Didn't a teenage 'businessman' take over Aldershot in the early 1990s, only for the whole thing to unravel soon afterwards with the club ending up in liquidation?

Yeah think their current owners own a rugby club that has gone into liquidation and they were presuming I guess that this lad would be the saviour for their fortunes - EFL want more answers as of March and it's still not done despite him supposedly providing cash to help pay the wages etc - all a bit of a mess, got them dropping down to NL written all over it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, he hasn't his pledged undying loyalty to Barrow. I reckon he'd be off like a shot. I know I would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Marwan Koukash Very much in the and that brackets but Marwan Koukash has been declared bankrupt. I think with hindsight it's fair to say we dodged a bullet here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but he handed the rugby over to the supporters in a much better position than he inherited it, not disagreeing with the point you are making but we don't know what would have happened. Lemsagams would take some beating as they literally took us to the brink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the thing he could have done to make things even worse than they turned out would be to have spent big and left us with lots of unsustainable commitments, a la Chris Moore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sometimes had 4 or 5 horses running in the same race which doesn't exactly display the shrewd businessman persona some would suggest he had.

The shrewdest people in racing, the Coolmore gang, often have multiple runners - wouldn't read anything into that. They do that in big races because if one of them wins then the rewards can far outweigh the drawbacks of having others that don't. Koukash often did it in particular races that he really wanted to win, usually at Chester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the kind of class that Coolmore etc.. own they have to have several engaged as there are few alternatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are very few people if any who make money out of racing prize money, certainly in the UK. Koukash used to run multiple just because he targeted certain races and wanted to win them for his own reasons so he threw plenty of darts Edited May 11, 2023 by Dave_Og Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
