Really ?
As you are the font of all knowledge, I'll have to assume that the Marwan Koukash I met at the stables of trainer Ian Williams around 4 years ago was a total figment of my imagination.

Big Jim you clearly are a betting chappy. Hence your recollection of the top fella.

Ok taking out the fact big Jim ain't happy......hand on heart how many have you loyal supporters had heard of Mr Koukash.?? No take here just a genuine enquiry.

How many Chelsea fans heard of Abramovich before he took over at stamford bridge or how many Man City fans ever heard of Sheik Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan?

There's hundreds or maybe even thousands of very successful people in this country that i nor probably any other poster on this forum would recognise if we walked past in the street.

Anyway Marshy what point is it your trying to make?

Jealousy comes to mind .......

You beat me to it Red League. You can add a long list of other RL club owners to that as well. I just don't understand the point I think Marshy's trying to make of having to know somebody first to make them credible, genuine and accepted.

Kaleed in the shop this morning found a pound so he could be the next tycoon of middle eastern origin to buy into a RL team, I think with that kind of windfall he could buy and finance Swinton for years to come.

Imagine a real force in RL again just down the road in Leigh.

I cannot believe how people can be critical of Dr Koukash. He saved our club. Without him, we would be history. We wouldn't have had that wonderful win against Widnes at Magic weekend. We can now look forward to a great year next year and for the foreseeable future.

Tut you lot disappoint me.At least give me a good slagging off ...but please Jealous of Salford....read the history books people and look at who has won what.
No jealousy from me.....indeed I hope things work out for you.

That semi final defeat in 1935 sickens me to this day.

Well, Marshy, your mate certainly knows how to predict winners!

Record books are things to be proud of but not yardsticks to assess a club: witness the mighty Oldham, the invincible Huddersfield, the winning Manningham.

Did not know where to post this but as this thread it about him, here is a post from the Warrington board.




Can his stock get any higher? Obviously his outburst has rubbed opposition fans up the wrong way, but please tell me, how great has it been having such a man embracing the family game culture within rugby league. Now I won't be attending F/R meeting, could it be possible to ask him to replicate this offer to Salford fans with the proceeds going to F/R.

Just a thought.....

Good Morning Marshy , im fine , I was at the LSV yesterday to watch Swinton and Fax , a very poor show from your lot though , whats going on?I nearly took off my bowler hat and red nose , and put on a Swinton shirt to improve them ,I hope you sort it out .
