So basically - we have a points deduction already for going into admin, so the season is gone whatever?
In ten days, if no money is found - then what? The gates are closed and that's it?

Yes. About 100 people (or so) lose their jobs and the gates are shut.

Pretty much yes. Whatever happens over the coming weeks and the future beyond that the important thing is that us Bulls fans stick together.

I've had too many good times and met too many nice people through supporting this club to go out with anything other than a smile on my face.

If the worst does happen, I hope the players manage to find new clubs though. Feel for them aswell, fans and players are the innocent ones here and we get dealt the worst hand.

This is bad poop. I hope Caisley and Hood sleep well tonight.

There will be news in the next few days that has proved some of us right again, there will be no administration thanks to a benefactor (not investor, that's important), there will be breathing space for the club to move forward and shape itself anew with homegrown talent at the fore.

So as I've said before time to get behind everyone at the club and move forward, I'm running with the Bulls cos we're really gonna be alright!

And...?

Well, this could be the first ever sports club admin that ends up with no successor club, in whatever format and at whatever level, but I somehow doubt it.

Whatever it turns out to be, I doubt I'll like it.

If there was a mysterious investor lurking in the shadows at what point would he show his hand? Does he leave it to the 11th hour as a negotiating tactic to get the lowest price or would he declare his interest earlier to avoid a potential fire sale? I hope you get some kind of lifeline, but the ststements being released don't fill me with any confidence. Good luck.

Awful news for you.

The very best of luck in salvaging the best from a terrible situation.

As a HKR fan, I know a little how you feel.

the RFL don't take too kindly to the HMRC not being paid, hopefully if an investor comes along they will settle with HMRC and avoid the club being placed in special measures by the RFL.

Dont know how these things work, but if we were still in Admin by the next home game, what would happen with getting the game on?
