Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_5733.jpeg



I think this would be a disastrous move for Trinity if it went through. I still cannot see any teams in the relegation scrap apart from Bradford, London (who are as good as gone) Wakefield and Les Cats, although I expect them to improve significantly.

If a big money buyer comes in and throws investment at Bradford which I have no doubt they would and make some instant changes I think Wakefield would be very much under threat.

I welcome the Koukash approach as the game is crying out for investment and radical thinkers but with a bit of luck this proposed move will not go through until Wakefield are safe.

Whilst I can see the argument that this could not be good news for ourselves, one has to look at the wider picture for the good of the game, and any investment into the game has to be good.

If we are good enough on the field we will stay up, if we are not we go down. Just as it always should be. We would never have been relegated under these rules and I think our squad is more than good enough to continue this trend

MC does appear to be good friends with the DR, I am sure he will ask if he has any other family members who wish to invest in our little old club.

EVENTUALLY, WE'LL WIN SOMETHING, ,MAYBE, IF I'M STILL ALIVE THEN:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_31007.jpg



My belief is that the Koukash family is buying the club they wish they'd bought two years ago. If the Salford faithful stay away, I reckon he'll dump them and go to Bradford.

Interesting times but good luck to them. The game is better for having many powerhouses.

Koukash always talks about big gates that Bradford can offer. This is what he is after and realises that some other clubs just can't give 15K gates whereas the Bulls probably could. The rules don't state any problems with man and wife owning different clubs. The Bulls probably don't require many new players. There are three overseas spots. Most signings will be in the pack and they have stated that Franny has some lined up before this last mess blew up. I can see them getting 2 points back which put Catalan and London in a mess. Now that wouldn't go down well if the Bulls and Wakey both stay up and those two dropped out.

We have to be careful considering we have Kath Hetherington consulting for us and do you think Leeds would go out of their way to help us to defeat them. I hope that whoever buys the Bulls do have all or some of their points returned because this should mean they have come to an agreement with creditors including HMRC. I think we need some credibility as a sport with HMRC.
I guess the problem she faces is that in addition to HMRC you also have to consider Mr Khan who will want his money back. I believe he has put in a bid and must be considered a front runner because of the money he claims to be owed by club.
It will be an interesting time ahead, I think we know who the Bull supporters want but it is not their decision. The administrator will reach the agreement he considers to be the best to pay off the debts and should not take into consideration a bidders connections.

I think we are a better side than a lot of people think obviously it would make easier for us if Bradford kept the points deduction and had little squad investment but in my opinion we have a stronger first 13 than last season and will get better as the season progresses providing we are lucky with injuries. The key for us is to keep 4-5 sides around us and not get left behind
