And you know the proposed buyer wanted assurances around the next round of licenses, source please. I expect mr. Guilfoyle wil go back to Football, at least there is a single penalty to apply if he sells the club - in this it is unattractive unless you are a fan purchaser as there might be a license you might be able to apply for, but no set rules, all at the discretion of the RFL

Do your research like everyone else it was well publicised at the time

When Glover took over he had to produce evidence that the funds were there to support a top flight club and a suitable business plan was in place for the 2011 season. If he hadn't done that then the club would have had its superleague licence revoked there and then. Once he did we got the ok to complete the licence. Going by the RFL's statement ABC haven't done this yet so no assurances can be given. If they do maybe that position will change.

The 2 main incomes are SKY money and season ticket money. I think the old board, the administrator and the RFL have now used all our SKY money for this season. At least Glover had 8 or so 6figure monthly payments to look forward to.

ST money will come in (at the earliest) Sept - forgive my ignorance but do we need to know what league we will be in to decide on ticket pricing structures?

I thought you were talking Bulls not Wakey, unless I've missed something and there is evidence ABC wanted an assurance about the 2014 license process.

I mentioned a lack of journalistic rigour early today, get home, read the YP and see a couple of things I didn't know. Quoted that Coulby closely associated with ABC and that majority of clubs would not support ABC's current bid. So, building on RFL request to know more about the investors behind ABC, is that because they suspect Caisley's involvement and don't want him back! If I've missed this mentioned earlier or elsewhere, apologies

Whilst I realise we are in a state the RFL seem to stumble from one major gaff to another. I just hope (and i know I am talking pure fantasy island) that we see the season out, qualify for the play-offs and reach the GRand Final.

But we are talking about business plans for the rest of the licence period. The budgets can be done for the rest of that period though can't they as you've not used any of that money yet. You will complete this season by hook or by crook, the RFL will see to that. The sooner the consortium show their plans and prove themselves then the sooner the RFL can say what division you will play in and the season tickets can go on sale. If ABC come up with the goods then that is likely to be superleague. If their intentions are honourable I don't see why they are delaying doing this?

No sorry I was referring to a bidder for Wakefield who wanted assurances on SL this was refused and subsequently AG bought the club with a plan a for SL and a plan b for championship sorry if I confused you.

No problem, easily confused!
His plan B was championship for 2012 though correct?

Re: Latest state of play posts only : Wed Aug 01, 2012 9:22 pm  

Seeing how the RFL have rejected the 'revised' ABC offer, and there are no other bids on the table, then surely the only course of action left is for the OR to formally place the club into liquidation?

Re: Latest state of play posts only : Wed Aug 01, 2012 9:27 pm  

rumours were already rife that abc were to put a third bid in this year on monday?

Second party was to announce a formal bid has been placed........
And Paul a hull KR fan suggesting liquidation in a speedy process after one of your own fans mentions your 3.5 years in admin is slightly rich?
