Nail on head.

I'd implore anyone who feels this way to join Forever Reds and get involved. Even if you have issues with the trust, it is a legal entity, a registered company, so the likelihood of any shenanigans are slim.

I'm with JGB on this, the Dr needs to take a serious step back and let Tim sort this alleged mess out with the Dr taking action where recommended. Very sad to see my club of 35 years suffering. Bring back Steve Gibson.

Well done Solly! I was beginning to think I was out of sink, on the way back from Leeds I said to my daughter I would rather watch us play in the Championship then watch this circus. Those still peddling MK need to take their head out of the sand, clearly everyone cannot be wrong?

JGR if Tim Sheens announces that he's staying for a full season rather than just the 12 weeks we know about (3 gone already) I'll happily join you in believing in the Tooth Fairy, Father Christmas and Dr K's skills in managing a rugby club.

No issue with FR at all, just wasn’t sure what was happening with it as it’s been very quiet on that front ever since Koukash took over.

This isnt me pushing an agenda for a supporters owned club, as at the moment I have little knowledge of whether it’s even a viable option but more understanding that should Koukash up and leave and there are no other multi-millionaires wanting to pump their cash in what possible options there could be us.

I am sure given recent events and the general feeling amongst fans at the moment, the interest would be there for a meeting to be held. We could even ask for a representative of Rochdale Hornets to attend to give us a brief overview of how they went around their own supporters takeover of the club.

Cheers for the laugh.

Sorry JGR, I didn't mean to imply [iyou[/i had an issue with FR, I meant any supporter in general.



Forever Reds is affiliated with Supporters Direct, who have helped numerous football and rugby league clubs acquire shareholdings or even the entire club, including Rochdale Hornets. So they are well placed to move on this if required.

Personally, I would only look to step in if Koukash left the club and there was no buyer showing interest.

I've heard a few people repeat this 'Those sticking-up for MK' or similar, yet I've not come across anyone openly sticking-up for him at all recently. The only thing close is people saying 'we wouldn't have a Club without MK' but it's always followed by a big BUT after it.

I suspect that it's actually just fans fracturing on more bad news tbh. The fans of Salford are ALL fed-up with MK and the way the Club is being run atm. At least all those I talk to and quite a lot I don't.

I honestly believe when Koukash took over he thought he could just throw big money at it, kick people's s, fire some out of the door and the team would be regularly playing in front of 10K home attendances and frequenting Old Trafford every October.

The reality is professional sports club's are rife with odd ball personalities, greed, ego's and all kinds of $hite that really takes some quality management. MK's biggest mistakes was appointing an inexperienced coach in Harris and getting overly involved in all kinds of things he shouldn't have. An owner of a club should be seen but not heard.

It does seem with the appointment of Tim Sheen's that the penny has eventually dropped but at what cost to Koukash himself and the club's Superleague future?

I'm concerned about the sentiment that people would rather watch Salford in the Championship or League One than endure the current situation. I can’t believe anyone who endured the 2008 season could believe that, even with those cup finals. The stench of death lingers below Super League – if you’re not in there, you are nowhere.



I don’t think that is a prerequisite. Brian Snape was vocal, it's just that he channeled his energies through official channels. Mind you, you didn’t have social media then!

Aye. I've said before that Koukash should stay off Twitter but, to be honest, if the players seemed happy and we were winning stuff - in other words, if the actual running of the club seemed to be sound - I'm not sure I'd give a monkeys. Balls to the rest of the "rugby league family". However, the social media outbursts just seem to be very public examples of a very odd personality.
