That "safe hands" tweet is thoroughly disgraceful. Should be reprimanded by RFL.

Shows money never buys class.

Feel genuinely sorry for you guys. You finally get someone with the resources to make a proper go of Salford RL, but you then get hamstrung by MKs ego. It's like Salford have simply provided a media outlet for him.
All the players on twitter reading that must be wondering what on earth the type of club he's running at Salford. Why would players want to join?

Don't know why Cas fans are obsessed with CCJs tbh. It's like that's the only thing you know over the common icon_wink.gif

I don't see the tweet as being disgusting, disgraceful whatever.

I do see it thought as childish and unprofessional.

It says in the Salford Star article that Lama Tasi left last month for St Helens. Has he gone already or is this another possible inaccuracy?

I found this comment quite amusing -

The Salford Star asked Salford Red Devils to comment on all these allegations but, as yet, has received no response.

Why would the club waste a second of their time responding when they have deliberately attempted to negatively influence the Salford public's opinions about the club over the past 5 years?

Its probably a case that the CCJs are and issue of wont pay rather than cant pay - MKs ego yet again? Its a poor way to do business, and with a player publicly stating he is owed money its hardly going to help Salfords cause at the moment. He may have brought the club the money you needed but your owner is certainly holding you back in other ways.

a great puff ball piece in the MEN,

www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ ... ng-9432173

Sadly a sport journalist was trying to deal with business issues. Plenty of 'non denial denials' there.

No questions about numerous CCJs (which tend to be common for sport clubs with poor finances).

No questions on whether bailiffs have actually been going to the club itself (rather than a story about debt collectors / Bailiffs seeking individuals and the dubious assertion that these people are "regular visitors to all sporting clubs" _- REALLY? Come off it)

Not a single question on whether all players have been paid their full wages on time every time. Nor questions on whether the club has kept up payments on rents and leases. Nothing re Puletua for example.

In fact no specific questions at all.

Despite that the article does manage to be revealing. First Vickers appears to think that free entrance is proof that there is nothing wrong financially whereas it could be proof that people are utterly clueless. Second Vickers is quoted as saying: ‘‘Club affairs are handled by Marwan’s legal people.’’ Not by CEO Vickers?

The fans of the club deserve better than this mess particularly when owned by one of Britain's most successful businessmen.

If the club are in such a financial mess as reported why would the owner and CEO publicly deny the allegations?

If you consider Salford's current income and expenditure there must be a sizeable shortfall. Therefore it's obvious the club are currently dependant of MK's financial support to balance the books. If there is a problem and the Doc hasn't got the funds to support the club then surely any financial problems would escalate out of control very quickly. I just find it hard to understand why both Koukash and Vickers would poor cold water on a problem if they knew the situation was only going to get a hell of a lot worse.

Vickers either doesn't know his ar5e from his elbow or he is telling porkies when he talks about bailiffs and player's debts. In his position he must surely be aware of the club's recent CCJ's (5 of them for a total of just over £50k). CCJ x Non-payment within 30 days = a visit from the bailiffs to seize goods.

After Marwans rude word tweet on the matter it's hard to see how Vickers considers the clubs response to be discreet. He does make sense with some of the other stuff though. It will all come out in the wash as they say.

Having sat near him at a few games I can only conclude that he is subdued when tweeting.
