The problem with marwan he scares the poop out of the penny pinching chairmen who don't want to spend any money on there teams and are happy collecting there paychecks each year let's have another 10 marwans and there money in our game,let's have the best players in the world playing over here but you clowns like small time mentality

The owners have put small fortunes into their clubs. None of them receive paychecks from RL. Are you kidding? Try and check a few facts.

The suggestion that we need ten more clubs run like salford is the biggest joke yet.

1. What's wrong with the SKY deal and how has he been proven correct?
2. How has he been proven correct that a 1 up 1 down league would be better? Super 8s have been great and will only get better.
3. Well done on telling the truth to your club's fans for a change Marwan, the game needs more people like you etc..

And no he's not correct on many things, he's a an egotistical moron.

1. Was he? I think Ian Lenagan voted against it and it's only us keyboard warriors who reckon it was a bad deal.

Lenagan voted for it then changed his mind and said it was a "dreadful commercial decision" after the deal had already gone through, in a nutshell.

Re: Marwan K : Tue Sep 22, 2015 9:33 pm  

to be fair to Lenegan was given an hour to decide and told that if the deal wasn't taken there and then, it wouldn't be on the table any longer.

That deal being the one Sky approached the RFL with, and the RFL took nigh on £30m from.

Aside from not being bankrupt are Salford any better now, on or off the field, since he took over? Arguably they have become the laughing stock of pro RL with his outbursts without a lot of return it would seem.

Kevin Locke made scurrilous allegations about Marwan Koukash which necessitated a press conference to rebut.

He didn't make scurrilous allegations about Marwan Koukash at all - he brought a claim against his employer for unpaid wages or unlawful deduction, which he lost.

Calm down dear.

Always calm.
Dr Koukash can rest easy now.If he made one mistake it may have been the appointment of Brian Noble.

Some of the allegations made towards him during his short time in the sport would be that he signed 'mercenaries'.

It now appears that some of those players are heading to Leigh,so the allegations can be diverted.

Theo Fages is no longer involving himself in a tribunal and is leaving Salford.

It seems Dr Koukash has dealt with something of a player revolt more than adequately with a minimum of fuss and publicity,bar the need to defend his good name.

Oh,and without police involvement.

Dealing with the modern player does seem to be problematic.How are things at Wakefield?

You're absolutely right - there has been next to no fuss or publicity at Salford during MarwanK's tenure; he's the consummate professional.

The best thing to happen to Marwan K and Salford is Tim Sheens. There has been a noticeable difference in how MK has behaved in public since Sheens has been at Salford.

Serial whinger hires serial whinger to try and offset serial whinging. They are bound to work well together. If there is any serial whinging to be done, Koukash now won't need to get involved, Sheens can do it.
