Perhaps best if we didn't try to micro analyse every aspect of the deal so leave the professionals to it.
For the record,we couldn't be worse off than we are at the moment. Without a deal we are in administration.

I think it's extremely exciting. I'm a Wigan fan, but I went to Salford University and introduced my friends to rugby league by bringing them down to the Willows and showing how good our sport is compared to others. The prospect of losing Salford for good didn't sit right with me. I applaud Dr Koulash's involvment and I hope that in the not to distant future Salford City Reds will in the top 4, consistently. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/21070638 That article indicates to me Dr Koulash also shows a great deal of respect to Salford and the Rugby League community.

Didn't even go to London away last season - God son's birthday. Friday night KOs are a no-no for me. It doesn't help being a 'football widow'.

Really happy for the city and the fans....assuming everything goes through.

A major contribution to their £11 million turnover came from concert and bar revenue, including a sell-out gig by Tom Jones at Kingsholm over the summer.

Can anyone confirm if Securitas are still going to be main shirt sponsors? Would hope if they are that new shirts are all but ready to go and at the very least the team roll out in them at the first game in a couple of weeks.

Was at an airport in Belgium the other week and the security staff were all wearing Securitas outfits so wonder if we can get all there staff into Salford shirts now that would be good publicity
