Yes and the comparison of the Koucash situation and the Hetheringtons is patently different, some that only the hardest of thinking would not be able to grasp.

Hetheringtons - Two employees of different clubs, both with influential positions but not the final say on decisons and at all times have someone independant above them (messrs Carter & Caddick) able to make the decisions or overule ones that have been made.

Koucashs - Two owners of different clubs answerable to nobody. What they say goes with no comeback or questions asked by anyone with any seniority.

See the difference yet?

Of course I do, which is why I entered the conversation in the first place by pointing out that KH once had a large stake in Hull and then went on to explain why I'd done that in the posts leading up to the one you responded to.

Thanks for making us go round in circles though. Most threads about Bradford need that.

You could of course also bring up the time when GH was in charge of Leeds but had sold most but very from all of his stake in Sheffield.

It doesn't take much effort to see that what constitutes a conflict of interest from the RFLs perspective is nebulous at best. I have said I don't know what the rules are and I'm really not that inclined to go look them up. I just don't think it's obvious that this situation falls foul of them.

The suggestion that Mandy koucash is interested in buying Bradford independently of her husband is clearly ridiculous.In the seven minute interview on Sky .Marwan did 99% of the talking ,his wife had very little to say about anything.

No doubt she will speak to the RFL on her own, without her husbands interference, just like she didn't interfere when he bought Salford.

Thread cleaned up.

Stay on topic please.

Think this part reaction from his ticking off from the RFL this guy wants his own way and will do anything to get it. Hope the rfl see through this one.

I am sure the RFL would prefer if he introduced some of his millionaire racing mates to our great game rather than buying up teams himself.

Unfortunate that someone with money comes along and puts it into clubs when P&R is back on.
Good for the clubs who benefit but will make a two tier league even more visible

To try and compare Mandy and Kath's knowledge, experience and love of the game is ludicrous. And anyone suggesting to Kath that she can be influenced or controlled by a third party had better be wearing some robust protection !

OK - for what it is worth. I believe that if the good doctor wants to own 2 clubs then I doubt the RFL have the required physical attributes to stop him. Any questions and he points at the Hetheringtons. Kath may know the game and Mandy does not but it is still husband and wife so what can they say.
I just hope he does not buy into Bradford and abandon Salford.
Anyway has he got any offspring that want into a tidy little club who know where to find a good welder.
No on second thoughts we'll be fine thanks.

Mrs Koucash hasn't a clue about Bradford or Rugby League. If the Doc wants another club then be open about it if there are no rules against it, but for goodness sake don't try and kid everyone that the Mrs is remotely interested in buying Bradford and running a club in Super League.

It appears that none of you think we have a strong enough squad to avoid relegation. We have to face it someone will buy the Bulls, why should that be a concern of ours. What happens at the Bulls is their business all we can concentrate on is our own club.
I would say let's just end this pointless paranoia if we produce on the field we stay up if not then we go down. I think some commentators include/exclude clubs from the relegation battle based on their past history. I believe you can add several other clubs to the relegation scenario Hull KR, Catalan etc.
I would make one final point so what if Mrs Koukash buys the Bulls because you can buy players with money but not a team as Salford are currently proving.
