Good points well made by BMcD. But whilst Mahwan Quickcash is a high profile and very outspoken character you cannot help but think that RL needs someone to stick their finger in the pot and swirl it around abit. And Mr Quickcash may be doing the game a favour.
Personally I think marquee players is not the solution nor is unlimited salary for staff and players but RL is so far behind other TV based sports that it needs characters.
Perhaps a season or two in the championship is what Salford need. Looks at the Dwarfs it was the making of them IMHO after the fiasco of Maurice keeping them promoted by altering the rules each year.

The memories. Our Maurice and his seedy dealings! Lest we forget!!

He won't come clean over Harris until after he's certain that his courtship of Brian McDermott as replacement coach has paid off.

Jack Fulton and Steve O'Connor. You can't remember their names because they're not publicity-hungry maniacs. They're also probably wealthier than Koukash.

Thought the MEN column was quite restrained by his standards though, and puts a line under it. It had probably been through quite a few revisions before it got to press...

Yep. They just get on with running or overseeing the running of their respective clubs.


I think it was restrained in terms of having a go at McDermott, probably because McDermott is well respected in the game, but it still turns virtually the whole article into the Marwan Koukash show, yet again, rather than the Salford Red Devils.

The majority of that article should be given over to Salford issues, not Marwan issues, with a mention of the McDermott comments if he wanted.

Not to mention the fact it's not really an article but a random collection of almost 1 line sentences.

That seems to be something of a house style on the MEN when it comes to RL stuff. It looks incredibly clunky and amateurish with very little flow to it and makes the reader work hard to stick with it and get to the end of the article (which is where a chunk of the advertising sits on most sites).

And now Theo Fages has quit the club after a breach of contract by the club towards him.

As per the club and Doctor are saying they've done nothing wrong and refuse Fages resignation. Suppose it's all a coincidence and false these contract disputes the club is experiencing.
