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Reading what he said to the press left me astounded and all respect has been withdrawn.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.

Quite, although fair play to him for apologising. He said he was going to "deal with" the Salford fans if he found out they were lying. Crumbs.

I see he has sacked Parrish. Ignore the reference to "mutual consent", I suspect that's what has been inserted into the Compromise Agreement used to tie up his termination package. When someone uses the phrase , they've been sacked, regardless of what he says in his next breath.

It's going to be fascinating to watch Salford over the next 12 months, regardless of whether they're any good or not. The fact that he isn't going to tone down the hyperbole is delicious.

It certainly will be interesting. i reckon that if Noble doesn't do the business by this time next year, the bold Doctor will be......... 'moving him on, but of course, we'll still be friends.'

At this rate Koukash is going to merit his own 'sticky' on the board. He doesn't seem to be able to keep out of the news from one day to the next.
