| I have to agree with him.
A lot of questions need to be asked. Attendances are going down further, particularly in the challenge cup. The profile of the game is at an all time low, you have to scour the press for any RL related news.
The marketing and promotion appears to be a complete shambles; the recent delayed launch of the 4 nations is a classic example.
Some do not like Koucash, he can be brash and outspoken, but he his putting his money where is mouth is. He seems very good with fans of all clubs and will pose for any photo etc.
I wonder where Salford would be without him, I wish he had invested millions into my club.
We do seem to be a failing sport, not only with dwindling attendances, but in the amateur game as well. Sport England are continually lowering grant payments due to the increasing lower levels of participation.
As I said, questions need to be asked. Nigel Wood earns a quarter of a million pounds per year. I have no problem with that, but where is the evidence the game is going forward and his salary is justified.

| Surely when it comes to a vote of no confidence in the Board of the governing body then all 30+ members should have a say on a one club one vote basis. I know that SL clubs have more say over structures and funding etc but in this incidence surely it has to involve all RFL member clubs.

| There are way more than 30 rl clubs. I always enjoy seeing the hypocrisy of lower league clubs fans who are always in a tizzy when their clubs voices aren't put front and centre by the big boys but then forget that most of the game actually exists outside their tiny fiefdom.
Why would you expect us to completely ignore the RFLs structure to exaggerate the voice of a minority of clubs in the middle.

| well koukash got the marquee rule he wanted but failed to use this?
hope this latest attempt is more well thought through...
though he does have valid points, such as the super league becoming a feeder comp.
but im afraid we dont have enough money men to sustain a bigger salary cap for the majority of teams

| Will be interesting to see who's got the stomach for the fight. I imagine a lot of the owners are not happy with the RFL but I suppose it comes down to what the alternative is. If it was a PDC type breakaway then it will need a good business head to carry it out and clubs being prepared (and financially viable) enough to tough it out for a year or two. Reckon it'll come to nought but maybe will cause a ripple or two.

I love how Mr Superior gets a cob on when a fan of a 'lower league club' posts something. There are between 30 and 40 FULL members of the RFL and they are who this vote is about. The RFL, The Governing Body. It doesn't matter what league you are in when it comes to a vote concerning the makeup of the RFL board. Smokey you are still funny after all these years, but not funny haha sadly.

| Is this another ploy to bump up Salfords profile? Surely this kind of innuendo and name calling is going about things in a most unprofessional manner. Which is ironic given Koukash is calling the RFL. He's like a kid having a tantrum after he's been grounded for being naughty. He may well have a (several) point, but I think he'd be taken a lot more seriously if he went about things in a different way.
Salford seem to think that there's this massive conspiracy against the club, there's even a Salford fan making libellous statements about backhanded payments to fix matches on their board.

| Maybe he'll get his way and the real power behind the throne will step out of the shadows to run the RFL; enter Gary Hetherington, the King of the North - cue much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Changing goalposts aside we have a structure which divides power between the different areas of the game. There is no need to change that, especially in the way you propose which would serve no purpose other than exaggerating the voice of a minority of clubs in the middle.
