If this comes off it is a major coup for Salford and I can see you going in the direction that Warrington have since they got took over. 3-5 years, with the right squad, right coaching staff and right owners and board and there's no telling how successful Salford could be.

Having played for Salford Academy once upon a time I do have a soft spot for Salford and as such I hope this comes off.

According to Radio Manchester, Dr Koukash is hoping to be at the friendly tomorrow night.

Let's hope it goes ahead.

Also hope the stadium management ensure the microphone is working.

Radio Manchester are reporting that he's in negotiation with Salford City Council and Peel Holdings to buy the club and the stadium, as if he's going for them both together.

Could just be sloppy journalism, or it could be that things have moved on from the 'buying the club and negotiating an improved rental deal' stage.

Think the MEN also reported this. Could end up with our own ground after all...

He's booked a hospitality box for his friends & family for the game tomorrow.

One question I would have is would he be buying the ground in the name of Salford RLFC or in his own right?

Strikes me that if it's the latter we could end up in a worse position than we are now if he wanted to change the usage of the site to say football. Might be nice if (I use the word if as I'm not convinced there is much to this) he did buy it that the council use it's part ownership of the ground to insert a clause into the sale that Salford are primary tenants for a specific period.
