| Quote ="Bull Mania"Like others, i'm in two minds, but i'm more in favour for Koukash than against. My reasons are:
1. I personally think he's learnt from his antics when he first came to the sport. Sacking coaches at will, saying he'll win SL within 12 months, the tweeting, his war with the RFL etc. Yes he still does this every now and again, but is much more restrained (apart from the MPG antics) At the end of the day, we're now used to spelling errors in virtually all the clubs tweets, so i don't think Koukash tweeting war on the RFL will annoy us too much
2. Cash. Previous posters have mentioned stability, but how long will that last on current funding? This year we'll get central funding of £75k. If we have the perfect season, the maximum we'll get next year is £150k. We need someone to plug the gap. Yet again next season in SL, we'll see Bradford academy products, who we took time to develop and nurture, winning games for other clubs. Trueman, Bentley, Scott, Brown, Hooley. I could go on. The reason we lost all those players was off-field management. If we paid our bills, those players would still be with us and we'd have a nucleus of a HG team, and a damn talented one at that. If Koukash pays the bills, John Bastian will work his magic with the academy and we will actually for once, enjoy the fruits of our/his labour.
A Chalmers/Koukash double act could work wonders. Chalmers seems very passionate about our academy reserves.'"
Yep. It’s all very well talking about building back up slowly but if SL is the goal then at some point it will take a cash injection from somewhere to make that step up. Otherwise the talented young lads will continue to move on quicker than we can build a side capable of promotion. |

Is Koukash as wealthy as is made out? Salford's £8m debt suggests otherwise.

Yes he is, however, I'd say this Dual Reg would signal Koukash is unlikely given his recent forthright views on Rowley on twitter |

I doubt he actually is as he never appears in The Times' 'Rich List' which starts with those with a fortune of around £120million. And, as Bullseye's pointed out. Salford's debts appear to have more than doubled (in fact almost trebled) since he took over. |

Salford are still operational though, so all the "debts" are just numbers on a piece of paper.

Salford (2013) which operated last season has 8m debts, but now no club, the new Salford holding company playing this season following the transfer of ownership from kousach has zero debts but a superleague club. Quick shuffle of the deck and a debt free super league club, nice work I'd suggest, but I really don't know how all that works, the 8m can't have just vanished, presumably koucash is still covering that on behalf of the old holding company?
Also, I don't think we'll be seeing koucash taking over odsal. |

If this comes off, then we should also bring Omar back, so that we can call the new owners ChaKash Khan
