After watching the latest press conference, it would appear that if Dr Koulash does takeover the club he would not be throwing money at it. Anyway, he would be restricted by the salary cap.

As long as the club is run as a sound, sustainable business with quality staff in the right positions and has quality training facility with an infrastructure in place to nurture young talent, then that would be fantastic.

Whilst I agree with the majority of your post,i'm not sure about ownership of the stadium.
Why would this be a neccessity ?
Plenty of RL clubs dont own their grounds and certainly the likes of Wigan and Hull FC seem to be doing ok.
Surely, it's about negotiating a decent rental agreement ?

Btw, good luck for the coming season

I think the needing to own the stadium way if thinking us due to Salford's low crowds. Wigan and Hull are averaging 5 figure crowds. Salford aren't, and realistically aren't going to for a long time. They need othe revenue streams.

As Wellsy13 states, paying a rational service charge to use a stadium, when you already have a 10,000 + ave and a successful team may work .
With Salford , any momentum through squad building has evaporated , our ave crowd increased only slightly compared to the Willows due to away crowd curiosity last season , but all our income streams - bar- kiosks - dining - stand sponsorship etc went , we lost all our senior game breaking players bar Jodie Broughton, we even lost our cheerleaders !
It is going to take 2-3 years of sustained investment on & off the field & sorting out parking & access to the site before we can expect 5 figure crowds.
He wants the site contributing cash to the club 365 days a year

So P and R will cause huge financial problems for Sale?

Interesting

They have one of the most expensive squads in their premiership to finance , the move was orchestrated by ex Wigan PR Mick Hogan , gambling on an increase on their 7500-8000 crowds at Stockport and the huge increase in hospitality revenue. they negociated a far lower service charge and better percentages on kiosk - hospitality. but the move has bombed averaging 5-6K attendances , and facing the same flak from the fans over the difficulty in parking transport & access as Salford have , the drop in form puts them in very real danger of losing their premiership status & the large sponsorship package that goes with it.

Their owner has deep resources and had reportedly been bankrolling their shortfalls through the successful years .
Newcastle RU failed last season to Block the promotion of London Welsh on a ' Primacy of Tenure technicality ' in the Premiership rules. So Sale may not be guaranteed to survive if they end bottom of the pile. with Newcastle RU 12 points clear wiating to replace them as the Token Northern presence .

It's not that I'm a rah rah hater , but the prospect of a RL club on the rise and the RU on the retreat after all the posturing pre stadium move is a satisfying one .
