Hearing reports in the City that he is on the verge of buying 70% of Leeds from GFH.

Anyone else heard anything?
 
I know he was looking at a buying a championship club a while ago. I would love to have him running the gaff.

He is the owner of the Salford reds and a few horses isnt he?
 
BBC sport are reporting that Kuwaiti Businessman and Salford City Reds owner, Dr Marwan Koukash, is looking to buy a football club.

Kokash said -

“There is a club I’m looking at which hopefully we will be able to secure within the next month or two,”

“I’m not going to reveal which club it is but it will compliment my interest in racing and rugby.”

“Before I got involved in racing I was at the point where I nearly completed the purchase of a Championship side.

“I had quite a lot of success early on to the point where I put football aside and concentrated more on racing, and now I’m looking for a new challenge.”

“The particular club we’re looking at the remedy for it is there,” he added. “It was a huge club previously and it just needs that little bit of extra investment to take it to the next level.

“By bringing in the personnel that were previously associated with the club at its heyday and bringing people in who are genuine club supporters it will excite the fans.

“Once I get the football club I will definitely have my own TV channel which will cover my three sports; racing, rugby and football.”

Of course, there could be another club in Koukash’s mind, but you can’t help but wonder.

Didn't Salford Reds just have a couple of points deducted?, he obviously doesn't run a tight ship while in charge and Salford were in danger of going to the Wall not so long ago, he don't like to splash the cash this fella, still you are used to that after the Ken dictatorship.
