Well logic says that Mandy Koukash is the right person to buy the club but sadly logic does not apply to Wilson and the RFL.

Re: Ownership and twists : Tue Mar 25, 2014 9:51 am  

I am by birth not very bright, so forgive me for not understanding, I personally don't have a pot to pi$$ in, but could I have gone on Twitter telling anybody who would listen that I was interested in bidding for the bulls, and then again with no money put an offer in and have it provisionally accepted on proviso I proved my funding, when I obviously couldn't do this, could I then come out again on twitter stating that my dog had eaten my wad of cash (a better excuse than Mr Lambs) and just walk away, wasting a month of everybody's time and putting the club in an even more perilous position.
My question is can anybody put a bid in and have it accepted until due diligence is carried out, or do you have to prove your a serious bidder before putting a bid in.

I've long been suspicious that Lamb wasn't a serious player.

I suspect that the end is in sight. I can't see any of the remaining bidders having the money required apart from Koukash but s/he's out of the running for some reason the administrator isn't saying.

One possible theory is that the RFL want the BPA bid to be approved and are refusing all other offers despite the administrator being happy.

Can't really see why they'd do that given that they've no £2m.

Looks like more plodding along as a lame duck. Surely this can't go on till the end of th season?

Re: Ownership and twists : Tue Mar 25, 2014 10:09 am  

RFL want more proof of funding! this if from the RFL that couldn't get a sponsor for SL for 2 seasons, laughable really.
So if Lamb and co are out then the administrator should look at ALL bids again including MK, i have to say this is dragging on to long and the Players and Fans are suffering, but the RFL know this and probably don't give a S$%^T as they want us down and out of SL.

A few more injuries and we wont have 17 to put on the field.

Looking at the coming matches only the real die hard fans will turn out if we are unable to keep 13 first teamers on the pitch to be vaguely competitive - so a further fall in income for the administrator and the rfl who are presumably helping pay the remaining wages?

Re: Ownership and twists : Tue Mar 25, 2014 10:38 am  

The silence is deafening from the RFL.

No statement, no time-frame, just second hand excuses via press reports..

All the while the team, the club, the fans sit and wait, can't sign any players, lose more games, lose more morale etc etc etc.

"proof of funding" don't make me laugh, quite pathetic.

When someone mentioned at the game on Sunday that the money for lambs bid was coming from 'overseas' I began to have doubts about his bid. On social media it has been heavily rumoured that Peter Hood was involved in his bid in some way (although he denied it someone mentioned he had been advising) & the cynic in me thinks this mystery overseas money may be the same one he referred to previously that was supposed to have been lined up but never emerged during the first admin. I could be totally off the mark and it may not be linked but it would tie in with Lamb suddenly not been able to provide the proof needed. The rfl seem to have it in for us and based on all that is going on seem to want us gone, there seems to have been a total media blackout on this by the usual sources though & Surely they should be questioning the rfl and their handling of this like they did last time.

What I just cannot get my head around is the silence from the RFL. It makes no sense to me. Even someone with the most basic of comms training would see that there’d even be merit in a bland “We recognise that this is a worrying time for all fans and staff of the Bradford Bulls. We are in daily contact with the Administrator”.

We’d all scream blue murder that it was saying nothing, but that’s the base level for communications. Total silence is outright bizarre.
