good luck, the RFL could be on borrowed time, there were 5 votes out of 14 for the last proposal that the Dr was behind. When Bulls stay up and 2 of the RFL/Hetherington clan get relegated that will mean 6 votes out of 12 in the bag......won't take much for someone to side with the owners/chairmen who have the financial clout and finally force some much needed change through that benefits forward thinking successful clubs

For reasons such as that Pie Warrior I think the RFL will block the Koukash bid and let Omar buy his own company out of administration

The good Dr frequently bemoans the lack of fans at Salford - now does that sound familiar to Bulls fans - Chairman saying not enough people coming through the gate?

But if he had splashed the cash spent at Salford on the Bulls he would have certainly have received a better return at the gate - a key factor for all the potential bidders

Also gives him an extra vote when it comes to meetings with the RFL... Koukash v Hetherington - can't wait...

Im not sure where this comes from, Heatherington and Koucash were the two who were pushing the marquee rule

the Omar bid could be very bad for The Bulls, he could put in the minimum amount needed, not worry about staying up, get rid of players at end of season, take the parachute payment money and do a runner......

Roger its up to the Administrator not the RFL - He was appointed by the Creditors

only if the RFL grant them a licence to play in their competition

Imagine the backlash from other clubs if they refuse to sanction the Administrators preferred bidder

If Omar's wins I will picket Red Hall.

That's exactly how I see it,will try get as much money back as poss and then fall ill again and do one.If Omar took over again the crowds would go down even more,if the Dr and Mandy took over I think they would rise instantly

Haven't the RFL got to agree,does the administrator just give his approval to a bid and then RFL have final say.

Anyway, I can see a the RFL doing something completely unexpected which in a way would be expected,if that makes sense
