Dr Koukash can rest easy now.If he made one mistake it may have been the appointment of Brian Noble.

Some of the allegations made towards him during his short time in the sport would be that he signed 'mercenaries'.

It now appears that some of those players are heading to Leigh,so the allegations can be diverted.

Theo Fages is no longer involving himself in a tribunal and is leaving Salford.

It seems Dr Koukash has dealt with something of a player revolt more than adequately with a minimum of fuss and publicity,bar the need to defend his good name.

Oh,and without police involvement.

Dealing with the modern player does seem to be problematic.How are things at Wakefield?

The suggestion that Salford 'may' have made one mistake is hilarious.

- Umpteen players and coaches wanting to leave before their contracts have ended.

- A chairman using inappropriate language at a press conference & on social media.

- Plenty of CCJs

- Plenty of visits from the bailiffs

- Empty headed promises of short term success.

running a professional sport club does seem problematic for Salford.

I do that with you so as not to get dragged in to a 30 page quote-a-bore-off-a-move-the-goal-posts-when-losing-a-thon.

Still, if you really do want to debate the merits of our record breaking Sky TV deal & the recently announced, continued coverage of the challenge cup & international games on the BBC -vs- signing with Netflix, Eurosport, BT or Google TV deal then i'm more than happy to oblige. Only one of us will come out of that one looking like we're lacking any intellect and as usual when "debating" with you, that won't be me.

Yet there they are finishing higher in the Qualifiers than Widnes who have had the low profile - Stobart connected owner - and the respected Salford-born coach since before they were given their Super League position courtesy of Licensing;indeed the Widnes club epitomizes all that is perfect with the Licensing system.
For all the rumours of non-payment to players there are more players staying than wanting to go;apparently.

With all the debts to service,and wantaway players to contend with,having the local council not renege on agreements,Dr K appears to have been kept slightly busy and the CEO seems to have missed some bills to pay.

Unorthodox,certainly,but Dr K remains,and the club remains,despite what I believe are termed 'haters'.

Perhaps the critics could try running a professional rugby league club and report back on their findings?
I do suspect that Dr K has found a vast difference between those involved in racing and those involved in rugby league - and between those who do and those who comment on it.

I see. When MK said Salford would finish top 4 / top 6 he really meant to say that three years in the aim was actually to finish above Widnes Wow, why didn't he say so

The following remain so?:

- Umpteen players and coaches wanting to leave before their contracts have ended.

- A chairman using inappropriate language at a press conference & on social media.

- Plenty of CCJs

- Plenty of visits from the bailiffs

- Empty headed promises of short term success.

Our sport is far from perfect but it deserves much better than this.

There is no doubt to put it mildly he has made a lot of mistakes. Does that mean he is not afforded the chance to put it right and run the club the way it should be? Sheens has been a calming influence and the club seems to be heading in the right direction. Only time will tell what he manages to achieve at Salford.

I'd rather wish them luck for the future than criticise the past.

The likes of Caddick and Moran would be in crisis if their wealth dropped to the level of beaumont.

Though apparently Caddick might well be going that way with the amount Heatherington is apparently embezzling from him.

It isnt the distant past...its the recent past and present.

Has Sheens stopped all ccj / baliff activity?

Harris parted company only a few weeks ago.

Around a week ago MK compared the CEO of summer rugby's most successful club to a prostitute.

A few days ago several senior 'in contract' players have been released en masse.

Other disputes are ongoing.

MK can do what he wants. It does not mean others cannot find these events pathetic.
