They had some money advanced, iirc, to prop them up to get through the one or two of the administeators ultimatums, and avoid them not completing their fixtures. Remember also, that they didn't emerge from administration. To some extent it may have been to sweeten the pill of a newco getting a 'probationary' licence.

AFAIK the RFL still own the lease to Odsal.
Also, the deduction of Sky money was said to be a repayment of the monies lent to Bradford post-Admin to pay players wages and ensure they could complete the season.
