Because Koukash isn't "rent a quote" in the slightest. Honest.

Followed with interest on twitter the Ryan Brierley saga over the last few days and Koucash hasn't really shed himself or Salford in a great light.

He chose to join in a conversation on a social media site and directly stated to a contracted player of another club he would be having the lad watched. This is poor conduct from any official of any club.

Attempting to turn a young lads head like that is in my opinion very unprofessional and I'm sure the RFL would have something to say about it.

Thank god we have Directors who tackle these kind of things head on and take no nonsense.

The comment about club size is not in the best spirit granted as a director but for me just needed the work potentially to be used as Salford is not a RL area and historically has struggled to attract crowds and lay foundations within what a is primarily a football City. Salford is a rich club but not a big club, don't mistake the two.

Haha was waiting for you

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't it Ryan that Tweeted something along the lines of 'I wonder if Salford can afford me now' to which Koucash replied that he could afford anybody.

My guess is he could, but that means nothing, so could Roman Ambramovic but can't see him coming in for Ryan

He's our player who cares who said what .

In my view, players and officials of both clubs need to be careful what they say on 'social media'. Don't all clubs have a strict code of conduct for this sort of thing?

Here here, lads going nowhere.

The players do yes.

He can't afford me. I will always be a Leyther despite my fixed income' which as per usual I never ever mention.

Would think officials should too. After all, say Dr Koukash tweeted something out of turn, how could he then expect Salford's players to follow their code of conduct?

Does anyone like Koukash for anything other than his money?

I know people will kill me for this but, this news (or not news ) comes out and we put in a below par performance. It has happened so many times before and we then find out that the rumour was correct. I really hope not.

You'd could be right, but we've put in plenty of poor performances in when there's no rumour to go with it, so most likely that's not the problem.
