That's because Koukash as the successful businessman that he is, knows Swinton Lions will never become a sustainable club without their own ground in Swinton which can make them money through the associated revenue streams mentioned such as restaurants etc.

If Marwan wanted to make a quick buck, do you think he'd get involved? The answer is no, he'd probably just got and buy a few more horses. He wants to see Swinton succeed and he wants to see RL in Salford prosper.


Well if he thinks so much about RL and doesn't care for a quick buck, maybe he can pay Salfords large debt to the LSV stadium and while he's at it he can pay Swintons large debt to the LSV stadium seeing as he cares so much about Swinton

You really have got a bee in your bonnet regarding the debt both Salford and Swinton have racked up with LSV havent you? Just to calm you down a little, our (Salford) CVA was approved back in February this year which stated all previous creditors will receive any outstanding monies. So, to answer your question yes he can afford to pay Salford's debt and is doing so on a monthly basis.

I trust a similar scenario will unfold if/when he takes over Swinton.

Now take your bitter little self back over to the Leigh board and continue to defend the LSV for allowing two clubs to rack up a reasonable amount of debt within the space of 12 months of each other. It seems they havent learnt anything from the Salford situation. Give them some tips though, one months missed payment issue a warning letter, two months missed payment issue them with a notice informing the party they are in breach of contract and unless they make payment within 30 days they will no longer have use of the facilities. Alternatively, allow clubs to rack up thousand and thousands of pounds debt then complain when they're faced with administration.

The LSV needs tenants to pay the bills, a lot of which are fixed, so hence need to be flexible. However, there was never a hope that Swinton could afford to pay the bills from Day 1, with the fan base they have. At least the LSV are not looking for anyone else to bail them out of this mess, unlike Swinton. Don't get me wrong, I hope they survive and thrive but they need to cut their cloth. If that involves playing on a local park then so be it.

We're all allowed an opinion. Someone mentioned cutting the cloth accordingly. That includes the Londons and Bradfords and numerous others of the RL world.
