It seems like a bizarre thing for the Doc to say. Hopefully he's just dabbling in a bit of reverse psychology. The financial implications of Koukash leaving Salford are a bit frightening.

Personally speaking, statements like this get me a bit nervous.

That doesn't say to me if we don't have success he will be off, It says if he thinks for one second he isn't the man to bring success then he will leave

I agree totally, says to me here is a man hell bent on success, doesn't strike me as the type preparing to fail more indicating his determination to succeed.

This is the bit that I find a tad worrying

“I feel for our fans,” he added. “Standing with them on the terraces at Warrington last Sunday, one came up to me and said ‘Marwan, it’s bad enough another team being so superior to us but I have to live with that all week before our next match.’

“So, we are not going to allow that again in the future.”

BUT, what is the timescale of "the future" - I hope he's being completely realistic about this season, and just how long it takes to bring in new players and build a side that can compete week in, week out!

It can be done, as someone said on the VT, Wigan went from 2nd division to World Club Champions in 6 years - but that was pre salary cap and still took SIX years - it's fine being ambitious and demanding the best - I just hope Dr K doesn't have his ambitions clouded by impatience.

I think the quote last week about this season being a celebration of our existence is a sign that he knows we will get tonked a couple or so more times this year.
I think this is where we are lucky we got Noble as he won't say to the Doc next year were going for a league, play off and cup treble - more he will look for solid improvement with the team making the top eight and being a solid hard to beat team rather than an all conquering behemoth taking the world by storm.

Think also Noble knows the folly of say going out and throwing pots of cash at a couple of show pony players who will disappear when the going gets tough. I bet a good majority of us would happily settle for Salford playing rugby in the Bradford style when he was coach and they were the team to beat.

Christ almighty - not what I wanted to hear first thing on a Monday! Seems to me like he's already thinking about walking.

Oh dear.

[iKEEP POSITIVE AT ALL TIMES...

IN THE THE DOCTOR I THINK WE HAVE A VERY HONEST MAN

'KEEP THE FAITH'

WE ARE IN BETTER SHAPE THESE DAYS THAN WE HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS..

COME ON THE SALFORD RED DEVILS IN 2014 ANY BEYOND.....[/i

I'm not worried at all, however, this'll get the Koukash Haters on the VT and Cas boards salivating, yet again, over our impending demise, all the while dressing it up as faux concern over him walking away and leaving us in a worse state than we were before (as if he could). Of course, has nothing to do with jealousy at all on their part, no, not at all.

Bring it on, I'm loving it!

I fail to see how it is an exclusive interview with 2 quotes and 1 question.
It seems to be wholly out of context.
It does give some ammunition to our new enemies - and Marshy - so hopefully it will shut them up until never-never time arrives.
As the Dr has a pulchritudinous wife,and daughters,the distaff side will keep him right and I shall take heart from a quote by another female - [iThere is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.[/i Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

I hope the supporters can do their bit tonight and we can manage to gain 2 points.
I don't understand the motive of the MEN,or the timing. Are they trying to jeopardise signings ?
I cannot see the recruitment of the new business development man leading to the Dr leaving anytime soon.

Do not panic !

Shut up, Al.

I hope you're right. I'm always the pessimist however (that’s what years of watching Salford does to you) I just don't see why he needs to mention leaving, must admit it’s got me slightly worried the fact he's obviously contemplated it!!!

Hopefully I'm reading far too much into it.
