| Quote wrencat1873="wrencat1873"Pretty much any club would welcome a guy like Koucash and having a multi, multi millionaire coming into the sport has to be a good thing.
It will be interesting if Leigh is where he ands up as, I dont see DB as the kind of bloke who wants to be "equal" or play no 2 and neither does Koucash so, there may be an almighty fall out at some point.
There is also the cynic in me that thinks that this could be Leigh trying to ensure their SL survival as, a sport so short of cash, wouldn't want to be seen to be pushing Koucash back into the wilderness and with a restructure on the cards, Leigh (or any other serious contender wont want to risk being the wrong side of any drawbridge that may be pulled up). Their best chance of a SL spot is to find a way of remaining in the top flight.
If MK and BD are such close friends and have been so for such a long time, why is it only now that MK has stuck his head above the parapet and why wouldn't he take on a club where he could be the No 1. this makes it all seem a little bit strange, certainly in terms of timing.
On the plus side, the bloke is seriously loaded and he was happy to mix things up as far as the power base in RL is concerned.
Without him, we wouldn't have the marque signing and there is sure to be demands for a salary cap increase.
This wont help the smaller clubs in the comp but, it may help the sport.'"
Did you listen to the radio programme, there was a disclosure and something I was unaware of that Dr. Koukash is very recently divorced, perhaps over the duration of what I would expect to be a very stressful period the timing has not been right in looking for another street to walk down, that having now been resolved he may feel that the time is right to get involved again in what he said "Rugby League is now in my blood", and what better way to do it than to have a confident and good friend to share it with. |

| Quote Harry Stottle="Harry Stottle"You hope!
It must be gnawing away at you, that little Leigh can attract this kind of wealth, and your club has had aspirations of doing so for years but alas no one comes a knocking.
C'mon please be sensible any body going through the gate will be stuck with 'first inpressions' that will not dissapate and that is long before looking into the financials, sorry Jake- you are LaMotta I take it - you have no hope of ever getting that financial comfort blanket, but good luck any way, and I will look forward to our clashes with the Bulls next season.'"
This is a thread anout Leigh. Please dont derail it and bring Bradford in to it.
Theres a good lad  |

If he has been divorced,in England, he won't have much money left - now, or in the future. |

Divorce or no divorce, the timing, just as the relegation axe may be about to fall on Leigh, is probably no coincidence.
Right now, it's only words and no investment has been made.
However, with RL so bereft of any money and the POSSIBILITY of Koucash coming back, the powers that be will do everything possible to keep a big fish on the hook. |

Fair enough, but I did feel you were being let's say a little patronizing towards Leigh, so I hit back, apologies if I was wrong. |

Wow. That's taking pedantry to a whole new level. But yeah Mrs Koukash bid for Bradford, and of course that S on the end of Nigel's name makes it almost incomprehensible. |

| Quote Harry Stottle="Harry Stottle"On Radio Manchester today, the good Doc spoke of his desire to join his good friend Derek Beaumont at Leigh Centurions, he stated he has been approched by a number of both SL and Championship clubs but his heart is telling him to join up with his friend at Leigh, probably not a lof of people know but as families the Beaumont's and Koukash's take holidays together and their wives are very close friends, in summary the anchor men at the Radio Manchester Rugby League programme said expect an announcement very soon tk the effect that Dr Koukash has joined Leigh Centurions,.
That should shake things up a bit especially has a lot of people are calling for an increase in the Salery cap.'"
How's his plan going to having a club from Liverpool playing in League 1?
Is this the same Mr Koukash who cut the Salford Red Devils academy for financial reasons? |

To revive your skeptical post, you could have wished Dek & Doc all the best for potentially putting CASH into the game (which may happen yet).........but no. Never mind. Have a nice evening Mr. Skeppy.  |

I just asked a question. I at least expect a civil answer.
So the Liverpool plan has gone the same way as the Red Devils academy has it? |

It was a sarcastic question, which received a sarcastic reply. |
