Donlan left last week, that seems to have slipped under the radar in all this.

That's what I thought but if you read the quotes From Martin Vickers on SKY it appears he is still there, that is the issue with believing what you read on internet forums.

Hmmm, sure I read a quote from Marwan that he had left?

Not according to Martin Vickers

long leaves because he can`t work with noble , long returns and nobles sacked , i just hope there isn`t 2 different cliques forming in the squad , gleeson is longs mate and possibly hacked off at losing captaincy , just seems funny long is being offered a new deal now nobby is out of the way , all conjecture i know but someone as stabbed nobby in the back

You're both right.
MK said he'd left,MV said he's not.
By the way,how do we know it was players going to see Koukash that did for Nobby.
More speculation ?

It says there's going to be a press conference to unveil Harris on Weds, I'm wondering if any of the alleged new RU targets will be announced too, maybe too defllect slightly from what's gone on over the last few days.

Do we have any evidence that Sean Long left because he couldn't work with Brian Noble? The official reason - that he'd been offered the chance to coach one of the biggest clubs in the world, the club he grew up supporting and who train within a 40-20 of his home - sounds pretty plausible.

From what I remember, the week his move to Wigan was announced, he stayed on the coach the Salford team for one last match. If his working relationship with Brian Noble was so bad, would he have done that? And would he have come back to Salford?

No chance of new RU signings being announced. Think we need to start viewing these references to new RU signings as an aspiration as opposed to thinking we're involved in talks with top level people.

Donlan wasnt mentioned in Koukash's "Noble, Harris, Long and Hay are the team to take us forward" quote.

I'm sure Salford Online mentioned he'd gone last week as well.

Its' A Dr . Who's Coach? Regeneration
Now on Dr's 3rd incarnation.

He loves Press days more than Putin Loves annexation.

never a truer word mate.

That'd be a start. Instead he's opted for Iestyn

On a serious note, I'm more than a bit puzzled why he hasn't set his sights much higher on the coaching front, given that, as you point out, he isn't short of a bob or two.
