I think he has demonstrated even throwing money at players, and coaches doesn't necessarily get you success, and it would be hard to imagine him having the patience for years in the championship

Source?

Think he's learned from last year tbf, salfords team this year was full a younger players and no one gave them a chance but they surprised a few.

If he does pull the plug then I can't see Salford surviving.

It would make sense, Bradford are a BIG CLUB, where as Salford manage home fans around the 2K mark, despite him having assembled a decent squad for them....but If he wanted to sell his Salford ownership, who would want it ? Looks like he's stuck with them....

Today's T&A.

Wasn't there a Salford knights group at one point who looked to buy but koukash took over instead.

I'm undecided. If we were an SL team I'd want Green..he's an astute businessman and has actually done a brilliant job with the club. Lowes and Ferres had plenty of money to spend. Unfortuantely they utterly wasted it. They're the reason we're in this mess not Green. We've the right people running the academy and they're flourishing. Green kept the acadmies and the appointment of John Bastian was a masterstroke.

But we are now in the dire situation of playing in the championship shield and central funding of £150k. Green doesn't have the finances to make up the shortfall.

Koukash has calmed down a lot and has seemed to have taken more of a back seat. But he has the brass needed to pump into a club if they are to climb Everest and somehow get out of this divsion.

Sadly it looks like if you want someone to pump money into the club, we may have to accept them being a bit of a div.

Koukash was at Leigh because he's looking too put money in to Leigh is very strong rumour doing the rounds!

IMHO the best thing that [i*Both*[/i Bradford & Salford could do (apart from Bulls having a better squad/more £££) is to expedite vacating those stadiums ASAP.

Both Odsal (terrible stadium in disrepair & a poor viewing experience) & the AJ Bell (wrong place & in Salford by postcode but hated by their fans) seem to be dragging the clubs down, or at least contributing).

While I don't profess to have the definitive answer & from the outside looking in, Salford should look to build nearer to central Salford & ground share with either Swinton or FC United.

Bradford is a much more difficult proposition in that they don't have a Koukash. Odsal is a horror show *as was Hilton Park, though we loved the place & as was Knowsley Road*, surely a purpose built Stadium, capacity c14,000 - 15,000 near to central Bradford is the way forward ?
There will be large swathes of brownfield land that both sets of fans are aware of that could fit the bill.

Having said all of this, I don't think it would be a piece of cake by any means.
The first question being, are Bradford contractually bound to a let on their Stadia for example.

I just wonder what both Bradford & Salford fans views on this are & look forward to hearing them.

My view on the Koukash thing at the time was that if he was in anyway serious about buying the Bulls a couple of years ago via his wife then he would have done. IMO he was never really that serious about it, and he does seem to attach himself to any “big” RL story going, so to me it seemed a bit of self-publicity. His wife said that she would be happy to assist the club even when Green took over, if the club ever looked at that or it wasn’t ever a serious offer I guess we’ll never know.

The one thing I do think is that Koukash genuinely does like us as a club (he seems to have made his peace with Green) and as fans – I think he probably does look at us as a “what if”. However, something tells me that that it’s even more unlikely than last time – he’s best buddies with Uncle Derek at Leigh (which is a big enough warning sign for me to begin with), even if he did pack it in at Salford, I do think some kind of partnership or takeover at Leigh may be more likely. Would like to know how this story came about, Mick is reporting a similar thing on Twitter. Did Dr K just announce it, or is it the old journalists trick of saying “would you ever think about taking over the Bulls” and he said “Yes, maybe one day”. With Koukash you never know!

I can't currently see any scenario where we move away from Odsal and continue as a club similar to how we are now. We'd have to be back in Super League and pretty stable financially. I agree, it's a logical argument, but sports fans aren't logical. I know folk who packed it in when we moved to Valley Parade and never came back, despite winning the treble on our return to Odsal.

Don't think we'll get any sort of new stadium whilst we are in the Championship, unless our hand is forced financially - it'll be a decision not of our choosing.
