Ross seems to think that Koukash still wants to buy Bradford, thoughts?

Would Green sell? I certainly can't see them as partners. But I don't see much long term future for the Bulls as a full time club without a rich backer.

I take it you saw him with Derek in the Leigh dugout at the end. Thought that odd even though he was a guest of Dereks this afternoon.

He seems like he has calmed down a lot recently, I'd think he would have a better time with us regards to a fan base and past history.

Always on to a loser at Salford as the fans just don't seem interested not sure the reason but since the move from the willows the average attendance must hover around 2000 (not sure of the exact figure and tbh I can't be d looking).

Think if green could get his money back then he would leave happy and hopefully take ferris with him, get some rugby minds around koucash and if he left the team to the coaching staff he could be what we crave.

I think he has demonstrated even throwing money at players, and coaches doesn't necessarily get you success, and it would be hard to imagine him having the patience for years in the championship

Source?

Think he's learned from last year tbf, salfords team this year was full a younger players and no one gave them a chance but they surprised a few.

If he does pull the plug then I can't see Salford surviving.

It would make sense, Bradford are a BIG CLUB, where as Salford manage home fans around the 2K mark, despite him having assembled a decent squad for them....but If he wanted to sell his Salford ownership, who would want it ? Looks like he's stuck with them....

Today's T&A.

Wasn't there a Salford knights group at one point who looked to buy but koukash took over instead.

I'm undecided. If we were an SL team I'd want Green..he's an astute businessman and has actually done a brilliant job with the club. Lowes and Ferres had plenty of money to spend. Unfortuantely they utterly wasted it. They're the reason we're in this mess not Green. We've the right people running the academy and they're flourishing. Green kept the acadmies and the appointment of John Bastian was a masterstroke.

But we are now in the dire situation of playing in the championship shield and central funding of £150k. Green doesn't have the finances to make up the shortfall.

Koukash has calmed down a lot and has seemed to have taken more of a back seat. But he has the brass needed to pump into a club if they are to climb Everest and somehow get out of this divsion.

Sadly it looks like if you want someone to pump money into the club, we may have to accept them being a bit of a div.

Koukash was at Leigh because he's looking too put money in to Leigh is very strong rumour doing the rounds!

IMHO the best thing that [i*Both*[/i Bradford & Salford could do (apart from Bulls having a better squad/more £££) is to expedite vacating those stadiums ASAP.

Both Odsal (terrible stadium in disrepair & a poor viewing experience) & the AJ Bell (wrong place & in Salford by postcode but hated by their fans) seem to be dragging the clubs down, or at least contributing).

While I don't profess to have the definitive answer & from the outside looking in, Salford should look to build nearer to central Salford & ground share with either Swinton or FC United.

Bradford is a much more difficult proposition in that they don't have a Koukash. Odsal is a horror show *as was Hilton Park, though we loved the place & as was Knowsley Road*, surely a purpose built Stadium, capacity c14,000 - 15,000 near to central Bradford is the way forward ?
There will be large swathes of brownfield land that both sets of fans are aware of that could fit the bill.

Having said all of this, I don't think it would be a piece of cake by any means.
The first question being, are Bradford contractually bound to a let on their Stadia for example.

I just wonder what both Bradford & Salford fans views on this are & look forward to hearing them.
