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?

Warrington fans are just amazing. Few of us know what Marwan is going to do next - probably not even the man himself - but Warrington fans have this uncanny ability to tap directly into his mind and know exactly what he's thinking.

No to both parts of that question.

Mrs Nocash.

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.

All the fords, fordy ford.

Cas' next.

They'll want the vote next.

Did the interview convince you it was her behind the bid?

Let's be honest if the Doc did increase his influence within RL circles would that be a bad thing for the game? The RFL aren't exactly covering themselves in glory with the way they are running things so maybe someone shaking things up at HQ is what is needed for the betterment of the sport in the UK.

You'd also think that on some level the Doc's increased (OK the Koukash family) interest/involvement in RL would draw in other investors, pretty sure when he bought the club he said he knew of others (possibly in the horse racing fraternity) who would be interested in investing.

I say good luck to him, it's his money if he wants to spend it I say we are fortunate he wants to do so in the game we all love.

I'd very much welcome his increased influence.
He's great news for our sport.
One family owning 2 teams in a 12 team competition is wrong at every level.

2015 Challenge Cup Semi Final Draw just out :-

Gloucester Old Gabrails v Salford Red Devils (Played at the Koukash Stadium Bradford)

Bradford Mandys v Swinton Laylas (Played at the AJ Bell Stadium)

Just wait until his daughter wants a club. She seems to be enjoying herself at Salford and also appears to have caught the bug. It cant be too long off her 18th now, beats a new car doesn’t it!

It is a simple plan. The Doc will transfer a lot of players from Salford to Bradford for minute transfer fees, and then dump Salford in the close season after Salford have been relegated.

Oh thats quite hilarious OV. Why is it that its always fans of Widnes, Hull KR or Cas?
