So when does he take over at Bradford?

I think it's a fantastic idea to hand over control of the club to the Salford fan, he must be over the moon!

It's a shame if Koukash leaves the sport completely, he's done a lot for both Salford and Super League (Marquee rule and salary cap increases were driven by him) but the people running our game seem to be happy with it regressing year on year.

I think its a shame, he has undoubtedly made mistakes due to being new to RL and has underestimated how much the years of lack of sucess have affected Salford's fanbase. Theyve had a much better season but it will probably take a good decade to get bigger crowds in and im not convinced that the stadium is in the right place.

Nore sure what the situation at Bradford is, but hopefully the RFL can keep Koucash involved in the game as I think he's learnt from his mistakes (buying in a whole new team of players doesn't work) and is the high profile character that could revive Bradford and its dormant fanbase.

If I was him I would just walk away. What's the point of wanting to invest millions into our game when you are aren't allowed to because it might upset the "never haves" like Wakefield and Leigh?

Really poor attempt at trolling even for a single cell creature like yourself

He bought the wrong club you can't say he hasn't tried but no matter what you do and still only 1400 turn up as they did against Hudds what's the point

More insightful comment from our Pseudo Royal

On a serious note, RL doesnt come out of this too well, again.
Koucash, for all of his faults (which were many) invested plenty of cash and personality into the sport, both of which are severely lacking in RL.
Let's hope he does pop up somewhere else.

For Salford, you have to worry.
Regardless of what the statement says, if they have to manage with matchday revenue plus some merchandising, their future looks perilous and the new "team" in charge certainly wont have the same depth to their pockets as the Dr.

He obviously can't stand the thought of m8s next year against Toulouse, London, Torronto and Cats/Leigh. Also running scared because Hull KR are back up after the events of last year. Tell him not to forget his fake cheque when he shuts tge door. Can't stand the bloke. He might have had some decent ideas but his personality and ego overshadowed them.

Salford have already dumped 7 players and without the money (as with many of us) next season might be a struggle now. Depends how it all pans out with finding new investment. Good luck to them.

I just don't think RL is ever going to be popular enough in that area for Salford to be a viable super league club.
I think there's probably enough there to be a decent, stable (probably part time) championship club though.

I think its been said that he bought the wrong club, on paper it was ideal, massive catchment area and new stadium but it just never took off except for those that already went.

Hopefully he does stay in the game as love him or hate him at least people feel something towards him, yes he's loud and brash but that will get column inches and this sport really needs that.

Koukash and Bradford would be an ideal fit.

Haven't more clubs gone bust since the introduction of the cap me personally I'd raise the cap by at least £500,000

a blow for salford and a blow for the game.

got us in the national media... ok not always for the best reasons but still, not many club owners can get the game being talked about.

rl needs money men like him in it, cant afford to be losing guys like him who want to push the sport up.

blow for salford too, they wont be spending as much as they did under koukash so wont get the players in return i dont think.

getting crowd of under 2k is very poor and i think koukash wanted to rebrand but it wasnt liked so prob felt like he wasnt being backed by the fans too.
