Quote
A strong rumour is circulating that one of Dr Marwan Koukash’s brothers is set to make a bid to buy the Bradford Bulls. The Salford Red Devils owner is one of seven siblings and sees potential in our sport to make lots of money. Our source indicated his enthusiasm rubbed off on his sibling, who is preparing a bid that could drag the Odsal club from the mire.
Let’s hope it’s true – regardless of who you support, there’s no doubting Super League needs the Bradford Bulls.'" Interesting.

| Perhaps the good doctor is interested in doing a "Hetherington" to expand his voting rights at SL and RFL

You know what I was thinking the same thing, if all 7 of em get involved we could have the KFL (Koucash Football League), only problem i can see is that if we become a feeder for Salford as Marwan may have more power behind him, If its works all round and we can get someone who isnt afraid to speak his mind like the Dr then im all for it.

| As a Wigan fan, I hope the rumours of Koukash’s brother, or any other genuine investor comes along quickly and sorts out the issues you guys are having.
The sport needs all the strength it can get, and to loose a team of the Bulls standing would not be good for the game. Hope the days of you being the force you once were are soon to return and we can enjoy many close battles with Bradford again.
Think any genuine fan of the sport would want you to be saved, in the right way. Will be good to draw a line under all of this for everyone, especially the fans of the Bulls.
If this is sorted soon I would certainly put a lot of money on you staying up, and as long as finances are in order going from strength to strength. What a way to stick 2 fingers up to the narrow minded fans of small clubs that are sticking the boot in.
Wigan are a rich club, if Lenaghan walks away though it wouldn't be long until we were in a similar situation to you guys.

| I think every team is like that, either just surviving or has a backer, but if they walk they are going to be in all kinds of trouble.
Think there are maybe 4 teams who could survive without a backer (Wigan, Leeds, Saints and Warrington) the rest would struggle.
But thanks anyway

| Koukash quoted by Ross Heppenstall at the moment on twitter speaking very warmly of the Bulls. I like this quote:
Ross Heppenstall @rosshtanda ·1 min
"The club has been raped of its best assets, but people are still paying their hard-earned money and turning up through the turnstiles...

Surely the Koukash Football Conference would be better.
I can even think of a sponsor for that.

| All rights reserved Ross Hepenstall Twitter. Erm presumably this is ok...(says the mod cluelessly)
Just had an interesting chat with Dr Koukash. Wouldn't comment directly on any family involvement/offers for Bulls but spoke v well of club
"The club has been raped of its best assets, but people are still paying their hard-earned money and turning up through the turnstiles...
Koukash said: "The potential at Bradford is huge. There were nearly 6,000 people there yesterday, despite all the difficulties..
"At any club, it's easy to build a team. It's a lot more difficult to build a fanbase. But the fanbase is there at Bradford...

| Surely you mean the Koukash Football Konference?
Sir go and apply for the marketing managers job a bradford ASAP
Liking the Dr more and more, begs the question why did he choose Salford? was it just due to the timing of him looking at the sport was the time Salford where heading towards the mire?

| Stranger things have happened, may just be thinking "if no one will listen to me, i will crush them all" and just fill the oppo with his family and then get a majority verdict on votes

| Yeah we can forget the Koukash thing I reckon. Marwan is very clear on twitter his brother has no interest.

| Quote ="Highlander"So trade creditors were getting 100p in the £, that interview with Sadler is specific that the only creditor [inot[/i getting paid would be Omar himself.
Can we now assume that HMRC was being counted as a trade creditor?
So then the RFL decision would seem to be based on the question of enough capital from BB2014?
So then the story about spreading the £600k Sky money deduction over 5 years rather than this year becomes important, and not an unreasonable request?
Which can be spun as Rimmer saying a £500k advance, or also basically correct as deferring a £500k penalty...'"
I guess that would depend upon which division the Bulls found themselves in surely.
£100k per annum wouldnt be too much of a hit in SL, but in the championship i guess it would?

Denied on Twitter.
Sutcliffe would be a good signing but our most dire need is for big front rowers IMO.

| The article has been updated to included the Twitter denial but they (League Express) are still not ruling it out based on the source of the information. Of course it wouldn't be prudent for Koukash to confirm an interest or indeed offer 'no comment' as that may affect negotiations. That said if it turns out to be true then the Dr has lied in his Tweet!
