Koukash has gone out and recruited on the basis of a fantasy RL game from around 2010.

If he's "had enough", it's entirely due to the incompetence of his own making.

This. The players aren't good enough. Especially in the pack.

There's a difference between not being good enough and not being assed. Cas weren't good enough on paper last year.

You can't blame him for being upset. I don't agree with alot of what he says, but he saved Salford, pumped probably north of £5million into it and has been so badly advised its embarrassing

Maybe he's had enough of the sort of tweets he has to put up with from the likes of @Ryano_ActionMan. Banter is one thing but thats gone to far.

Re: Marwan Koukash again : Sat Feb 14, 2015 10:48 pm  
He's been let down by a lot of people at Salford. Their players aren't good enough to win SL, but there is enough there to make them a very tough team to beat. They have a superb fulback, superb halfbacks and a sizeable pack. What they don't have is any sort of team spirit or unity. I'd suggest they weren't actually trying against Saints, too many people hiding instead of taking the ball, far too many turning their back in defense and not showing the required commitment. He's paid an awful lot of money to keep that club on life support and he's had absolutely no response from anyone, the players, the staff or the fans. It's a club that is in severe danger, he pulls the plug and it looks pretty disasterous for them. Sure they may survive in some kind of Championship 2 FC United of Manchester kind of way, but they are done as a professional outfit if he departs. And why should he stay? He's handed over £5m+ and no one is even trying to make it work. Sure he's crass at times and needs to keep off Twitter, but he's right to be annoyed and could hardly be blamed if he walked away.

It is. A vile tweet and one that should see him prosecuted. I sincerely hope the RLIF or whoever is in charge of things ensures he's banned from the sport. He's a very limited person and one we don't need in our sport.

Looking through his Twitter postings, it seems he's incredibly bitter about everything in life, stemming from him being left without pay by Crusaders. He seems particularly venemous about Iestyn Harris, but then he does seem to be hated by all the players he worked with as a coach.

He could and should be blamed if he walks away. It's his decisions and his responsibility. He has taken complete charge of Salford so if Salford "doesn't work" or "fails" then it's Marwan Koukash's failure.

For the record I don't think Salford are failing, I think they're headed in the right direction (in general). I just hope he's more patient behind the scenes than he is in the media/in public. It's going to take a decade of continued investment, hard work and consistently good decisions made at all levels of the club for Salford to become a contender for silverware.

It took Leeds nearly that time and they were starting from a massively higher base than Salford.

I don't think he's expecting the title this year. He's just expecting the players to put some effort in, they clearly weren't against Saints.

Get LEIGH outta wigan

Re: Marwan Koukash again : Sun Feb 15, 2015 12:20 am  
Swap Koukash for Davy and Salford would be in a much better place now.
It seem to me for every quid Koukash puts in he want a pound of flesh out of it.
The smaller English football club under foreign ownership spring to mind
