The rest of Rugby league see our once great club as a Joke and I have heard that half the current squad can't wait to get away and if we do get relegated their wish will happen. I have not heard any of them say what a fantastic organisation to be apart of and I agree. For Gods sake Marwan shut up you are destroying us.

Thanks.
We'll be fine.
Dr K runs a management training company so he'll be ok with crisis management,I'm sure.
As somebody said on Twitter we did really well to come back against HKR last week so what's changed in a week ?

Unfortunately there is only one man who realistically can sort it out. He seems the type of man who wants to prove the haters wrong however he clearly isn't learning from his mistakes. Any sensible rugby league man would not have the club in its current position having spent so much money. If he continues to invest, keeps his mouth shut more often, leaves recruitment to Tim Sheens and whoever Sheens wishes to listen to and employs someone with marketing expertise (ie someone who has the skills of the late Peter Deakin RIP) we have a chance.

If he doesn't sort himself out we will no have no team and no ground!

[quote="OFFTHECUFF":1xb0p6sn] Wish i could watch a team like Leigh. :CLAP: [/quote:1xb0p6sn] [quote="Steve":1xb0p6sn] Dislike Leigh with a passion, but they are a million miles ahead of any other club in this league, a sad fact. [/quote:1xb0p6sn]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_24148.jpg



Quote: DirkDiggler "Person who also told me about the dressing room incident just after the KR game, said Rangi had submit a transfer request.
After the comments of him talking to a fans at last weeks game about how the club treat people this rings very true.
I think Marwan really needs to take a step back, heed Brian Macs comments and readdress the way he is running our great club.
With all the speculation, rumours and players / staff talking for the life of me I cannot see anyone wanting to join our club, unless money driven.
Unfortunately I fear the damage is done and it will take a very long time to recover from the past 3 years, especially while Marwans so involved.'"


I think that is part of the problem with some of your current squad. Certainly doesn't seem much resolve/pride based on last nights result and many players leaving mid season also suggests lack of real enthusiasm for Salford.

I thought that he was a GP from St Helens.

Tim Sheens on Radio Manchester this Thursday thought that it is a good thing that people are keeping RL in the news...I think in your owners case you definitely can have too much of a good thing. However, I don't think that it's McDermott's position to comment

I appreciate that there is still a lot of rugby to play and it's a points restart, but, another loss before the middle 8's and there will be a hell of a lot of pressure form and momentum wise what you don't want is ranting and raving

Correct Rico, as much as what McDermott said may be true, what the f has it got to do with him. No need to say it certainly not in the direct aftermath of the game.

It felt like last night was players making a point, which is worrying. We have to beat widnes next week, as it stands I'm not confident we'll beat wakey, leigh or bradford

Your in dreamland if you think Leeds and Salford would merge that will never happen:



Quote: Bonita Red "Dr K runs a management training company so he'll be ok with crisis management,I'm sure.'"

Aye, [iright.[/i "Hi is that Euromatech? Yeah, I'd like to book a course on not paying the bills and getting my staff to openly revolt. Is that something you do? Smashing."

The really bloody tragic thing about all this is that if you genuinely are a rugby league fanatic with a bottomless money pit the route to success isn't rocket science. Have a bit of patience, take time to put the right people in at the top*, sign the cheques, stay out of the changing room. Instead we've got a duffer from the council in on a dodgy deal and an owner who tarts about on social media like a hormonal One Direction fan. Does anyone still think this is going to end well?

*Yep, I know that's the difficult bit.

Maybe he needs to attend one of his own management courses then, as he clearly has no idea whatsoever what it takes to be a leader or a man-manager.

I think you've just described Paul Caddick and Simon Moran.

While we are still patiently waiting for a grand final we have still had some considerable success. But that said both clubs were in a financial mess and close to relegation when those owners stepped up.....

Mcdermot has never said anything controversial that I can ever remember he has that Tony smith "I'm going to try and say as little as possible" about him.....so when that happened maybe its just the tip of the iceberg for koukash.

Shaun Wane next......??

Let's be honest Mcdermott is spot on, with is comments.I have to wonder how long Tim Sheens will stay on board,before he worries about is reputation.it's funny we have not had a comment from Michigan or is Brother
on this one.

Koukash had some decent ideas, and made all the right noises when he first got involved with our sport, but he's now turned into a joke figure.

Salford are now seen as a comedy club.

But we still get deluded Salford fans thinking they can attract top players at the click of a finger just because their club have a few quid. Face facts,your few quality players are queueing up to leave.

McDermott is correct. You need to get new owners if you are to move forward as a club and want to challenge the so-called 'big 3'.

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif



I would not say Salford need new owners, lets face it the amount of money needed to keep Salford afloat will be colossal. I can't see Koukash selling it for a penny and the fans are not at the numbers needed to attract another big money man.

It's basically Koukash or no-one.

There are many many issues at Salford probably half of them we don't know. But I can only see Koukash digging himself out of this current hole. The thing is when he is signing all the cheques who internally is going to tell him, "Marwan, shut up."

Because that person will be shown the door double quick. The future of Salford is entirely in Marwans hands if he becomes more self aware, if people outside of RL start to be hesitant about dealing with him because of the way his comedy image has come across, then maybe he will realise that maybe he does overstep the mark and should at least keep off twitter for a start.
