Like when you forgot your kit in PE, the teacher made you do PE in vest and underpants, that's what the RFL are expecting the Bulls to do next season.

As long as no recent directors were involved I think they can purchase the name from the liquidator if it is his to sell.

So far as I can see the various Bradford Bulls trademarks were all registered to Bradford Bulls Holdings Ltd which was dissolved in May 2015 so who if anyone holds the rights isn't immediately clear to me.

I would have much preferred the scenario that a "secret" deal had already been agreed before liquidation occurred and that due diligence etc had already been completed and it was simply a matter of going through the formalities.

There's a slim hope that it will be a case of going through the motions, but that there's a need to give the impression of transparency etc. Presumably the due dil is in fact already done in the most part?

Just heard on Radio Leeds, that the RFL are saying there are 10 [that is TEN] bidders or groups interested in buying the club.

Hardly surprising given that - at least according to Petit - there were twelve serious expressions of interest only a few weeks ago. I would assume most - if not all - are the same bunch.

Hopefully most will disappear into the mist just like last time, because as has been said, the last thing we need now is a long protracted process

Normally I would say that's positive news. But the more bids that are lodged now, the longer the process of due diligence etc are going to take and the harder its going to be to get anything off the ground in time for the start of the season.

In this process there is no need to give the same level of due consideration as administration where you have to get the best deal for creditors, also no chance of a legal challenge as the RL can choose who they want without any disclosure to why they made their choice. I agree this might delay things, but I'd be amazed if one of the 2 offers put forward by the administrator was not the successful one.

I just want to say Bullmania was ace and it was worth it. Who wants to be average anyway. All or nothing is what I say so roll the dice and let the next chancer through the gates.

Haha, you could come and head the entertainment Anita? It'll be a bit different, I think!

It's a shame I squandered my millions on amassing my tremendous stamp collection otherwise I would be tossing my hat in the ring.

Re: the Bulls name. As if things were not hard enough. How on earth would any new owner possibly get a new name/kit/etc ready in a month. They would have to be able to use the name surely. And last seasons kit.

New kits had already been delivered to the club. I asked in the shop

We philate with the Bulls.
