I wasn't intentionally trying to make the situation appear trivial. I just find it interesting that this solicitor Cramer who is representing both Puletua and Locke was also representing two Salford players in 2012 when these players served a winding up order on the club. Could this have been for the very same reason I mentioned in my previous post?

I wasn't suggesting you were making it trivial,you were just trying to stay positive which we're all trying to do.
There have been suggestions that some senior players are also owed money. I've no idea whether this is true.
I'm not interested in the 2012 situation,we've changed ownership since then I think.
I've just started to feel embarrassed for the club ,players,supporters and everyone connected.
If we're issuing contracts and not honouring them,then it's a poor reflection on those responsible.

Whilst I agree we shouldn't be bothered about 2012 it is starting to have the whiff of the beginning of the end of the Wilkinson era

I'm finding it v depressing and embarrassing for our club. I hope it is just rumours and people looking to knock down Motormouth Marwan but there are starting to be too many rumours to ignore

Me neither BR I was simply making the point that with Cramer now involved there could possibly be similarities between the past and present.

Lets face it, on the face of it Locke's departure wont affect us on the field. Apart from his first game away at Huddersfield, he has done nothing in a Salford shirt of any note because he has unfortunately been injured for the majority of his time here. I admire his courage though, it must have been tough for him at times but he never seemed to let each injury affect him to much and just continued with his rehab every time.

It is a huge shame it never worked out though, he had the potential to be the best signing any Super League club had ever made (big and bold statement I know, but true) and it is a massive shame for him, the club and the supporters this never happened.

I'm gravely concerned about the reports of him being owed money, he is now the third ex player along with Tony Puletua and Brad England to make such claims. When you consider the facts and bear in mind the CCJ's which have been served you would be a fool not to be worried, regardless of Koukash' wealth. Since he has taken over, we're in no better financial state as a business/club than we were under Wilkinson, if anything we're worse off being our liabilities are even greater. Fortunatly, for the time being we have a rich owner who seems content on progressing the club and isn't considering quitting any time soon.

I await Koukash' press conference with baited breath, as at the moment our club is being dragged through the dirt for all the wrong reasons. I'm worried how this may affect our future signings, even if there is nothing in it why risk joining a team where such rumours persist? You just wouldn't.

Omnishambles.

There's nothing more that needs to be said about the matter really.

Be VERY careful what you post on here. I've been told that Dr Koukash may be announcing plans to sue people for defamation on Tuesday. This could include those that have posted on social media and chat forums such as this.

Just A quick heads up.

Good post there Neil. I have been told the very same. The interlopers from Warrington - `Bruce Forsyth` & `Brian Bradys side step` should be very worried for a start.

All I would say on the subject re Locke is that there are 2 sides to every story.

Castleford village could potentially be in financial meltdown.
