Over exagerated examples to emphasise the point.

If this koukash bid is allowed, the integrity of the competition dies with it.

Ok, you (amongst others) obviously struggle with analogy.
My points are:
1) If Mr & Mrs Koukash own 2 clubs, they can offoad under-performing players from Salford to Bradford to free up salary cap space at the club they want to be more successful.
2) Young players can be brought to Bradford for development before been 'promoted' to Salford if they are good enough, simply turning Bradford into a feeder club.
3) If Salford need 2 points to finish in the play-offs, who do you think will win?
4) It's cheating.

You really think it's possible to own and run a sports club and not give a damn what happens to it and tell coaches and players to throw games and not only expect them to do it but also tell nobody about it and be able to pull the wool over the eyes of fans /press/sponsors/governing body/POLICE!

You must have a brain the size of a pea.

A lot of sad, bitter and jealous people on here.

You're not even owned by a Koukash yet & you're already beginning to sound like a Salford fan.

Thank you for your input.

However I have no idea of the details of their bid, nor of their info as supplied to RFL. The RFL seem very picky if recent experience is anything to go by, and as for the administrator, I wouldn't worry your head as he will simply pick the best offer for creditors.

Whoever has the bid accepted has therefore jumped the hoops required and I did not read anywhere that the RFL felt that accepting any bid would kill the integrity of their competition so I presume that is not their view of whatever they have been presented with.

As for your patronising comment that you "understand we want to save our club" you are aiming your stream in the wrong direction - it wouldn't make a gnat's fart difference what we Bulls fans want, we have got used to the idea that something will be imposed and we have no say. So it isn't "a nonsense". It just is whatever it is.

I note with interest that you are confident Mrs Koukash is lying, that presumably thus false information re funding will of necessity be provided to deceive the gullible RFL, and that anyone who thinks otherwise is "potty". It is a brave position to adopt. As you are a Salford fan maybe you could run the point past Dr. Koukash just to be 100% sure you are right and that he is in fact trying to own a second club by improper means.

I wasn't being patronising at all and do hope Bradford survive. I have no idea of the bid submitted or what criteria the RFL will use to assess whether the move should be blocked. I'm simply saying what is blatantly obvious from what we've seen so far.

Did you see the interview with the pair of them on Sky Sports News?

Re: The mad doctor : Fri Mar 14, 2014 9:10 am  

Ross, the t&a reporter has tweeted this morning that Mrs Koucash has already passed the RFL's fit and proper persons test.

True. But GH us the person who makes decisions at Leeds. Genuine question, how many decisions to Caddick make at the Leeds club? Seems to be GH who makes them all. Caddick wasn't even involved in the restructuring talks as far as I'm aware.

I don't get some fans, bradford could be saved, put in financial safety at last, debts cleared, Bad news out of the headlines yet still some fans aren't happy.

The same fans moaning about this ate the sane fans who moan how far in front the NRL ate to us. But won't the Melbourne Storm OWNED by the NRL for years (could be wrong but I'm sure this was the case)

It was, but if you didn't mean it to be, fair enough.

Yes, and I have also read the drivel which has come out all over these forums too, from people who similarly have no idea yet at the same time "know", "cos it's obvious innit". Maybe you should run off a copy and send it to the RFL, because it seems certain that they must somehow have completely missed this evidence.

What I have so far not seen explained is WHAT is so blatantly obvious. That Mrs. K. can't afford a rugby club? If so then she would just be the latest in a lengthening list; it didn't stop them. That she can't run a rugby club? What, as opposed to Whitcnut? Do me a favour. That she "has none of her own money"? I must admit I am intrigued why she has clearly released full details of her finances and assets to so many on these forums, but I suspect that in the unlikely event that she divorced the good doctor in the morning, their lawyers may well take a different view.

You at least concede that you have no idea of the bid submitted or what criteria the RFL will use to assess whether the move should be blocked. Perhaps it will be blocked. Or perhaps it will not be the accepted bid. If it was, though, would you not concede that would have been by people who DO have full knowledge of the bid submitted (as opposed to your and my zero) and of the relevant criteria to assess whether the move should be blocked?

What is involved in the test?

Does Mrs Koukash have a track record of running successful businesses, or does that not matter?

Re: The mad doctor : Fri Mar 14, 2014 9:47 am  

it's just the kind of owner we want in RL, clubs funded, no debt and a possibility that as a whole we can move forward as a sport to compete against the southern hemisphere. Perhaps in the future it may even stop votes at the RFL of the tail wagging the dog
