Well, let's not be coy. Let's name names: is it Richard Lamb?

Because I'm not sure I can go through all that all over again where he talked himself up, then couldn't deliver.

To be fair to him the RFL gave him an impossible job. £1m in one account and you have 2 days to pull it together? And they also never responded to the Koukash tweet to them that if they want to see £1m she could provide it within the hour.

I still think they had an agenda.

Richard Lamb told me he was only given 24 hours to prove he had £1M in the account.

Correct.

Well if you do have £1million in an account, how long does it take to prove it?

I could prove my (complete lack of) worth right now if I had to.

Did Marc Green have to prove he had £1 million in the same 24 hours?

Genuine question

Yes, he did.

The problem with Richard Lamb was that he three others in the bid with him. Difficulties ensued.

Totally agree - There doesn't seem to be any accountability by the powers that be. Different rules for different Clubs.

With Green being one of the preferential creditors of the last Admin with his £250k debt he had an advantage with any CVA by waiving his own debt for himself but having the power by not waiving it for Lawn & Rhodes, Lamb or Koukash if he wanted putting him as offer No1.

Eh?

The money was owed by OK Bulls to Safeguard Security.

Green put OKB into administration and then off it went to liquidation. There was never any CVA.

The business of the Bulls was bought by a different company, Bradford Bulls Northern Ltd., from the administrator. The RFL largely called the shots on that, because although the RFL wasn't involved in the administration, it did get to decide whether any new owner could get to keep the SL club and so the RFL were the kingmaker.

[list=[/list
They didn't respond to the Koukash tweet? Since when has tweeting been the preferred method of communication for private business arrangements?

That just says it all it was merely Koukash self promotion and still is. Forget them they aren't interested in the club

In fact scrap that. Yes RFL should have replied asking Mandy to share the details of her banking arrangements on Twitter.

Correct. Green showed proof he could fund losses up to the end of that season lamb didn't. It's as simple as that.

At least it's not silly greenwoods again.

Those difficulties being they couldn't provide proof of funds.

I never said they should respond by tweet? The fact the didn't contact the Koukash clan was publicised at the time by them to suggest the 'we have no say' RFL were in fact having the major say.

What is it you're saying? Are you saying that a better bid was on the RFL's table, with all boxes ticked, but they corruptly ignored it and went ahead with their favoured bidder? Is that what you actually think happened?

Really?



Secondly, far from "having no say", everyone knew that there was no point being the winning bidder to the Administrator, without at the same time having the approval of RFL to run a club, join SL and take over the Bulls as an existing member. You're confusing two separate things.

No I am saying that in the usual RFL manner there was smoke, mirrors, a lack of clarity and conflicting information from them themselves and the Administrator. And they themselves said the decision wasn't in their hands. Simply pointing out it was handled badly. Even by RFL standards.

What decision wasn't in their hands?

I know we're all ignoring the Championship Shield as a pointless load of friendlies, but realistically, shouldn't awards wait until nearer the end of the season? We have at least 7 more games to go yet.

The awards will be announced after the Championship Shield Final.

Just a reminder that there's no Bradford Bulls Forum tonight due to the Newcastle v Bradford U19's academy game.

Myself, Hobbo, Ross and Harrison will be back next Wednesday at 7:30 pm.

Just a reminder that it's the Bradford Bulls forum tonight at 7.30pm on BCB Online.

Hopefully you can join myself and the boys as look to discuss the latest developments at Odsal.

Any questions you want asking tweet using the #BCBBULLS hashtag.

Happy listening.
