Can't see there been relegation this year with the state London are in and now Bradford.

That is AUD/USD, so ONLY £490 Million really

No one can say/predict how long Koukash will be incharge of us? Anyone could say the same about any club owner, nobody knows! The doc certainly didn't take us on to make money! He does like the attention and popularity and the bigger Salford get the more attention he will get. The doc is a sports fan, horse racing, rugby, football. In the horse racing side he is the biggest british based owner, in football he'll never reach the top! But in rugby league he could.
His plans are not to only build a good first team squad but to make Salford self sufficient! He is currently in talks with the council to help make this happen. If the doc was as impatient as everybody reckons he could have walked after last years season?! It's the docs aim for us to improve year on year, and with each year I think he'll fall more in love with rugby league and Salford.

I know a lot if opposition fans keep coming out with "I hope Koukash stays doesn't get board and walks" But I get the feeling most opposition fans are hoping this will happen. A lot of people tell Koukash on twitter "you'll walk away soon" and "your not wanted in RL" I think this will only make the doc want to prove people wrong. Apparently the racing community reacted the same way and said the same things to the doc when he started out only 5 years ago, he proved them wrong and he states he'll prove the rugby doubters wrong. Only time will tell and I can tell you one thing, every Salford fans will enjoy the ride!

I was waiting for this.

It's a different issue you are talking about or at least it should be.

No way am I suggesting the SL should be a closed shop. There needs to be a way to reward excellence and not reward ineptitude. I just don't think a yearly scramble to survive is any longer the way to do it and I don't think you do deep down. Lets be honest here, good though Fev are in many ways if you came up your tenure in SL would be one maybe two years at best. Despite what your Coach/BOD say they will panic and use mercenaries rather than build a team from the huge talent pool that exists in Featherstone/Pontefract. It would destroy your club.

Trinity have only survived in SL due to huge slices of luck. Yeah we have worked and fought hard but we have been lucky - whether it be a really crap Hudds, a Goulding brain explosion at Salford, Cas tripping themselves up when they had it in the bag or Crusaders crashing last minute - I can't see anyone having that adventure again, sorry but that is a Trinity patent

Yes a mechanism is required and the obvious one in a flourishing united and far sighted game would be to expand the league - but that's not RL where short sightedness is the name of the game.
