Set myself up for an almighty pratfall with that one...

You need to reel it in a bit. It's easy, think of the heroes welcome Omar and Gerry got!

Whoever comes in, I'll be welcoming and wary in equal measure.

This heart been broken too many times, don't know if I could ever love again... :BOOHOO:

I know I know... I've been trying really hard not to get excited, but I just can't not be.

Help me write the next line to the hillbilly wooly bully country and western song I started in my previous post, that'll take your mind off things.




OH, and where's mystic eddie in all this? :CURTAIN:

Please can everyone just keep calm? There’s ample opportunity for defeat to be grasped from the jaws of victory.

I’m determined not to be optimistic until the ink is dry on all the paperwork.

Yeh I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a rather large spanner thrown in by the RFL in the next few days. After all the twists and turns in this story I cannot help worry that there will be a few more yet. We don't even know for sure if Koukash has tabled the biggest bid to the administrator yet.

Who knows where the goalposts will be positioned when the powers that be make their decision.

Re: The 5 runners and riders : Fri Mar 14, 2014 12:32 pm  
You guys seem to be in the same position that we were just over 12 months ago - that giddiness associated with the prospect of someone with real money coming in not just to save you from extinction but to transform you (in your case back to the recent glory days, in ours to future ones hopefully) so it's difficult not to feel stomach churning excitement. At the same time, there's that nagging doubt in the back of your mind that it's all going to go t*ts up before the deal is signed, sealed and delivered.

I think I speak for most Salford fans when I say we know exactly how that feels, in fact Koukash told us all that he was going to walk away from us when he fully discovered the mess we'd got ourselves into, only a chance conversation with some passionate fans in the pub he was in persuaded him to try again. I'm excited for you all and I hope it comes off for you, hopefully when you're at the AJ Bell later this year you can join in with the 'We'd rather have a Koukash than a Khan' song!! :wink:

When my club didn't exist it was still bigger than yours

Re: The 5 runners and riders : Fri Mar 14, 2014 12:44 pm  
Not really apropos of anything this but I was thinking this morning about an alternative reality where he'd become interested in a RL club during our first administration rather than a few months later when Salford were teetering on the brink. (I remember at the time saying I was more worried about Salford than I was about us - ha!). He puts a bid in and buys Bradford.

Making the kinds of moves he has with the salary cap and the golden ticket and all that stuff with Salford he's "a breath of fresh air". I don't mean this disrespectfully to Salford but he said and did those things whilst trying to bring success to a club that hasn't had any for a very long time.

Imagine if he'd said and done those things with us...
