Given the the accepted bidder for our club is no more, there is a petition available to sign supporting Mandy Koukash. I realise a lot of other clubs fans would rather not sign it but we are desperate and would appreciate any help you can give. The petition is here: www.gopetition.com/petitions/let ... .html#sign Thanks in advance and please don't shoot the messenger!!

good luck, the league needs people prepared to back clubs and put them on a sound financial footing and we really need to keep clubs who can attract fans that number 15000+
Red Hall might not agree as it weakens their power.

I'm all for signing an electronic petition and the sport does indeed need some more financial backing which mandy could provide to the bulls, but not in return for handing out all my contact details. why do they need so much information from an individual for what is basically a "poll" with one runner?

I've just popped over from modding the Bulls forum to ask for the three digits on the back of your card. Hope that's ok.

use 666......that's the number on Marwan's

All they wanted was your name and e mail address the rest was optional and you can tick a box to show anonymity

Not sure what the point in the petition is? Have the administrator said or indicated they would accept an offer if the rugby supporting public backed it? It's not like they are government officials who are obliged to do the people's will.

I think the administrator has said Mrs Koukash won't be allowed to buy the club no matter what.
With Lamb pulling out that's two preferred bidders who have withdrawn their offers.
This is just awful for the Bradford club, as for their fans, heaven knows how they must be feeling.
There does seem to be something not quite right though, the administrator has to find a buyer but the RFL are demanding proof of funds. So who exactly is in charge of this administration the RFL or the administrator?

the administrator is only charged with getting the best price they can, whether that's for the whole club or if not possible, then individual assets (inanimate or living). The RFL (I can only assume) will be trying to ensure some long-term viability (ie not another carpet-bagger who'll only be around for 5 minutes) so we're not having the same discussion this time next year. According to reports, Koukash's bid simply wasn't high enough to cover the outstanding debts.

ha ha perhaps I was being a little cynical but it screamed of "marketing" to me at the time.

Brian Carney's view on the takeover on B n A last night is worth a watch.
I do hope it works out well this time for the Bradford fans, they've had to put up with a lot this past few years.

he certainly put a different spin on it
