K0ckr@sh is only interested in one thing......................K0ckr@sh. Fame for himself. As RL Fans we don't want it going back to the 1980s or worse, turning into Soccer. We aren't as Big as the NRL and until there's 12-24 K0ckr@sh's running about in the British Game, the Salary Cap stays as it is. Smaller clubs won't be able to survive, only big clubs and small clubs with Rich Owners.

I don’t buy that. Why wont smaller clubs survive? We’ve had franchising for the last however many years, that didn’t help smaller clubs like Salford and Wakefield from nearly going bankrupt, look at Bradford and London this year too. Whether there is a marquee allowance or not, badly run clubs will always face difficulty regardless. An increase of some description in salaries would attract bigger and better players to the competition, which in turn will generate more interest, which snowballs into bigger crowds, more sponsors, more revenue and so on.

Also, why would MK want fame for himself? He is already a multi-millionaire with a reported wealth of circa $900m. He was very well known in the racing circles before he bought Salford too. RL isn’t exactly the type of sport to propel you to fame either.

Can you imagine what debt he would leave Salford in if he went? Not only would he want his 'investment' back, but they would have to fund the players wages for the remaining contract time. You'd be able to hear that pop in space!

Why are people so obsessed with Koukash leaving and Salford failing? I remember people doing the same with Manchester City and Chelsea when they shook things up in the Premier League. Countless trophies and millions later, their 'foreign' owners are still there.

Its worth noting that the marquee exemption has been pushed by Leeds and Gary Hetherington for years.

Its also worth noting that one of the first things Gary Hetherington and Paul Caddick did at Leeds was spend a world record transfer fee on young Mr Harris.

I think you have some massive "Believe the K0ckr@sh Hype" tinted glasses on. You think he will be your almighty Saviour but he won't.

And if you have to ask why smaller clubs couldn't compete or survive against clubs with more money than them, then I give up.

i`ll have a try at decoding this , i take it you meant saviour ? well yeah he`s exactly that he did save us , Salford would have died without him .

Oh look a member of the t0ssp0t Spelling Police. Don't you look good. Oh wait....

You'll be there again before you know it

I`m not knocking your spelling , you spelt survivor correctly , well edited by the way .

Surely this is a race to the bottom,lowest common denominator stuff.
Let's preserve our little sport and accept our place in the natural order of things ??
Cast off the shackles,give it a go,let's see where the adventure can take us.

No, I just have the complete opposite opinion than you. As pointed out, he already is our saviour. Without him we would be no more, now were signing players like Kevin Locke.

I see you can't back-up your theory that smaller clubs would go bust. Don't they already have less money than the bigger clubs?

Really? I must have missed that. Do you have a cite or two?



Why?

I wish I'd have come on earlier to this thread. My Koukash Bingo card was full by the end of the first page!

I always had a lot of respect for Leeds fans but it seems your board has been infiltrated by the bell-end brigade. Hopefully it's just a small minority being loud and stupid.

By the way, 'Witty' puns on MK's name is about as old hat as the Hethrington's sex life. Do people seriously believe that they are the first numnut to come up with it?

Listen Pat, if you don't like our board, what we say or how loud we are, then bore off. And just because people have a different opinion to your tinted outlook on your lover MK, doesn't make a person stupid. And someone thought of K0ckr@sh before me. But it wouldn't take much thought now, would it?

Oof! Lots of ammo here for Salford fans come Friday night's inevitable loss
