Insane teacher be there reminded of the rhyme.

I feel we are better placed for any business links the good doctor wishes to develop.
But you must ask
Wales side (two or one club?)
Wakefield
Castleford
Bradford
Salford
Widnes
surely RL must redevelop their business plans

I think Widnes,have for a long time,known that Mr.O'Connor wanted themn to be self-sufficient.I also think the RFL have been strong on memberships,particularly where clubs have experienced financial woes rleven before Widnes played in Super Leaguerl and emphasised recently by a friend of certain people at our club rlreported hererl
Other clubs have followed that example rlWakefieldrl
and recently rlCastlefordrl
Seems 5,000 is the target - so SCR have some work to do !
According to tweets another meeting is planned for this pm so Widnes may be too late.Not much evidence that Dr Koukash vacillates once his mind is made up - could be the finishing line is in sight.
Will you be heading to Barton,PYB ? |

I'm back on board. I'm sincerely hoping the takeover completes before the Wigan friendly, I'm even contemplating buying a season ticket if they go on sale prior this takeover happens. |

So if it comes off we potentially get a half decent team and a racecourse? Nice one

How Koukash will get planning permission for a racecourse in Salford because he may own Salford is a strange one for me. Peel have been kicking the idea around for years and are well and truly in bed with the council but there has been no movement whatsoever on the racecourse front.
If it does, by some miracle, enable a racecourse to be built in Salford it's even better news for the City. A potentially strong Super a league side and new state of the racecourse to go along with MediaCity would really put us on the map.

I don't buy into this Buy Salford to get pally with Peel & the Council for a Racecourse .
However, Dr Koukash mixes in circles with the likes of the Reuben Bros, Billionaire owners of Northern Racing who run 11 racecourses, rlhttps://www.reubenfoundation.com/ar_reubens_join_ranks.htmlrl
They acquired Arena Leisure last year which now takes their total up to 17 racecourses.
So would Peel be interested in closer links with the Ruebens to back their bid to build a all weather Flat course on the old Bridgewater Estate , you bet. rlhttps://www.reubenbrothers.com/NorthernRacing.aspxrl |

So you all feel that the honourable Dr woke up one day on his holiday and thought i know i'll go and buy myself a rugby league club and looked around to find one riddled in debt and up for sale.
Come on, wake up and smell the coffee.......it may not happen immediatley but in time the real deal will come to light and i'd hedge my bets on it involving horses and race tracks.
As it happens, it's great news for salford and good luck to you.

The Dr.'s possible involvement sounds fantastic.All the right noises being made.Lets hopebit all comes off including his ambitions.One thing did surprise me( despite his obvious connection)is that he did his press through a St Helens paper.

Back the bid - not back it until the going gets tough. WTID:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40663.png |

Although it is very positive news and I hope Salford do come through this, it's very easy to get carried away with comments like that.
Ste o'connor saved our great club in 2007. He's invested £2-£3million of his own money. However he has come out with comments such as "were not coming to superleague to make up the numbers" and "we are coming to dominate".
We do have a steady side and we are playing in the Uk's highest league which is the main thing but I think it's been a little more difficult than first imagined. A business plan went in based on average attendance figures, like most clubs do. When we didn't meet those figures he's been covering losses year upon year and rumours are he may want out, don't think they're true.
I'm glad somebody has come in to potentially save Salford, I just think it will take years upon years to achieve success. Like ourselves and Bradford
