I'm confused, HE was the one who tweeted his (or do I mean her?) bid was unsuccessful, and now he's claiming nobody told him whether they were successful?

So either he tweeted he was unsuccessful because he was lying, and trying to get the fans to pressure administrators in his favour - or he was told his bid was unsuccessful then tweeted (so he's lying), and is just a convenient excuse for him to let his bottom lip wobble cos he failed to buy another vote ...

Maybe he found out that the bid was unsuccessful from someone other than the RFL. This was in the article you linked to:

"Mandy obviously is very upset and I am very angry for her as well because I think no-one in the last couple of weeks has made a courtesy call to thank her for her bid, or to tell her of the outcome, and we are having to hear the news through the media."

Sounds like yet another Straw Marwan incident.

I read it as he's angry nobody thanked Mandy Koukash for her bid or provided her with an outcome (i.e who was the winning bidder).

Re: The mad doctor : Thu Mar 27, 2014 12:54 pm  

Well someone must have told her as 'she' apparently increased her bid TWICE.

And here's the tweet

Sadly, my wife's bid to buy the Bulls will not be the winning one. As she understands, it was not the highest bid

This was long before anything was announced to the public, so either the rfl or the administrators had told him (or he was lying) - I would imagine the administrators.

Alternately, the administrators told them that they were unsuccessful, and he still thinks for some reason the rfl should send them a thank you card ... Given they were simply outbid, and the rfl had nothing to do with them being rejected I don't see why, so he's just had a lip wobble.

It seems Dr K wasn't the only individual unhappy with the course of conduct of both the RFL and the administrator. Mr Lamb statement If you are content that all has been handled above board,and with utmost professionalism,and the person who took the club into administration is able to then purchase the club,that's fine.

I know, but that's my point. The tweet doesn't tell us how they found out the bid was unsuccessful, just that they "understand" they were outbid. And that's where your Straw Marwan comes in: it must be that he's either lying or sulking. There's no other possibility. It's what Straw Marwan does. However, the article you linked to suggests they found out the bid was unsuccessful through some unofficial channel and have had no direct contact from either the RFL or the administrator. Unless and until we hear a response from either, I don't see the need to get the pitchforks out.

There hasn't been much (or any) back channel info coming out (look at the bullmania thread) - so anyone telling koukash he was unsuccessful would of been involved in the bid - whether rfl side or administrator side. The only other option was he decided to rule himself out based on hearsay ... So I will add a third option of him being a sucker for rumours if that's any better? Personally in that situation, I wouldn't post anything as definitive as what he did without it coming from somewhere I trust to be the correct information - and now he's gone back on that, so either he shouldn't of posted it because he hadn't been told, he posted it for his own gain, or he's a sucker for listening to rumours.

He's more than fine to canvas support for his bid (look at the resulting Mandy for bulls petition after all) but one and the other don't add up ... Unless he trusted someone telling him he was out of it when he shouldn't of listened

If he hasn't been told by anyone his bid was unsuccessful (other than hearsay, because there wasn't anything in the papers until they tweeted it) then that's poor form by the administrator ... But it's not anything to do with the rfl, they didn't even make it to rfl preferred bidder stage...
