Sad news for Bradford fans and RL in general. Fingers crossed, someone can save them.
It doesn't look good.
news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... efault.stm
Brendan Guilfoyle and Chris White, from The P&A Partnership, have been appointed joint administrators after the club failed to find the investment needed.
Commenting on the appointment, Guilfoyle said: “We now have just ten working days to save the club from liquidation because there are no funds to carry on longer. “If there is anyone interested in buying the Bulls then we need to hear from them right now because this famous club is now on the brink of extinction.”
Guilfoyle, who was at the club’s Odsal Stadium this morning to give the news of the administration to employees, added: “The directors made every effort to try to save the club within the 14-day timescale issued by the courts but the moratorium ended yesterday without any potential buyer coming forward.”
White and Guilfoyle are partners at The P&A Partnership, a leading specialist business turnaround and insolvency firm with offices across the UK and in London. Guilfoyle specialises in sports’ administrations and has been involved in the administrations of Leeds United plc, Luton Town, Crystal Palace and Plymouth Argyle. |

Exactly, 10K paying a £5 a pop is about the same as £2700 odd paying £18. It's a combination of bad management, not replacing players like for like that caused Bradford to go from champions to bust in 6 years.
Say what you like about London but no one can accuse them or trying to buy a team to compete for top honours.
Bradfords biggest problem and the one that sets them apart from all other SL club failures is that it's the taxman that's after them, and unlike Rangers he's obviously not prepared to accept a few pence in the pound as an answer.
If you were looking at buying a SL Club, would you look to buy Bradford, pay off their tax debt and then fund what's there, or would you let them go bump, buy it in name only and start again with a big pot to spend on the clubs future ?

I wouldn't be suprised if the Bradford Board Of Directors weren't invested for fraud. How they can ask for £500,000 in donations from their fans and the fans of RL to save their club, then announce they have further debts of around the same amount is astonishing. If I'd have donated, and I didn't as I couldn't care less if they fold or not, I'd feel like i'd been led up the garden path.

Will the players not be free agents in 10 days. If so can see them holding out for larger wages if no transfer fee has to be paid.

May be that's why the ground was bought by the RFL so it can be protected .
