We are all giving Neil Barker exactly what he wants. When I read the story I laughed and thought this is a p1ss take, Neil Barker is probably still laughing at how many people have fallen for it!

Not really, Koukash has confirmed the club are dealing with the matter but has said it's being dealt with internally... That's a new one.

I really doubt this article would have made print if it was another Salford player. It started with speculation in the MEN (Manchester Evening News) about Locke's potential move to Scottish RU that lead to Locke having a social media spat with reporter Neil Barker. I interpret this story as a mischievous form of revenge.

If a local journalist was writing disruptive articles about one of your star players, you wouldn’t back them would you? Common sense would suggest you would either ban said journalist from the stadium/club or publically show support for the player. Koukash’ tweet last week regarding the Scottish RU story was to say “Neil Barker has reported this story 100% correct” or something to that tune.

I have no doubts Barker speaks with Koukash and Vickers on a weekly basis, they seem to have a good relationship and no doubt use each other for mutual benefits. This latest story has 100% been given to Barker to make a song and dance (excuse the pun) about.

I will be eternally grateful to Marwan for saving the club, but deary me some of the stuff coming out of the place at the moment is a joke. It doesn’t help him having his puppet and lap dog (Martin Vickers) by his side either, whom has zero sports administration experience. If were to ever become successful, MK needs an experienced CEO and/or Director of Football alongside him to advise him on how to operate a successful RL club.

Vickers has actually had a few digs at Barker on twitter, I've quite warmed to him.

Seem to remember Wigan banning Barker when he wrote for the local Wigan paper. Upsetting players etc with his stories

Why does Barker write like this.

No paragraphs.

No real quotes.

No real news.

I wrote a post about the MEN Sports desk's abilities not so long ago. Disheartening, yet not surprising, to see their abilities living up to what I've said previously.

Lazy bullet points and a tendency for the irrelevant. Coupled with low grade journalism it's very frustrating to see how one guy can cause so much angst to fans and players.

I have no idea what is going on behind the scenes but what I do know is Locke will need a run of games to find his best form and get his match fitness back. He's had one full game this year because of injury and he did OK at Catalan. The criticism Locke is getting in the MEN newspaper I feel is a little premature. Surely Locke's contribution needs judging after a few back to back games, or does Mr Barker know something we don't? If there is a problem and he does know, could it suggest a lack of professionalism within the club? A snake in the grass perhaps or simply marwanism?

Here's some gossip for Neil the Scoop Barker,Adrian Morley shops at Aldi,make whatever you can from that.
When will the internal club investigation start?
Are any fans up in arms over this gross dereliction on Adrian's part?

Is any fan really unhappy about Locke's dancing? Maybe if we'd been stuffed the day before, but not after a respectable result.

I never knew street dancing was illegal. Mick Jagger was really pushing it to the boundaries wasn't he? I also didn't know taking off a t shirt in Spain was either. I'd be more concerned if he was on video snorting coke!

Quote: Michigan red "I'm torn on this, on one hand we have Evalds who is an incredible talent who has that much vaunted X factor and on the other we have Locke who when fit has it in him to be the best attacking full back in the league.

I agree with are kid in that there's something doesn't seem quite right in the back ground, does make you wonder what (if any) influence Sheens has had in this and if the Doc lined up a Billy Slater type signing for next season.'"

Hahaha Billy Slater type..... Wasn't that supposed to be Locke.... Please !!!
