He'll probably re-brand them Salford Red Sox.

Martyn Sadler tells me it is Niel, and he has joined then not seconded, why call him Rugby League Boss then? give Dr Koukash dues he is trying to pull out all stops. Salford does seem a RFL priority!

Its not Big Nigel - its Niel - hes more of a coach and will also be trying to promote awareness for the Red Devils in the close season. Its quite a challenge .

Wrong. Skolars budget for marketing will be tiny in comparison with a side two leagues above them (the Broncos) and the Skolars marketing staff have done more with their tiny budget than the Broncos staff have in the past...5-7 years. Throw in the game at the HAC and it further highlights the incompetence of the Broncos and how the money the fans have spent has been wasted.

What's wrong?

The what is that the London Skolars are a club who are being managed incredibly well off the pitch by the likes of the Kramer's and Paul Thorman (who is actually leaving) and are producing a side on the pitch that is not only competitive but winning games as well.

Compare that with the clowns at Broncos. Less fans than Skolars in three games despite being a couple of leagues above, no idea what the men in charge are doing and Tony Rea's rabble of rubbish.

Incredibly well? Really? Their crowds are no better than any other club in a league which is packed with younger clubs than them. I'm supportive of the Skolars but I don't see them as a shining example of management and progress.

Their season hasn't finished & they're already punting season tickets for 2014.

If Gus worked for Skolars he'd hold a position commensurate with his abilities.

Like bog cleaner.

I did say that in my comment later! that it was Niel and not Neil, bad journalism by the Manchester Evening News, it did say he was Boss of The Rugby League, so I thought while checking it out that it may have been a spelling error.

Better than us? Yes. Incredibly good? No.

Kieran the next confused player going public in the press. http://www.express.co.uk/sport/rugbyleague/425298/Kieran-Dixon-uneasy-about-future-at-London-Broncos I want to know what the truth is too, but whatever the plans of the club they should explain to the players not to talk to the press. (Accept that it is possible that neither Tony Clubb or Kieran have talked to the press and they have just made something up, but a denial would be nice if this was the case)

I just can't believe journalists would make up a comment, except Julie Scott who does tend to exaggerate matters a little.

The Skolars are the only club in the Championship that has never gone bust, and you can also add a lot of Super League clubs to that. The Skolars are a model on how to run a club.
