Quote Wirecutter="Wirecutter"You aren't on your own REDRUM. I've thought long and hard over this but I just can't get my head around it. If it's to just win another vote on the marquee signing rule it seems an expensive manouvour.
Is there a visionary on this forum who could possibly explain the potential benefits to the Koukash's of owning both Salford and Bradford?'"
There are many benefits to owning 2 clubs, or (proxy owning).
Some of which have been put on the VT in terms of the champ manager senario.
However, in terms of the practical day to day advantages they could not just switch players at will like on the computer game.
But it does give him a better strategic position. He now gets 2 votes on all matters SL.
That gives him a better position currently. But if he can save Bradford, he goes from having 1/14th to 1/6th of a say in how the game opperates. He will be far from the monopoly position, however if he can get a brother involved too then he keeps increasing his strategic base.
This is assuming all things remain equal. ie other owners don't follow suit.
Most owners have some tie to a club beyond that of owning them, they may have been fans etc.
Koukash was never a Salford or Bulls fan growing up, so he could have bought wakefield if they where on the market. It's his vision that he is buying more than the club itself.
