Who by? I thought he had to put the bid to the creditors?

Sadler also said last week that he expected everything to be signed on Tuesday. It's now Thursday.

Quite a few media people are saying the bid has been rejected. Gulp!



Whether some have put 2 and 2 together because Chalmers is out of the running i dont know.

Looking at Twitter, it seems to me that Sadler tweeted that, then other League Express and T&A journos essentially just repeated his statement. Could easily all just be from the fact Sadler has been told Chalmers' bid has been rejected.



As usual, take all with pinch of salt until something is announced properly.

so is the process now, bidder to make a formal bid for the club, administrator to accept the bid - if all creditors and administrator paid in full then club sold. if creditors not paid in full do they hold a meeting to get the required 75%...???? Bidder also to offer the required amount the RFL want for the lease. still a lot of loose ends to tie up

Bad times. Players are now asking reporters questions.



I fear for the players and staff. How can the press reports everything good and then now say it's off.

wonder if this is what franks comment about a long way back meant?. RFL allow administrator to liquidate us to get rid of Greens influence on process, then phoenix club with rfl's preferred bidder, possibly having to sit out next yr, start in league 1 or championship with 12 pt deduction.

Because they've got as much clue as the rest of us but are being constantly asked questions by people so feel they have to comment.



It's like Gledhill but dialled down a bit.

Think we're going to find out shortly anyway. Could be curtains...

My money's on an extended deadline.

Beef?



There's certainly been a few of them at our club over the last few years.

I'm expecting the worst.

I'm expecting a fluffed up statement with plenty of words but very little information and still no nearer to finding out what our future holds.



With wages due imminently it surely isn't looking good now.

And where the hell is this statement going to be published?

That's what I'm thinking, surprised it has taken this long but I still don't feel the RFL will allow you to die.

Ok, it seems we are on the home straight now; but despite thousands of posts on here, we are still no nearer knowing the outcome.



It sounds like a 2 horse race;



The favourite is Mr Sawrij buys the club and the lease; takes the 12 points deduction cos he's not a Bulls fan; we play 2017 season at Odsal while he builds new sports stadium and retail park on Richard Dunns site; due to 12 point deduction we finish mid-table; Mr Sawrij is still not a Bulls fan so doesnt inject significant money into buying players. 2018 season we play at new Richard Dunn site which is renamed Leo Sawrij stadium in memory of his Dad. Odsal is completely redeveloped as a waste recycling plant, and the Leo Group continues to grow. 2018 season we finish in top four; Sawrij still not a Bulls fan so focuses on his new recycling toy; Bulls management struggle with balancing books (as usual) and we go into administration number 4! - Its a bit like being stuck in a vicious (re) cycle.



The alternative horse is liquidation - so its just a quicker version of the above.



I really really hope some of the above is wrong - but if not - you heard it here first

Think if I was a player I'd wander into the office and ask face to face instead of asking on twitter......apart from our wizard no.7 whose on the beach in aus...he needs to send a proxy.

How can the RFL accept a bid but not the administrator??

I'm taking anything reported by a journo with a big pinch of salt. A thing I've learnt in this whole process is that journalists don't know any more than us.

If we had 4 bids .....3 needs to be rejected ?

Administrator is still trying his hardest (don't know why as green wouldn't be accepted as a fit and proper person) to act in the interest of Marc green.



people complained about prior administrations, but at least information was trickled out and reasonable intervals. This has been a shambles with someone clearly still trying to play games in the background, regardless of what we are told ie "there is only one bid on the table"

The saga continues...

How do you know this? Please don't say a journo told you (or Mick!).

It'll be another of Mick's pseudonyms (ala Peter Hood) because nobody on here listens to a word he says as himself any more.
