The RFL should have asked this guy to buy London. If those players he signed for Salford would have signed for Broncos that would have been awesome for the game down south. But people would have still found a reason to whinge...

People are whinging because he came charging into the sport running his mouth off. He's pretty brash and likes to play to it "My name is Marwan Koukash"!
It's nothing to do with Salford as a club. Not for me personally anyway. When Salford have been in financial troubles I've only wanted to see them come out the other side. I'm glad they've got some cash in their pocket and I hope that a few more money men will arrive in the sport to take a shot at glory. My only reservation would be that if he doesn't get the success he craves that he will be off and potentially Salford will be in an even worse position than when he arrived, with the same income but much higher outgoings.
As for this idea that no one questions other teams re. the cap. Wigan have been questioned every year since they bought their way out of relegation. The vitriol meted out on Koukash and his band of merry Red Devils is nothing compared to what was dished out following Stuart Fielden's purchase.
Take the stick, laugh it off. That is what fans of top teams tend to have to do (not that I have ever experienced this).

No, i'm suggesting they're whinging because he bought Salford and not their club. The game needs characters - enough have already left the game. Personally, what he says doesn't concern me...

They're putting together a decent squad, have a decent ground and a large population around them. All that is now missing is engaging with the old fans and bringing in new ones to get up to 10k crowds.

Listened to it, if you believe him you are deluded, no chance will you be top in 2015 & no chance will you be favourites to finish top.

If you believed Huddersfield would finish top this yer you were deluded to right? Because I've had a look through the prediction tables an not one person has Hudds top by the end of the league rounds.
It depends who else we sign for this year and the. Who we bring in for the year after, nothing's impossible in sport with money and drive behind a club. |

If only the sport could attract another 7 or 8 Koucash's.

Why not believe him? Everything he said so far he's done. He obviously had people signed up for 2015 to making statements like that.

Huddersfield have been finishing at the top end of the table since 2009 though, I've no doubt if Koukash has his way you will be up there but not within 2 years. You could make the top 4 in the next couple of years but I don't think you'll finish top. |

Even Man City with all their millions and no restriction on wages took longer than 2 years. Probably too ambitious but there's nothing wrong with ambition. It may put too much pressure on his coach and players though. When you look at the players signed an their ages I'd expect Salford to struggle to get a full strength side out on too many occasions in the next year or 2.

well when you think about it, him buying the Broncos would've been a good marketing angle |
