Whatever happened to Koukash and Backhouse

I was reading a story about Everton’s new ground and it made me wonder about a few things- is the idea of Liverpool RLFC now dead in the water or might it soon resurface? More particularly though how do we think things might have been now if these two investors had come into Widnes?

I remember at the time that there was a lot of division of opinions, some considered it an opportunity lost for the club, whilst other considered it a near miss, but in retrospect would these opinions still be the same? I do recall Marwan had a messy divorce which impacted his finances and no doubt covid may have impacted both of them so let’s keep it polite!

Well we could do with some big investment like these fellas if want Superleague. Leigh, Huddersfield, Wakefield and Salford won't be in good positions without decent investors. Hopefully if we keep improving someone will come on board. 👍🥖🥖

Was never a thing. A mate of mine mocked up a Logo for LRLFC, opened a twitter account, mentioned MK & LB, and the idiots at Sky Sports News picked it up and ran with it.

It was never a thing and K&B had nothing to say about it.

Don't think Koukash is in a position to fund a new Rugby club anyway, as he was declared bankrupt last year 🤦

He was usually pretty vocal on Twitter too, but hasn't posted anything since around the time the news came out 😬
