| Quote: BigT "TBF it was only a few weeks ago he was berating Marwan on twitter for trying to sign Ryan Brierley. saying some quite disrespectful things.
So this on 180 seems a little manufactured'"
And TBF Dr Koukash was lying about what he had and hadn't done. That little spat was settled and laughed about the very next day with a few phone calls being exchanged.
Derek and Marwan are basically the same. Very passionate about their respective clubs and very keen to defend them to the hilt.
This Press Release is in no way manufactured as Derek and Marwan have a very good and positive working relationship.

This is what Derek Beaumont has just said
One sunny day doesn't make a summer.
He was having public spats with other Clubs fans on social media. Not forgetting the Brierley thing. Of course he's going to be nicey-nicey after signing Dixon.

Mate, I agree Salford fans are cringeworthy too. All you have to do is take a glance at twitter. Everyones up hos behind, granted I love what the guys done for the club. None of level head Salford fans I speak to had us down for challenge cup last year, I always thought we'd struggle last year with an entire new team. This season? I'm hoping for a positon 5th to 7th and I'd be happy with semi final CC. As previoualy said, look on twitter and Salford has there own, toe curling fans, there a lady to frequently has my hand covering my eye, I won't mention the name as I think she craves the attention.
I did say, there nothing wrong with being confident but fans and you board of directors have your fans beleiving you world beaters. I maybe wrong but when Fev were winning everything under Powell, I don't recall their fans behaving such a embarrassing behaviour. Suppose all clubs, including Salford has their deluded section, we had, still have it over a certain John Wilkinson who bled the club dry.
Can't agree over St Pats, has it got that bad a amature club refuses to enter challenge cup because it's not self sufficient if they get a bigger draw? Whole gate should of gone to St Pats. Home clubs have fiddled cup games for years though.

I'm sure the point St Pat's was trying to make was that, even if they got the full gate receipts, they would have still only got a figure barely scraping in to three figures rather than Leigh depriving them of a £60 share, not forgetting that the RFL would have also taken their share of the gate.

Leigh just play there too though mate. They incur the same costs week in week out too. Leigh get no income from the concession stands or any of the bars in the stadium on match days either. The only income they do receive is from ticket sales alone. Leigh Sports Village is a private stadium (albeit mostly owned by Wigan Council). Leigh are merely tenants there. If, as you say, Wigan St Pats only made £68 from the Challenge Cup match, then Leigh Centurions as a club would have probably received less as the away team.

250,000 fans at £10 each surely should've earned them a few quid.

Ha ha. Bargain!
Have got a good squad together again Leigh this year. As mentioned already in this thread the bottom 4 of SL could be in for a bit of a shock when after the top 8/bottom 4 split.

Quote: John Gilbert Reds "Recalled from his brief loan spell at Halifax and joins Leigh with immediate effect.
Very good signing for Leigh, building an impressive squad down the East Lancs. Whoever finishes in the bottom four this season should be worried.'"
Indeed John Gilbert (yeah i know it's a pub) Dennis Betts is worried!

He certainly hasn't covered himself in glory in the past, but if there's one set of supporters who should have sympathy for outspoken owners not coming across well on Twitter...

I agree to a point.
The difference here is that MK does things tongue-in-cheek. You will find him winding-up opposition fans because they seem to be incapable of understanding banter when they see it. Beaumont on the other hand was being downright nasty and abusive at times. It's not even a subtle difference.
I personally cringe when MK goes on Twitter sometimes. Should he reel it in? Probably. Beaumont just needs to stop getting into slagging matches with members of the public.
I think the underlying factor in both cases is Twitter and three bottles of red wine.

I don't know how , we a young kid on the wing called Corey Lee, had a blinder and scored 3 really good tries, one length of the field.
