Buyers circle for Bradford Bulls

FOUR-TIME Super League champions Bradford Bulls have potential owners swarming according to reports.

Six different potential buyers are said to be waiting in the wings to buy the club according to administrators.

Gary Pettit of PBC Business Recovery, who was appointed earlier this week said there had been some “serious interest” in the club.

The club has entered administration for the fourth time since 2012, and the Rugby Football League terminated their membership on Wednesday which could now face a points deduction or relegation.

Joint administrator Gary Pettit told the BBC: “We are excited by the interest shown. We consider that several of the parties appear to have sufficient resources and experience to take Bradford Bulls forward.

“A lot of hard work is going on behind the scenes to safeguard the Bulls’ heritage and legacy.”

They are scheduled to start the 2017 season at Hull KR on Sunday, 5 February.
