It's a reasonable question IMO

A few thoughts have crossed my mind. One: where has his interest come from? Via discussions with Fred Done? Maurice Lyndsay? Secondly: what is his main interest? I doubt he has been a closet Salford fan whilst living in Liverpool for the last 30 years. Would it be in property around the stadium? The oft-touted Manchester Racecourse?

Right now we are not really in any position to question his motives. If he is willing to put his money where his mouth is, I for one would welcome him and pray for a brighter future, knowing we can worry about potential consequences if it doesn't work out, further down the line - we can't be left in a worse position than 4 weeks away from oblivion. Can we...?

Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth. BUT---- If he is the interested party, then you have to wonder what his motives are !.I wonder if he knows anything at all about RL ?

His interest is obviously property and a link with Peel. There is so much to develop around the stadium lets hope he comes in and does a job on the area as well as the club.

It isn't like we have a great deal to chose from is it?

Now that Salford have extra time to get an investor,lets hope they pay former players before they go buying new ones. #justsayin

Patten just posted this on twitter.[ gone further and further down in my estimation of him ]

you can't blame him if he's owed money !

Hard to believe some of the ungracious comments. We are at deaths door and welcome the Doctor. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/20944797

Doesn't look like the sort of bloke to be messed with!

What is he a doctor of? Can he double up so we don't sign any more Edmondson's or Bailey's?

Some good news for Salford.

I can't see why buying Salford RLFC would help him get into the property development around the stadium. I may have mis-understood the move to the new stadium, but I thought Salford were now tenants, or do they still own some share in the stadium and the land???

He could just as easily buy shares in Peel holdings if he wants a foothold in them, so the SL club must be offering him something else than just a land development oppertunity?

Dr marwan koukash getting involved with rugby league!!

i know my horse racing and this guy is brilliant for horse racing, he has some cash to say the least and is one of the biggest owners in british horse racing, follow alot of his horses, had over 100 winners last year, loves chester

would be brilliant to have such a guy in rugby league, hes not daft and knows what hes doing aswell, hope it comes off would be brilliant for salford and rugby league to have him involved

He's a doctor of electrical engineering. He could double-up and replace the bulbs that were out last Sunday.

Fair play to the good Doctor for wanting to get involved in RL - he seems like a good sort and has been based in the area (Liverpool) for a number of years, that said I'd be slightly concerned that he'd have Jamie Spencer on the wing and Luke Patten riding one at Chester the same day

Hopefully this is the end of a sad period in the clubs history, the new ground should help with any takeover bid etc. too

Why are we discussing motives? Does it matter? If it gives the Club a great chance to turn itself around it's got to be a good thing.

TBH the amount of money required to run SCR will be peanuts to a guy like this.

I read a quote earlier that he's regularly attended Langtree Park.
