Quote: TheButcher "Says in today's misspelled MEN article that the Dr has brought in Ed Farish, once Chief Finance Officer for the NRL and Graham Lowe. Makes me wonder what role Lowe is playing or will play.'" Not sure if you have seen League Express but the quote from Blake Solly to 'MEN Sport' in the Barker piece is lifted word for word from there. I did some googling about Andrew Chalmers the other day and he apparently brought Lowe in at the NZRL as Director of Football so presumably he is behind this move. www.sportsfreak.co.nz/wp/?p=606 - article here.

Not the most positive of articles. I'll reserve judgement until I see what happens for us, after all, he'd have to do a particularly poor job to do worse than our current selection.

Agreed - just putting it out there for people to read.

It seems both Farish and Chalmers are associates of Wood at the RFL and therefore possibly not the choice of Dr Koukash;also PV knows Graham Lowe - rlSourcerl

Martyn Sadler has tweeted that the deal is 80/20 and further discussion taking place today.

If this comes off it is a major coup for Salford and I can see you going in the direction that Warrington have since they got took over. 3-5 years, with the right squad, right coaching staff and right owners and board and there's no telling how successful Salford could be.

Having played for Salford Academy once upon a time I do have a soft spot for Salford and as such I hope this comes off.

According to Radio Manchester, Dr Koukash is hoping to be at the friendly tomorrow night.

Let's hope it goes ahead.

Also hope the stadium management ensure the microphone is working.

...otherwise the SMC will probably turn him away !

Radio Manchester are reporting that he's in negotiation with Salford City Council and Peel Holdings to buy the club [iand the stadium[/i, as if he's going for them both together.

Could just be sloppy journalism, or it could be that things have moved on from the 'buying the club and negotiating an improved rental deal' stage.

Think the MEN also reported this. Could end up with our own ground after all...

I seem to like this guy more each passing day. 4.55029296875:5
