Has this supposed new bidder even met with the RFL?

So is anyone intrigued enough to be in the car park at 3 30 this afternoon?

On the players leaving, even if something out of my imagination happens today, they would all have been eligible to go under the Kopout rule (otherwise known as TUPE), but how many would have wanted to go assuming T&C's stay the same?

Finally the players are joining their new clubs with a cap exemption, if this happens, there could possibly be no need for an exemption, so what the hell happens there. Roll on 4

An e-mail i have seen from Petit to season ticked holders states that whist he has proposed the club is liquidated, he hasn't yet appointed a liquidator.

From the original post, and the cloak and dagger approach, i'm thinking this meeting is more of a come meet the person that the RFL have already given the green light to form a new Club.

As a result, the (potential) new owner(s) are trying the hardest to make sure they can keep some sort of a team for the following season.

I highly doubt a buyer will make a late approach for the club from the administrator, as the RFL has already set the scene that the punishment for writing everything off will be exactly the same.

Fingers and toes crossed!

What email pal. I have bought mine but not had an email?

Not sure about the cap exemption. Definitely a quota exemption was announced but nothing about a cap exemption.

Yeah it was a quota exemption only.

Does anyone else think it smacks of desperation from Petitt? Threatening liquidation as MG wouldnt have got enough back, says going into liquidation to force a buyers hand, buyers say do it then! Petitt then delays appointing liquidator to try entice bidders back so MG and the administrator come away with something rather than nothing?

They maybe need to look up the meaning of the word "Exclusive"

Why would someone take them out of admin costing near 2 million when they can pick up for free, 12 point deduction will stand either way won't it?

And wait until all the best players have gone as well? It would not be the shrewdest bit of business ever.
