Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "Buying Widnes, which already has a stadium in Widnes, and re-branding it Liverpool, is a crazy idea.
St Helens is already established in St Helens with a good stadium, and a strong local following which does not identify with and does not want to be re-branded Liverpool. Ditto for Warrington.
Koukash's ideas are quite unrealistic.
Like I have already said, Koukash becoming joint owner of London Broncos, pumping money into three more decent key players, getting seriously into marketing, and finding a decent stadium in London, will do more for the growth of the game than the Liverpool concept.'"
However, and to be fair he does have friends and potential partners in the North and was interested in (none RL) development opportunities which just might just be more achievable nearer home?
