| Aside from not being bankrupt are Salford any better now, on or off the field, since he took over? Arguably they have become the laughing stock of pro RL with his outbursts without a lot of return it would seem.

He didn't make scurrilous allegations about Marwan Koukash at all - he brought a claim against his employer for unpaid wages or unlawful deduction, which he lost.
Calm down dear.

Always calm.
Dr Koukash can rest easy now.If he made one mistake it may have been the appointment of Brian Noble.
Some of the allegations made towards him during his short time in the sport would be that he signed 'mercenaries'.
It now appears that some of those players are heading to Leigh,so the allegations can be diverted.
Theo Fages is no longer involving himself in a tribunal and is leaving Salford.
It seems Dr Koukash has dealt with something of a player revolt more than adequately with a minimum of fuss and publicity,bar the need to defend his good name.
Oh,and without police involvement.
Dealing with the modern player does seem to be problematic.How are things at Wakefield?

You're absolutely right - there has been next to no fuss or publicity at Salford during MarwanK's tenure; he's the consummate professional.

Serial whinger hires serial whinger to try and offset serial whinging. They are bound to work well together. If there is any serial whinging to be done, Koukash now won't need to get involved, Sheens can do it.

The suggestion that Salford 'may' have made one mistake is hilarious.
- Umpteen players and coaches wanting to leave before their contracts have ended.
- A chairman using inappropriate language at a press conference & on social media.
- Plenty of CCJs
- Plenty of visits from the bailiffs
- Empty headed promises of short term success.
running a professional sport club does seem problematic for Salford.

I do that with you so as not to get dragged in to a 30 page quote-a-bore-off-a-move-the-goal-posts-when-losing-a-thon.
Still, if you really do want to debate the merits of our record breaking Sky TV deal & the recently announced, continued coverage of the challenge cup & international games on the BBC -vs- signing with Netflix, Eurosport, BT or Google TV deal then i'm more than happy to oblige. Only one of us will come out of that one looking like we're lacking any intellect and as usual when "debating" with you, that won't be me.

Yet there they are finishing higher in the Qualifiers than Widnes who have had the low profile - Stobart connected owner - and the respected Salford-born coach since before they were given their Super League position courtesy of Licensing;indeed the Widnes club epitomizes all that is perfect with the Licensing system.
For all the rumours of non-payment to players there are more players staying than wanting to go;apparently.
With all the debts to service,and wantaway players to contend with,having the local council not renege on agreements,Dr K appears to have been kept slightly busy and the CEO seems to have missed some bills to pay.
Unorthodox,certainly,but Dr K remains,and the club remains,despite what I believe are termed 'haters'.
Perhaps the critics could try running a professional rugby league club and report back on their findings?
I do suspect that Dr K has found a vast difference between those involved in racing and those involved in rugby league - and between those who do and those who comment on it.

I see. When MK said Salford would finish top 4 / top 6 he really meant to say that three years in the aim was actually to finish above Widnes  Wow, why didn't he say so
The following remain so?:
- Umpteen players and coaches wanting to leave before their contracts have ended.
- A chairman using inappropriate language at a press conference & on social media.
- Plenty of CCJs
- Plenty of visits from the bailiffs
- Empty headed promises of short term success.
Our sport is far from perfect but it deserves much better than this.

Try and at least introduce some wit in to your ad hominems. If your going to be a bitch, at least be one of the acerbic funny ones.
