So if it comes off we potentially get a half decent team and a racecourse? Nice one

How Koukash will get planning permission for a racecourse in Salford because he may own Salford is a strange one for me. Peel have been kicking the idea around for years and are well and truly in bed with the council but there has been no movement whatsoever on the racecourse front.

If it does, by some miracle, enable a racecourse to be built in Salford it's even better news for the City. A potentially strong Super a league side and new state of the racecourse to go along with MediaCity would really put us on the map.

I don't buy into this Buy Salford to get pally with Peel & the Council for a Racecourse . However, Dr Koukash mixes in circles with the likes of the Reuben Bros, Billionaire owners of Northern Racing who run 11 racecourses,http://www.reubenfoundation.com/ar_reubens_join_ranks.html They acquired Arena Leisure last year which now takes their total up to 17 racecourses. So would Peel be interested in closer links with the Ruebens to back their bid to build a all weather Flat course on the old Bridgewater Estate , you bet.http://www.reubenbrothers.com/NorthernRacing.aspx

So you all feel that the honourable Dr woke up one day on his holiday and thought i know i'll go and buy myself a rugby league club and looked around to find one riddled in debt and up for sale.
Come on, wake up and smell the coffee.......it may not happen immediatley but in time the real deal will come to light and i'd hedge my bets on it involving horses and race tracks.
As it happens, it's great news for salford and good luck to you.

Re: Dr Marwan Koulash : Sun Jan 13, 2013 2:19 am  

The Dr.'s possible involvement sounds fantastic.All the right noises being made.Lets hopebit all comes off including his ambitions.One thing did surprise me( despite his obvious connection)is that he did his press through a St Helens paper.

Re: Dr Marwan Koulash : Sun Jan 13, 2013 12:43 pm  

Although it is very positive news and I hope Salford do come through this, it's very easy to get carried away with comments like that.

Ste o'connor saved our great club in 2007. He's invested £2-£3million of his own money. However he has come out with comments such as "were not coming to superleague to make up the numbers" and "we are coming to dominate".

We do have a steady side and we are playing in the Uk's highest league which is the main thing but I think it's been a little more difficult than first imagined. A business plan went in based on average attendance figures, like most clubs do. When we didn't meet those figures he's been covering losses year upon year and rumours are he may want out, don't think they're true.

I'm glad somebody has come in to potentially save Salford, I just think it will take years upon years to achieve success. Like ourselves and Bradford
