The giveaway was when his wife Mandy turned around and looked at the Doc everytime she was asked a direct question.

He actually says "we have been looking at a number of clubs" at 1min 27sec.

the best bit is near the start, when the Doc says "Mandy has been interested in buying a rugby club for a while now" and she just lets out a a little laugh.

Painful to watch that interview though.

Koukash has fallen madly in love with the sport and want's to buy rugby league.

Yeah, that was weird. Maybe the interviewer couldn't get Koukash's accent and thought he said something other than "Bulls".

Re: The mad doctor : Fri Mar 14, 2014 3:35 pm  

I get the point being made about the interview. But using Saddam and children under threat seems a little tasteless. But maybe that's just me.

Absolutely no doubt who's in control there. What a complete and utter farce. Quite clearly she has been put up to this by her husband and has no clue about running a rugby league club - she did not provide even one half-decent answer to the easy questions posed by the kindly interviewer, who seemed to be embarrassed for her. Lets get her in an interview on her own and ask her which players she would bring in, what she would do financially to turn the club around etc. etc. I have to say it makes for a brilliant soap opera but I hope someone, somewhere has the ability to pull the plug on this jolly jape before it all ends in tears (of laughter)...
