here's my issue : if the administrator had accepted the bid that the rifl recommended why would the creditors be worse off than liquidation? If that had occurred the newco could have retained player registrations and sold or had value from them..

You're not wrong.

Does the Administrator produce a report on what went on?

When the Rfl bought Odsal they said they would charge the Bulls a commercial rent. The Newco should suggest the RFL post the 12 month rent on EBay and we can all see a transparent bid process.

It might sound silly but does Liquidation mean that they will be selling the trophies?

Huddersfield will buy them, only chance they have of getting any silverware.

Wouldn't be surprised if Green had already sold em.

I can't help but feel the RFL will favour someone who wants to develop a stadium at Odsal, they would be mad not to.

Isnt that easier said than done? The RFL only own the lease, not the freehold which is owned by the Council. I dont know what restrictions that there are in the lease regarding development of the ground, but surely it would need the agreement of the Council? And we've seen from the recent past that obtaining planning permission for re-development of the stadium isn't straightforward. Otherwise we would have had a shiny new stadium circa 2003.

So, the RFL might want to favour the someone who will re-develop the stadium in the sense of building new stands, covering the terraces etc. But I cant see how that would be viable for a new owner, without them also having the right to develop the surrounding area, build a hotel, superstore etc. And a potential buyer would not know now whether that would be approved.

The Championship Shield was in Cash Converters 20min after the Bulls won it.

They’d also demand a bit more room if they were in bed with Mick.
