Most neutrals would agree it is in RL's interest for Bulls to continue in SL, to the end of this season & beyond. I am sure the RFL think the same. On that logic what would you have happen?
1. Accept an offer that is clearly unsatisfactory or,
2. Try & secure a sustainable deal or,

Whose Neutral????
I can see both sides, from a PR point of view it's best not to have a club go bust.
From a Finance point of view, you can see why some clubs would want BB out of SL for the extra slice of the pie that they would get.
From my own point of view, if someone comes in unconditionally to buy the bulls then I see no reason why they don't keep a licence as they where awarded it and the club remains the same.
If SLE buys the club then I would want the bulls to go down, clubs are already making losses on their own to support another loss making enterprise ontop of their own and pay for it would seam madness. If SLE buys the Bulls then the only way to pay the clubs back for securing RL in bradford would be to slice up the Sky pie and let bradford build from the championship with lower running costs and run not for profit, until someone else buys the bulls.
If they liquidate, it's a new club, new company and should have to start the same as all new companies and not just have the points, licence, etc transfered lock stock and barrell, because that's not a new company.
It's only my prefered way of seeing it done, hopefully a new buyer is best for all concered anything else just gets very very messy.
