Liquidation deadline extended to 27th July.

This is a complete and utter shambles. Still, plenty of publicity for Rugby League. The only time you hear about the game on Radio 5 Live is when we do something bad. Thanks to Bradford, we're on every day.

A bit of anti climax really. I was expecting either a knight in shining armour to be the saviour or the Bulls to be no more. Also is the deadline of today seems to be a bit of a farce? Now that they have extended it to the 27th July

Whats shambolic about an extension of a liquidation deadline?

The money coming from the RFL by the way is an advance on the Sky money - not just a handout.

I'm on about the whole sorry saga of a flagship SL club dragging the game into shambolic media attention.

I hope that the RFL money for wages is a loan.
i guess that 13 other clubs would also be happy if the RFL paid wages for a month.

The comments suggest that the administrator is blackmailing the RFL. I will extend the admin process if you pay the wages.

I would say more like the responsible temporary current or recent persons operating the flagship SL club. The club itself is one of the most renowned rugby league clubs on the planet, with a great history, and great fans. It is to the eternal shame of whoever is responsible on the 2012 watch that they have let the flagship hit the rocks, but those people are not one and the same as the flagship itself, which is a million times bigger than them.
