Super League Offers To Buy Bulls
Super League’s parent company has made an offer to purchase Bradford Bulls on behalf of the competition’s 13 other clubs, after the Rugby Football League rejected two conditional bids for the club from the ABC consortium.
The Bulls have been in administration since 26th June, but Super League (Europe) Ltd have now made an offer to try to save them.
Administrator Brendan Guilfoyle had previously warned that if a buyer could not be found the club faced “extinction”.
Since the club went into administration in June no bid has been put forward that meets the RFL’s criteria.
The game’s governing body reiterated that it would not be willing to accept a conditional offer for the club, after turning down the ABC consortium’s second bid on Wednesday.
According to media reports, both offers were dependent on assurances from the RFL on the Bulls’ Super League future and being allowed to purchase the ground back from the body.
Super League CEO Nigel Wood said that the uncertainty surrounding the Bulls’ position had gone on for too long and that swift and decisive action was now required.
