more chance of salford winning silverware than that happening me thinks

I can imagine Salford fans sat there pulling their hair out, banging their computers, screaming into their pillows etc when they see what this guy is doing to their club...especially as he promised them the (RL) world and they were all genuinely and understandably very giddy about becoming the Man City of Rugby League, the thought of the world's best players winning countless trophies for them etc, i can hear the cries of " Marwan...nooooo, it wasn't meant to be like this, it was supposed to be good !!" echoing across the pennines.
I do feel sorry for the geniune decent fans who did and still have kept hold of reality and didn't go round mouthing off, unfortunately a lot of them failed to wait and see what was happening before spouting off about jealousy/ hatred/envy etc etc....As an outsider looking in he seems to have done more damage in 3 years to that club than good. Yes he has got the media, other fans, the RFL talking about Salford RLFC but it's mainly been bad stuff.
A shame really cos i always enjoyed going to the Willows, never had a problem with the Salford fans but i can't help raising a little smile when i think of what the blind followers of the rich doctor used to tell us was going to happen to them and how every club will be left in a trail of smoke as the Doctor and Salford blitzed British and World Rugby league.....

Give me a Ken Davy over a Koukash any day ...Ken Davy kept his promised to the fans of his club !!!

1 hubcap YEH!!!!!!

That MEN column is quite bizarre - Its like the ramblings of a drunken megalomaniac.

Personally, I'm not quite sure what to make of it all.... For the Salford club and its fans, you have to hope that Koukash can back up his bold words and his assertions that things are just doing fine.

However, all this fall out with players claiming unpaid wages and other players looking for a way out, does seem to suggest that there is something bubbling away that could explode very soon.

Whatever happens, I just wish Koukash would do what he should have done a long time ago and appoint himself a decent club spokesman, who can protect him from his over enthusiastic ego.

I'm no psychologist but in the MEN column i'm sure the fact he uses the words I/me over 25 times says something about his personality.

They are also in the mire with their kit suppliers - they haven't been paid: www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ ... ar_twitter What's happening at Salford? It must be easy to be a millionaire if you don't pay anyone.

Eh ?

i think he's sarcastically insinuating that we haven't won as many trophies as rich clubs attracting twice the support we have

Taken from the Salford board - viewtopic.php?f=20&t=584397 He will probably have a strong case against the newspapers if they don't have any substantial evidence to back up what they've reported. Saying that, if he intends to sue everyone who has said a bad word about Salford, I don't think he could anything further to alienate him and Salford from the rest of the sport. Wouldn't imagine the RFL and the other clubs being happy about this as well. All in all, I reckon it could have the potential to be one of the biggest backfires in history. Only if it's true of course. The OP may be stirring it

Well Marwan has certainly got me intrigued as to what will be said on Tuesday, but would he really call a press conference, invite supporters to come along to watch and even try to live stream it, if all he was doing was starting legal proceedings against someone?

That seems completely insane to me. So yeah, probably spot on I suppose

I think i'm going to start watching Swinton instead. It's like a ing circus.

Maybe he has now invited the fans because he has banned all the journalists

A long time Salford supporting work colleague of mine has started doing just that- he says he's fed up with the circus that the club has turned into.

Salford fans have thick skins: a short survey of our history will show so many downs and twists that make us dizzy. For example, the two priods we were dominant (and I think we were very good but not dominant in the '70's) were ended by actions by one Kaiser and later by one A Hitler.

We are watching and wondering. It is certainly an unusual way of relaxing being a Salford fan.

Never worked for me! As far as the 'good' Doctor suing the media, I'd imagine that the MEN articles at least would be cleared by their legal people before publication. I think that he's trying to use the threat of legal action to stop any criticism of his running of the club in the media (doesn't seem to be working, does it?).
