Seems there's still some way to go before any deal is announced.According to League Express Koukash wants to buy the stadium but at less than the initial construction price .Also wants more income streams for the club from the stadium and no settlement on the inherited debt.

And just what is a "significant controlling stake" - the stake is either controlling or not !!

BUT regardless of whether Mr Barker has an O level in English or not, just how exciting is all this - think back to the doom and gloom just a very few weeks ago, could it be that being a Salford fan just got a whole lot better?

I think he mean he's got the majority share of the stadium meaning Kaukash now owns 65% and peel left with 35% which is a big deal. didn't the council spend/borrow in the region of 10 million towards the build of the stadium with peel contributing the rest?

& Sale as tenants?

Have you heard those figures or are you speculating? Didn't Salford CC originally hold a 51% stake? If so, taking that could be a "controlling stake".

I'd take anything published in the MEN guardedly , until the truth is out , alot of the story was a rehash of other peoples stories & last weeks press conference post Wigan Game.

Nobody knows!
There was liitle to add in this morning's LE ~It sounds like Dr Koukash wants to keep his ammo dry to maximise the publicity from the actual press day. Even Veivers was not letting on even when some have already been reportedly training with the squad. If you keep people guessing , including us they're more likely to pay attention.
