Also mention about Hemel Hempstead and why they bought the club as He saw the loophole that didn't allow Toronto central funding, he went on to praise the club and quality of players there and said He had 10 players lined up, now let's see how many of them are original from the team bought.
He is easy going to listen to and I can see why some believe in his guff, just needs to be more realist with what can be achieved without damaging the game.'"
thanks...
Well, from a quick Google search, an orange tree grown from seed takes 15 to 20 years to bare fruit, so it's a pretty rubbish analogy!
Is the interview online somewhere? |

Why not get yourself over the Ottawa thread please. We can discuss how Ottawa can do it differently there?
You would be most welcome. As would anyone else but no baiting people please  |

Would a simple "I'm cashed up, and want to pour millions into a vanity project until I get bored and move on" be sufficient? |

Well that's the history of the game. When a fickle chancer comes along we believe every word. Leyton Samuel at Bridgend, Scarborough Pirates, the git that took over Feath (same one that messed Cas about?), the bloke at Wakey years back. I'm sure you could name more. Time and time again. We are such a poor sport that we jump into bed with terrible people who will walk away as fast as they arrived. |

Salford are still in existence and still in Super League.
Even that other M62 club,Widnes,are still in existence,despite the Vaughans and O'Connors of this world.
M62 clubs appear to attract more financially poor operators than overseas clubs.
I await your explanation.

Didn't Koukash also gift the club to the fans, debt free? Toronto still exist, no debt to anyone. |

No. He wrote off the £5.4m he was owed but it still left them over £4m in debt. Latest accounts show 'debts' of ca£4.5m with net liabilities of ca£3.8m (down around £300k from his time there). |

Thanks, i thought he had made a fanfare of leaving them debt free, but it seems he meant not owing him a debt. The question has to be, who are the liabilities to, and how the rhubarb did they lose that kind of money during his tenure. |

In fairness to Dr Koukash,he took over from a squeaky clean chair of over 30 years,who ran up large debt.
When Dr Koukash left it was unclear how much had been paid and how much was left - as council loans were involved and other financial matters.

I don't think Toronto have a Supporters Trust and it may be a one man show now Perez,and possibly others, have left. |
