The only other director of both Salford City Reds (2013) Limited and its parent company, Mkac Investment Partners Limited, is an Andrew Chalmers. Presumably, there is enough cash from SKY coming in to sustain the playing squad for the remainder of the season (the SKY money should more than cover the salary cap), without needing any more investment at the moment/

That would assume that someone wanted to buy the club off Koukash, and they could agree a fee with him.

Worst case, I guess he could just pull the plug, sack everyone and wind up the business if he wanted to.

The parent company, MKAC Investment Partners, have recently been served with a first notice of dissolution by Companies House for non-filing of accounts. If they are not filed within the next 6 weeks then they will be struck off.

In comparison to other Super League squads, is it that bad?

Whilst I am sure he will pass comment on playing personnel, I assume Koukash would like some guidance and advice on the structures which are in place at the moment and how these could be improved upon.

Fingers crossed during his time at Salford Marwan manages to offer him enough money to convince him to take over the reigns on a permanent basis. I can dream!

The way I see it, apart from Iestyn being an average/poor coach, is if you're going to have a squad with some top class international players and x factor players with real quality, the rest of the team need to be very competent and confident in defence if nothing else.

Wigan and Saints have a squad full of players who are committed and competent in defence and also a few x factor players to break the line and create tries.

It's no good having Locke, Rangi and BJB when you've got Mason Caton Brown out wide.

I'm not comparing it to other SL squads, and neither will he...the australian national team coach.

Its gonna be a major MAJOR culture shock for him, especially when he watches the tape of thursdays game and how you defended.

It's going to take more than Mr Sheens to polish that particular turd.

Re: Marwan Koukash again : Mon Feb 16, 2015 2:26 pm  

It will be interesting to see what changes are implemented following Tim Sheens 3 week review that's for sure.

Bye bye Iestyn?

Probably the best thing he can do is get rid of that over hyped coach. In our League why do certain coaches develop high reputations despite having such a poor record? First thing he should of done was set on the best coach his money could of bought and then let him do the rest.

He'll certainly brighten the mood around Salford - he's a laugh a minute...
