Comments on twitter are suggesting that will be no decision until Thursday.

This probably ties in with the administrator meeting the clowns at red hall later this week.

Glad to know they are almost breaking a sweat!

Exactly, which is also why its hardly surprising to hear/read quotes in the gurdian and observer from "sources close to the club" clearly briefing in favour of the Lamb bid. Any sources that close to meaningful info might have more to fear for their own jobs from Koucash bringing in a new management team. The Lamb bid, I would guess, might retain....or reinstate? some/more of the old team. Only my random musings and reading between the lines of course.

Could well be but has the administrator left much in the way of back office, admin, coaching staff to replace? Any serious managers would be looking to build from our current low point.

However if I were the defensive coach after yesterday I would have spent the morning on Fish4Jobs looking in areas not requiring knowledge of RL defence patterns and tackling technique.

How much are these administrators on? Probably holding out a bit longer for his own benefit.

RFL still trying to find a way to block Koukash...

Didn't take that long last time did it?? mind you that could be one argument in the wrong decision.

Seems to me we have two possible contenders, in one corner a group who are talking about, accepting the points deduction, being relegated and rebuilding from the championship. The other contender is somebody who will invest this year and challenge the points deduction with the aim of not been relegated.

From the RFL's point of view one possible candidate who will create a massive amount of challenge and headaches and one contender who will bend to whatever the RFL say.

Who would you pick or more importantly who will the RFL pick

With Lamb also having worked with the RFL in the last, it gives them a virtually guaranteed vote in any new
"RFL innovative idea" vote.

Where as if Mandy gets it, it makes Koukash even more powerful and someone who really challenges the RFL.

While I wouldn't be devastated if we got Lamb, he seems a good businessman and him in charge is better than
No one at all, I could see us being an RFL pawn in any vote

The vast majority of Ltd companies in the UK are managed by their owners, so in most cases it does help to know how to run it. Exxon or other Plc's form a tiny minority of the corporate base in the UK.

The vast majority of UK companies are probably one man plumbing businesses [or similar], shops and small partnerships. I'd have thought the number of companies with a turnover of over a couple of million quid must be relatively small, just think how many one-man operated shops there are, for instance - so, whilst I'm far from surprised that most companies are owner run, I'm not really sure what the relevance is for the Bulls.

Hmmm. Cynic in me wonders if delay is to give lamb consortium 'opportunity' to adjust their bid to match koukashs. One things for sure if lamb wins with a financially worse bid koukash will create a lot of noise in public about it.

Re: The 5 runners and riders : Mon Mar 17, 2014 3:56 pm  

The cynic in me wonders why it is taking 4 days longer to announce since the last round.

If Mr Koukash (sorry Mrs) doesn't win I fully expect him to release details of his bid which could prove very interesting.
