" it wouldn't surprise me at all if Koukash isn't helping them out with the finances - it would suit him just nicely! "

Based on what?Your an idiot, now go and have a glass of water and a sit down!

When the Bulls get relegated, Mrs. Koukash will buy the club as there will be no conflict with another club in the same division.

[quote="TRB"]The truth, as I remember, is that the RFL never actually threatened us with relegation. What they did do is tell us that an act of insolvency would result in our relinquishing our SL licence and that we would be forced to re-apply for it. Given that this was conveniently at the end of the season, and with a background of knowledge that there was a desire to cut the numbers of clubs in SL, and with the club having a track history of financial problems, it was fairly clear that there was a high degree of chance that the fellow SL clubs - who are the shareholders who can determine the granting of a licence - would not vote for us and we would therefore need to re-apply to the RFL, a process that would almost certainly have us join in Championship 1.

Which in short means we were threatened with relegation

I think its a bit stronger than threatened with relegation.

If we had entered Administration we would have immediately lost our Super League Licence and therefore we would have been relegated from Super League. We would have then had to re-apply to join Super League for 2014 with no guarantee that we would have been accepted and more than likely with the desire of Clubs to reduce the competition to 12 teams not been re-admitted. We then would have had to apply to join the Championship, probably at Championship 1 level but that would not have been a certainty.

Bradford entered Administration for the 2nd time in 2 years but they did not have their Super League Licence withdrawn but were allowed to continue in Super League, although with a 6 point deduction which is the norm for entering Administration. The deduction can be reduced if creditors are paid off by the new owners as it was in our case.

It was these "double standards" that prompted the letter to the RFL from the Trust.

I didn't say it WAS happening, just that it wouldn't surprise me if it was.

It is no secret that Koukash and Hudgell despise Nigel Wood and his cronies. None of us love them, and a shake up would be welcomed by me, but this is not the way to do it and I have lost some respect for both of them as a result of their public declaration of support for Marc Green.

Now deal with the subject matter please!
