Whats the crack with this Koukash related bid rumour - seem to be still circulating and doing the rounds then popping back up on social media, im assuming its just someone not grasping its not true and a bit of wishful thinking ???

There was originally a rumour about his brother being interested in us, which came from TotalRL. But Koukash later outright denied it on twitter, saying his family had no interest. As per usual, people just kept talking about it anyway.

I saw a retweet from him yesterday saying he wishes he could convice his wife to buy a club, which seems to have re-stirred the pot. I couldn't decided if this was him intentionally stirring the pot, or if it was just something tediously to do with the Hethringtons.

Yes I think the wife tweet was about the Hethringtons, but this morning Ross published this in the t&a; this morning in t&a "It is understood that associates of Salford owner Dr Marwan Koukash have also made enquiries about the Bulls but it remains to be seen whether they will table a formal offer.

The good doctor certainly knows how to set hares running. First denying any of his brothers were interested and now mentioning his wife. Perhaps the post from Frank Whitcombe may prove to be prophetic.
But can you imagine the reaction of Red Hall residents. Salford Swinton and the Bulls all run by one family.
Hope to see some friends at the Bullbuilder AGM tomorrow night. Perhaps we should send a last minute invitation to Dr Koukash to address us as a guest speaker.I'd certainly buy him whatever drink is to his taste

Is he not just having a go at the Hetherington clan in that tweet? That's how I read it.

The thing that really annoys about that article is the fact it says Omar Khan is still a rival !!!!

Surely this guy shouldnt even get a mention or be remotely involved with a bid

Even in a parallel world where we all feel entirely trusting of Omar, this is a man who seemingly did not have enough wonga in the first place AND who had to step down because it was apparently harming his health.

Getting involved AGAIN seems so random.

The chap who broke the rumour on TRL is one of the site (and presumably magazine) writers - so not just a random nutjob. He had a source that he believed to be kosher.

You are probably right but if you look at his tweets yesterday, one possible interpretation is that he just might be serious. As someone remarked his wife responded that she could be persuaded. I tend to speak to my wife one to one rather than using social media.
So it might be just a pop at the Hetheringtons and/or Red Hall but he does have a habit of seeing things through . He says what he believes, argues his case and if he's outvoted he takes it on the chin. He's a breath of fresh air--completely open and unapologetic.

Who's this kosher chap, hmm? Hope he has some cash to spend...

Re: The 5 runners and riders : Wed Mar 12, 2014 2:42 pm  

Someone has asked him a direct question on Twitter-- "any truth in the rumour your wife is interested in buying the Bradford Bulls"
His reply --- "Maybe"
