Titans chief in Bulls talks

ROTHERHAM Titans chief executive Richard Lamb is in the running to take control of rugby league crisis club Bradford Bulls.

Lamb, who took over at Clifton Lane during the summer, is reportedly in the race to take charge of  the cash-strapped Odsal side, who this week went into administration for the third time in five years.

The London-based businessman previously made an attempt to buy the club and has admitted his interest.

He said: “Last time I came very close to buying the Bulls and the core basis of the club is still there – a loyal fanbase, great history and fantastic potential.

"The key is to come up with a sensible, affordable business plan over the next two to three years because there is no point signing a load of players if you can't afford to pay them.

"It might take three or four years to get back into Super League but the problem the Bulls have had is they are clearly spending more money than they have coming in.

"Somehow the model at Bradford just isn't working and I've had the same conversation at Rotherham Titans, where I'm saying we can't spend more money than we are getting in.

"It's about getting the club on a stable financial footing and building from there. It has to be a realistic business plan.”
