| He may be miss-guided but you must love his passion and hope that he is not on a giant PR stunt as over the last few weeks all I have read about is KouCash, KouCash KouCash and very little of what is going on at Salford. Really hope he turns it round as a strong Salford in Super League and drawing in fans to the game from Manchester would be massive.

To be fair, it's the media interest in him that fuels it. The RL media have found a reporting goldmine, enabling them to quickly and lazily get stories out on slow news days. He's a passionate fella who sometimes lets it spill out when he shouldn't but to us it just endears him more. I've found it quite surprising how much bitterness has come forth from other fans and people in the game. Not all, but certainly the majority. I guess that the close knit powers that be are not sure what to make of him at the moment, but to us he's a breath of fresh air. Besides, it's quite nice to be ruffling the feathers of others in the game. It shows we're not just Salford the retirement home who have no ambition, it shows that others are worried for their own Clubs.

| I agree I think he is great for the game as long as he does what he says, which at the minute looks like he will. He saved the club and that's all you can ask for at the minute. and as long as his hands go deep in his pockets and you pick up some good talent I think Nobby will get you up there within the next 4 years or so. It does take that long and I hope the fans don't think that the league will be yours next year.

| I've been sitting on my hands since Sunday but after reading posts from a variety of places, I need to join in.
Dr Koukash is an academic. As such, he should have the nouse to check his sources to establish the truth of what happened.
I watched him walk to the West Stand to placate his supporters and the view from where I was, was 'Respect'. So much so, that when he walked back to his place in the stands, we applauded him.
Reading what he said to the press left me astounded and all respect has been withdrawn.
Some people feel that all publicity is good publicity but I disagree. In this case, stating that 'we don't want this in 'our lovely game'', really angered me.
Surely bringing this situation to the national press helps to damage 'our lovely game'.
With respect to Dr Koukash, he has been in 'our lovely game' for less than five minutes and if he continues with his ill thought out soundbites, he will bring 'our lovely game' into disrepute.
This is the kind of publicity we really don't need.
My OH and I were considering buying season tickets for next year, alongside our Warrington tickets. We now have to think again ![Sad icon_sad.gif](images/smilies//icon_sad.gif)

Glory hunting again are you
BTW get a life, there are lots more things in the world to be worried about that one mans mistaken outburst (which he has apologised for)

He admitted on the Monday even his mistake has since made an unreserved apology to the player in question ( Ben Westwood ) which we're told has been accepted. We had certain radio stations and news agencies still rehashing 2 day old soundbites as news. don't be too harsh on him . If your player has accepted the apology & moved on ..

Not if he has made national news with the accusations.
Haven't seen the apology, yet. Is there a link to it?

Good john wilky last looked out
on the pitch at salford.
when the snow lay round about
deep and crisp and even
brightly played the lads that night
though the frost was cruelllll
when poor swinton scored a try
we had 94urrrrrrrrrr:7891.jpg |

Sorry, our messages must have been posted almost simultaneously.
I hope he'll wait until he's in possession of the full facts next time.
I'm hoping for good things for Salford in future seasons. When I first started to go to matches on a regular basis,
Salford were always to be feared and that's how it should be.
Good luck for next season.

Over an incident that's been blown out of all proportion and been apologised for? There's more important things to take into consideration, surely?
As for the incident itself, I hope those who lied to Koukash will be dealt with accordingly.

Free tickets for the remainder of the year would be adequate punishment I think. ![Smile icon_smile.gif](images/smilies//icon_smile.gif)
