That article is as about as credible as your inital question.

On the credibility theme, that's something Rangi Chase has zero of.

They haven't bought success. They still don't look like a team on paper that can consistently challenge the top clubs. What they have done is make significant improvements on what they currently have in a number of positions.

To be successful under the salary cap you probably will have to build up your supply of home-grown talent. But there's no reason at all to think that they're not doing that as well.

This recruitment is an exercise in bridging the gap from now until they can do something more sustainable I think. Good luck to them. They have good juniors, so some of the experienced players they've brought in will be good mentors to those kids too.

I only really question the Hock purchase. Is he someone who will contribute to a successful culture? Not so sure.

I've no idea if the Private Eye article is accurate or not. But then, nor do you.

At least it's a good money story, not only from Salford's point of view but also from a RL point of view. As people have said there needs to be sustainability in the long term planning but this should allow Salford to challenge fot the playoffs, which is an improvement on present.

Dr Koukash is based mainly in Dubai as is most of his business portfolio, this is why people cannot access his business accounts or find out his true wealth.

The same Dubai that almost collapsed in 2009 due to pretending it was richer than it really was?

Ha ha your Leeds no1 conspiracy theorist arnt you.

Thanks.

Where's the "conspiracy" in Fetlar's theory then?

Mainly the bit where Salford have a chairman who has no money what so ever even though his portfolio is mainly based in a country that supposedly skint too.

How is that a conspiracy?

Dubai's financial woes are hardly a secret. The gravy train has moved on to Abu Dhabi and Qatar now. To the extent that a lot of the big flagship building projects in Dubai are now in the hands of capitalists from other emirates.

I have no idea whether Dr Koukhash is minted or not, and I suspect he has plenty of his own cash banked outside his businesses, but a conspiracy tends to mean a group of people colluding to conceal the truth. None of that to see here.
