TBF the 2 journos mentioned said the club COULD be liquidated. That was after the players were sent home after speaking to the administrator which i believe to be correct. Mick said it WILL be Liquidated Friday.

Well it will be liquidated on Friday, if all the buyers drop out.

And if a buyer is found they won't be... So Mick isn't correct.

He put the tweet out as the Bulls are going to be liquidated on Friday, end of.

People's lives and Christmas wages are hanging in the balance. I think his behaviour has been disgusting in this admin quite honestly.

OK, I understand what you are saying. I just get the feeling that the staff have been so calm through all this that they probably know more than Mick about what is happening and so will take anything he says with a pinch of salt.

The one thing I dont understand is why the players would stop training on Wednesday if there was good news coming on Friday? came someone explain this to me?

It's great watching people who know nothing make stuff up, but not terribly helpful hence the update late this afternoon. The administrator has kept his cards very close to his chest, this will all turn out well - I promise

I'm inclined to agree with what Frank has suggested. His past insight has always tended to be true and from reading between the lines (the wording of some of his posts in particular) and matching it up with what I've heard, I think we probably have probably been told the same thing.

I was in bits yesterday from the Total RL story but now a bit more relaxed. Just one more sleep and (hopefully) all will become apparent

The players stopping training on Wednesday is a nailed on fact. The information came from a player himself and he said some of them went to the pub whilst others went home. As for why did they stop training, well if you'd just been told that there's a POSSIBILITY the club may be liquidated on Friday would your head be on your job?

Anything could happen between now and Friday afternoon, 11th Hour bid, RFL assistance (unlikely) etc so probably best to sit (nervously) and wait.

It's like watching an episode of 3-2-1. Will it be Dusty Bin or the Mini Metro?

You're more relaxed because a fellow poster (who may know nothing or something) tells you its OK, on the other hand a number of respected journalists (who could face libel charges if they are very wrong) publicly state that the players went home after being told the club could face liquidation and Bulls fans immediately label them as liars and that they don't know as much as one of your posters?

Friday afternoon will be interesting in a good or bad way, I really don't want to see a former big club go to the wall because of off field mismanagement.

A nailed on fact? Who told you? You were actually there then, and saw the players walk off?

There is another (very reliable, ie does not make things up) source on here that says its not true.
If it's true, then fine, but I am sick of this, I heard..., he said..., the milkman told me.... stuff that is going on.
No one will ever come out and say how they know stuff, or who told them. It's all hearsay.
