The Dr had about a week in mid January to negociate the takeover of the Club , Avoid a Winding up Petition & Hire a Chief Exec.
The Tansfer embargo was only lifted a week before the season started , the Kit arrived 2 days before the 1st Home game against Wigan .
Farish has got us up & running but long-term he obviously felt a new appointment was neccessary .
Since then he's worked tirelessly to plan for a successful future & to raise the profile of the Club at both Local & National Level .
He's very candid & quotable which has endeared him to some & annoyed just as many others.

The previous owner hung onto players & backroom staff to the detriment of the club at times, you cannot say that of this guy. he's not afraid to make ' big decisions '
I know the guy he has brought in to replace & it's a left-field appointment that may surprise afew .
I'm certain it won't be the last .

Fixed for accuracy.

Excellent! Another thread about Dr Koukash to join the one on here a couple of weeks ago, the one on TotalRL, a bit of moaning in the Rangi Chase thread on the Castleford forum, six pages of impotent rage on the Warrington forum.....I'm sure there's more but, given people's propensity to spell his name in some variation that includes 'cash' and 'cow' and to keep using it like they've hit on some previously undiscovered seam of gold in Barry Cryer's gag-mine, it's difficult to search for them.

I appreciate some people would prefer he went about his business in the time honoured Rugby League manner ("[iPsst! We've signed someone. Pass it on"[/i), because it allows them to complain about how invisible we are in the media, but, as he says, he doesn't work that way. Instead, we're now getting more column inches than Ron Jeremy, and people can't stop talking about us on internet forums, even if it's only to complain about how people are talking about us on internet forums (a kind of paradoxical circularity that I quite like: thanks Tigerade).

So, muchos gracias to everyone on here who has helped keep us in the spotlight. We couldn't have done it without you.

Love this quote. "He will be replaced by someone with no rugby background" - As if thats a gamebreaker.


Winds up with fans of teams like Wakey & Salford taking the moral high ground about other teams finances, especially when certain other teams have never actually gone belly up compared to their particular teams.

As for the Dr, I really don't care, Salford are irrelevant to me but I'd happily wager that Salford will not be top 4 next year, unless they field 14 players week in week out.

He's not gonna keep bankrolling you lot on gates of 2K, sick of hearing his voice/reading quotes.
When it comes to RL, he is clueless. Publicity stunts, standing with fans, signing Tomkins/Morley, we won't get thrashed again, I will break the salary cap, we will be world champions in 2 years, signing Usain Bolt...etc
Listen mate just STFU and get on with it...or Pi55 off back to horseracing.

Well said budgiezilla

Wow didn't realise there was so much hatred towards this guy, I started the thread to see what people think. I think he is good for the game as long as it lasts as any publicity is good. People in Manchester might actually get hear about Salford and make the effort, you never know.

I love it, this hatred is sensational.

Can you let us know when Salford went 'belly up' please as I must have missed it? Also when have any Salford fans taken the high moral ground about any other club's finances?

Salford are that irrelevant to you, you are on a thread about Salford offering to make bets about where Salford will finish next season.

Struggling to understand the hatred towards this guy. If I was a Salford fan I would be loving this.
As a Hull FC fan, I think it is great for RL in general.

Has he actually spent any money yet or has it all been talk so far?
