Derek Richardson, someone with some finance available, experience of running a successful rugby club and the foresight to arrange a meeting with the players he'll need to get on-board sharpish...all too much like good sence, so clearly won't happen!;)

May not technically be liquidated but the company have ceased trading. The RFLs release gives the impression that the Bulls are no more and the applications are to form a new professional club.

KCN... Going back a few pages you said he aimed to address the debt was is stated whether he wants to take the club out of admin or if liquidation stands and this is a newco?

Re: Players meeting with new owner today : Thu Jan 05, 2017 7:16 pm  

Been told it was Richardson who met players today. Same person told me weeks ago he was gonna be new owner and that he couldn't believe the potential of Odsal.

Good for Bradford if they get an owner quickly.

Hopefully they can build a squad that can compete now with the players that are left at the club.

I suppose the question has to be asked: Where was Richardson two weeks ago?

I can't cope with this. It's up and down and up and down. I am getting ready to be kicked two footed in the mouth again soon.

Can't imagine why Richardson alone would be allowed to meet staff and players unless RFL already had him in mind as preferred choice.

Suppose in issuing the list of conditions bidders have to meet they are at least being seen to be allowing everyone a fair shot. He has probably already shown he can meet all the conditions, especially given he owns Wasps who currently sit top of their league.

At the end of the day if they want him to be awarded the club/membership it is entirely their decision .

I'll be delighted if this comes off. Hope he has persuaded some of our players and staff to hang on a few more days.

Ok I give up. I don't know what's happening any more.
