A shame he’s given up. Also a shame he acted so ridiculously during most of his time in charge of Salford. Unfortunately his first few disastrous years at Salford took their toll and couldn’t really be recovered from.

Order is restored!

A couple of teams can go back to running the RFL to suit their plans and goals without challenge.

Order is restored and a small northern sport will continue to fade and die while some (very) fat cats wring every penny they can from the dying carcass.

I agree with you on sport being a money drain, not just RL. With odd exceptions you can minimise the losses with good and prudent management. Still its sad that Koukash has gone, there are only so many people with cash to burn that love the limelight and ego boost owning a pro sports team brings. I am still disappointed that RL can't attract more investors though, compared to a lower division football club the costs would be less and the potential audience as big or better. Also better would be the chance of competing for a major trophy and the chance to be a local hero to the team's area.

Agreed - despite being on his best behaviour this season, his conduct as an owner has been, for the most part, cringeworthy and hasn't added anything to RL other than cash; which appears to have left the good people of Salford completely unmoved.

Whats that they say about being temporary and leaving a club in a better state than they found it?

I wouldn't have thought thats the case here. GRanted its not all his fault.
