Reports in the MEN suggest Andrew Chalmers is assisting Dr Marwan Koukash with the takeover. However, I wonder if his interest in Salford is more than just advisory? A little searching on Google shows he is Chairman and a major shareholder of Kiwi Forestry International, a company that employs 450 people. I would imagine the guy must be very wealthy in his own right. Could he also be looking to invest in the club? www.kiwiforestry.co.nz/about-us/our-team/

Obviously, he's been brought in to clear away the dead wood.

......and put some strong roots in place, as long as he can see the wood for trees, of course.

Different bloke?
Barking up the wrong tree?

Fir all I know he's coming in to spruce up the place 'cos we're all pining for success!

BF surging ahead with that one...

Any truth in the rumour that Brian Carney and two pals are applying to join the coaching setup, or was that just a misunderstanding over the advert 'tree fellers wanted'?

Am I right in thinking that this is the guy who used to be chairman of the NZRL. If so then perhaps Dr Koukash is looking for someone who knows what they are doing to head up the operation

You are correct but a google search reveals a fair amount of negative comments about the job he did at the NZRL.

He's green as grass this Chalmers fella. I heard he went to The Willows at first.

Negative comments from who? I suppose time will tell!

I heard your a complete idiot who tries to draw negatives from most things that happen at the club, like a lot of people on here who are going to be disappointed if/when Dr Kaukash takes over there will be a huge overhaul throughout the club from club shop staff to the players on the field, I can't see people getting so close to the club as they do now when the deal goes through as he'll run it properly and keep everything in house, not like wilkey who'd tell anyone Salford whole plan for the season if they met him in tesco while doing shopping. A lot of people won't like this but I feel the club will be unrecognisable when he gets his hands on it and i feel this is the best way!

RedLeague I'm not disagreeing with you. Read the full thread through and you'll realise its tongue in cheek regarding his forestry business.

Get with it man.

No one could ever be as bad as the last t0sser we had!

PYB - I got it, but I think you have a bit of ground to make up before you can branch out into humour

Ha Ha That olde Chestnut

Wish I was as poplar as yew Barton.

Phil you may be barking up the wrong tree



I heard he'd been brought in to carry out root & branch reform .
and i've heard he's part of NZ special branch...

Anyway he's a Lumberjack & he's OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day
