is get the 'suits' backs up.

Secondly, the lease was bought from the bulls by the RFL, not from the council, Bradford council claimed to know nothing about it until it was signed, surely this means that the RFL are preferred creditors?, as i understand this there was a robust debate amongst the other member clubs as to the sense of buying something of value only whilst the club was in existence, will the members of the RFL, ie the member clubs allow them to write off 1.25 million quid? As is always the case in these situations, it is the smaller players who suffer, the fans and small business who ignored the warnings are facing the loss of money they are owed and possibly the loss of the club. I'm not gloating or trying score points but seriously, this could seriously blow up in the face of the board who have quite obviously engineered this situation.

This won't be an issue by Tuesday. I'll have won the Euromillions by then and will have single handedly bought the club and Odsal.

It would if there was any demand, which at the moment there isn't unfortunately.

Quote Blotto="Blotto"Back to Square one again www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/n ... withdrawn/'" Not sure who that was, but I've got a feeling it was Caisley. It was rumoured that he informed Hood that should the club go into Administration he would like the Administrator to be informed that he may be interested in buying the club (while Hood was still chairman). Not sure how this changed though when Hood departed, whether Caisley's intention / interest was passed on to Coulby and he in turn passed this to Guilfoyle. If it was, then I think that put pays to CC taking over short term, unless he wants it for a real rock bottom price and a complete blank slate and is willing to wait due to the complete lack of interest elsewhere.

We will probably get one or two more "24 hour saviours" before the end of next week

According to Guilfoyle the correct term is "Tyre kickers"

CC is on the inside track to be fair and must have a very fair idea of what is going on, after all he would have seen the results of Mr guilfoyle's dig into the finances and running of the club. Dunno if it's the done thing to pass on info now that the club is in admin but I suspect he has enough to make any bid, if and when, he feels it's the ideal time.

This comment really confuses me

"Administrators battling to save Bradford Bulls from liquidation have been left disappointed after the only expression of interest in taking on the crisis-torn club has now been withdrawn".

Is it lazy journalism or do people really not understand the principal role of the administrator is to obtain moneys on behalf of the creditors, if that is aided (second on the list) by a buyer coming in fair enough, but it smacks of emotional clap trap to me.

It smacks to me of an Administrator knowing that the best deal for creditors would be if he could find someone to buy the club as a going concern.
