That was a fine team and played some excellent rugby.

We still say the same about Huddersfield - they won't ever win super league.

What you fail to mention is that whilst SJM funded your revival your club stuck with Cullen, once they finally saw the light and brought in Smith success came pretty quickly.

I asked oce before but no one answered - where does the Dr's money derive from?

to be fair he is a self made man. Claimed asylum in the uk with his family during the up rest in Kuwait i believe. Studied his ass off got his PHD opened up a business consultancy company grew that whilst still being a Professor in a university, obviously other ventures during the mean time.

yes Salford could win Super League in 5-10 years IF Koukash has the patience to stay the course and they recruit wisely. Cannot see it myself. I think Clarke is simply increasing the pressure of expectation on poor old Nobby and raising Koukash's hopes unrealistically...but time will tell...this years target should be top 6 and then push on from there.

Fantastic

That's a cool story bro...has Dr Marwan given any targets, KPI's regarding what he expects fans wise to bankroll this "redvolution"? I ask because even if he doubles last years average attendances, he will still need to fork out around 750-800k a year to cover the shortfall. A couple of years of that, even with a couple of play-off games (but I very much doubt a home one) will soon focus his mind...and his wallet.
Don't get me wrong, a few more like him in the game would be brilliant, but Rome wasn't built in a day (but it did burn down that quickly)

Salford will not win SL within 5 years. That's fantasy land. Look how long it's taken Warrington and Huddersfield to make the jump from mid to top of the table and neither have won it yet.
They should be aiming to become a regular top 6 team in 5 years. Whilst Salford have lots of money now they can still only spend the salary cap, the same as at least 6 or 7 other teams. Whilst spending off the field on training facilities/staff etc is vital and will make a difference, again 5 or 6 other clubs are doing the same. And those 5 or 6 clubs have the added benefit of recent success, bigger crowds, and better youth players.
Some Salford fans are massively overestimating the strength of their current squad and massively underestimating the difficulty of breaking into the top group of clubs.

its sport , wierd things happen like denmark and greece winning the european championships , don`t forget wigan have gone from a side that were almost relegated 6 or 7 years ago to a side that have won 1 or 2 honours in the timescale little salford wont win a thing

But Paul Cullen built most of the team that eventually broke through under Smith. I'm very happy with Warrington's record since 2009 but the fact remains that we still haven't won SL. Maybe we had some bad luck with injuries in last year's final but that just proves how damn difficult it is to become champions.
