So that was the 1st rejected bid .

Maybe it's just me, but I recall the "preferred bid" by the RFL-approved bidder was rejected, but the administrator was now having talks with a consortium that had been following the proceedings, presumably hiding in a busgh.

I don't know of any other live bid if this so-called last-minute consortium has been fscked off too.

Quote from League Express preview:

"•Where next for Bradford? With a decision on the club’s future imminent, we speak exclusively to a man looking to take the club on in 2017 – if they are liquidated. Stand by for some scathing comments on the situation at the Bulls.
•There’s also reaction from Andrew Chalmers after his consortium’s bid was rejected last week, as he speaks exclusively to us."

That's looking like an interesting read.

So will some benevolent soul who has an online copy please summarise on here at 9.05pm tonight?

Regarding senior players being informed of developments by the administrator. The RFL and administrators would only communicate information to the senior manager at the club, in present circumstances that's Stuart Duffy, and the Head Coach. The administrators only contacted the senior players after they had been very vocal on Twitter about being kept in the dark. I'll leave it up to the intelligent members of this forum to decide if they think Mr Duffy and Mr Smith were aware of proceedings or not.
