Bradford Bulls Lose Coaching Staff In Cuts
Bradford Bulls have made their entire coaching staff, including coach Mick Potter, redundant as the club tries to find a way out of administration.
Along with the coaching staff, chief executive Ryan Duckett and football manager Stuart Duffy have also lost their jobs – totaling 16 redundancies in all – according to joint-administrator Brendan Guilfoyle.
Guilfoyle is now looking for someone who would be willing to take on the job of coaching the Super League side on an unpaid basis.
The Bulls revealed in March that the side would need to raise £1m in order to stay afloat.
The Rugby Football League responded in a statement, explaining that they were unhappy with the latest developments at Odsal.
‘We are concerned by the news that the official administrator of Bradford Bulls has made all the club’s non-playing staff redundant.’
‘The governing body received no official notification of this action and is meeting the administrator Brendan Guilfoyle this afternoon to seek an explanation and clarification.’
‘The RFL is continuing to establish the facts behind this development and will not be making any further comment until we have spoken to all the parties involved.’
On the pitch, Bradford recorded an impressive 30-22 victory at league leaders Wigan Warriors on Friday.
