Hard to believe some of the ungracious comments. We are at deaths door and welcome the Doctor. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/20944797

Doesn't look like the sort of bloke to be messed with!

What is he a doctor of? Can he double up so we don't sign any more Edmondson's or Bailey's?

Some good news for Salford.

I can't see why buying Salford RLFC would help him get into the property development around the stadium. I may have mis-understood the move to the new stadium, but I thought Salford were now tenants, or do they still own some share in the stadium and the land???

He could just as easily buy shares in Peel holdings if he wants a foothold in them, so the SL club must be offering him something else than just a land development oppertunity?

This Koukash story is still pure speculation , but at this point I couldn't care less if he'd never seen a game before. Up until 2007 Koukash wasn't involved in Flat Racing now he's in the top 10 winning owners.
He's married to a St Helen's girl so RL shouldn't be that alien to him.

He's a doctor of electrical engineering. He could double-up and replace the bulbs that were out last Sunday.

Fair play to the good Doctor for wanting to get involved in RL - he seems like a good sort and has been based in the area (Liverpool) for a number of years, that said I'd be slightly concerned that he'd have Jamie Spencer on the wing and Luke Patten riding one at Chester the same day

Hopefully this is the end of a sad period in the clubs history, the new ground should help with any takeover bid etc. too

Why are we discussing motives? Does it matter? If it gives the Club a great chance to turn itself around it's got to be a good thing.

TBH the amount of money required to run SCR will be peanuts to a guy like this.

I read a quote earlier that he's regularly attended Langtree Park.
