Chris caisley will ride at the 11th hour and take over the club, with nobby back as coach.

RFL will forward them money to pay players wages for a few more weeks to keep games going.

It's all nailed on, the club isn't just going to dissapear in a puff of smoke, they'll soldier on, one way or another.

Players turned up for a 10am meeting with the administrators, only to find it had been cancelled with no notice. Hardly a promising sign

Nobody will take the current club on as a going concern, simply because it isn't one.

I don't see how a club that has just made the position of head coach redundant can carry on.

Nobby would have to Coach for FREE

Had some interesting texts this morning

Seems Noble may well be waiting in line behind Caisley, but certainly won't be working for free.
Allegedly he'll be getting paid, but let's just say he'll be paying less tax than Jimmy Carr!

Ahh the good old expenses fiddle hey.
Next we will see his wife/girlfriend appearing as a cleaner in a top of the range BMW.

But he couldn't be the head coach (regardless of whether he's being paid or not) if there is no head coach position? Unless Potter has been sacked rather than made redundant

Director of Rugby Operations and all things on Field Related apart from Cleaning Boots.

A Rose by any other name and all that. Easy to get around.

Looks like Noble has seen which the way the wind is blowing from the supporters and has backed out, remaining a Bradford legend. Hence the cancellation of the players meeting to "introduce" him.

Bradford's website is off the server, the players can't train because they're not insured to use the gym, there's nobody around even to paint the lines for the weekend's match. Stick a fork in them, they're done.

Best option in my opinion is to reform under community control in the Championship, gain income and investment steadily and sustainably ready for SL readmission in a few years time. A Bradford club allowed to continue in SL with Caisley living high on the hog having stiffed their fans, creditors, staff and players would poison the whole competition.

Bramley aren't in that league next season are they?

I just thought that a reformed Bradford again may have to start in the lowest league.
