I'm reading and hearing that Koukash is contemplating whether or not to keep Sale at the stadium. Would it be a good thing If they go or would it be better if they stay what are people's thoughts?

If they are putting money in our coffers then let them stay. I'd hope to get a bit more of our own stamp on the stadium though.

Don't see any logic in him wanting rid of Sale as it's good regular income which in the main is during the RL off season.

I'd be interested to know what his thoughts on the mooted 3rd team playing there would be, the only issue I would have with that would be any potential damage caused to the playing surface from over use.

Yes but wouldn't he see a rugby union club as our rivals? Trying to attract their own fans from the area? Man united reserves would pay the same rent and they'd not have any influence on the regular fan deciding whether rugby league or union is the one for them?

Plus would sale now have to pay the full 700000 a year rent like we should of done last year before the ra rar's come aboard.

I do think that the decision to sell naming rights for the stadium to be controlled by Sale will come very much under the microscope. You'd think with his business contacts and the more media savvy (hopefully) regime in charge that there is a quite large source of income to be made right there for Peel and the club.

Would welcome the money from Sale as our tenants, however I am always wary of the threat RU can pose and Steve Diamond is not to be trusted.

If they get relegated as seems likely can they afford to pay the rent? Do they still own Edgely Park?

In some ways I'd like to see Swinton move in. I know they don't offer a lot of revenue but I think it is wrong that they play outside the City which they are part of and they have been friends in hard times!!!

It is a real poser on many levels!

I suppose we will get half the car parking/food and drink sales as well as half of Sale,s rent. A good earner
But what if Sale buy out Peel,s half ?

Sale have a lease for goodness sake,you can't just 'get rid of them'.

Some of you would do better to support your own Club,rather than being obcessed with Sale.

Their supporters have actually been very supportive of the new owners.Frankly,their message board is a good more intelligent than your own one.

Don't come on here, then. Simple.

That fairly accurately sums up your intelligence,simple.

Maybe Dr Koukash has a masterplan. Sale allegedly millions in the red get relegated and lose further millions in TV revenue. Sale go bust he buys them from the receiver and changes the name to Salford Reds RU and invests in a team to get them back in the Aviva.

I see very little negativity on this thread with regards Sale. It's just a discussion. Pettiness such as this does not lend a great deal of credence to your previous argument.

Sorry if I'm being daft, but could someone tell me how we know he's bought half of the stadium. I feel I've missed something. Cheers

It's been reported in a few places that he's bought the city's share of the stadium. I guess today's press conference will tell us whether it's true or not.
