O/T Interview with Salford owner Dr Koukash : Thu Mar 14, 2013 10:36 am  
Interesting view of where the game at SL level is heading here:-

http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ ... ll-1744399

A few good comments also from Kevin Ashcroft - “We have too many dull, stereotypical leaders who are afraid to make a decision – they are happy to sit around the boardroom table watching the world go by".

“This fellow is the real deal and he’s determined to succeed".

“It’s far better to have someone like Koukash in charge who has guts and bravado rather than an elderly man smoking a cigar who does not know what century we are in".

Remind you of anyone ?

"Castleford's biggest home crowd of the 1991-1992 season wasn't quite 12,000 while on average they'd sit around 6000 but the noise, the chanting and the singing just blows you away" - Tawera Nikau "Standing Tall"

"I can tell you the atmosphere was extraordinary at Wheldon Road on big days. The ground held around 15,000 people, every one of them close to the action on the field and the noise would be enough to send a rumble through the town" - Malcolm Reilly "Reilly - A Life in Rugby League"

Possibly, and the same could be said of some other club/s.

It's fine to come out with statements like that when money is no problem, the salary cap was brought in for a reason, and that was to protect the clubs from them selves, if the cap went up to round about £2m it would be the end for the smaller clubs, their is no way they could afford to spend it.

It would be back to the days of Wigan running away with every thing and the rest spending money they don't have to try to compete, and were would the players come from, would he also like the cap for over seas players removed so he can do what Halifax did, & build a team of over seas players

Some real insecure comments on here. Good luck to him and Salford I say, it's about time we had someone to shake up the big boys clique.
