He seems to have gone for the cheap option with the logo and shirt designs.

not really its seems very thought out toward franchising, it would take a genius to market the design or name.

The story about the Good Dr is more about property development than RL........meanwhile, there's a bloke from Swinton who has invested £13,500,000 in a SL club since 2008 and got not a brass farthing back (nor will he)....that's because he's interested in RL. Good Luck to the Dr, but he is a business man and other than maybe Leeds and possibly Wigan, owning a SL club isn't about getting a ROI.

Koukash doesn't want to make money from Salford. He wants to win things.

He's not going to do that the way he has gone about it. Teams that win things produce their own top quality players. Rather than throwing money at sewage rats like Hock he'd do well to throw money at bringing through young players.

Gutterfax, you do brighten up my day... no matter how bad it gets, I just have to remember that I am not you and it is infinitely better

I think he realizes that.He also realizes that to attract those young players he requires a successful first team,first.

No, no you don't.

Cas - not looked close to a trophy in god knows how many years, but are bringing through some great young players, as well as some of they're former youth team members maturing with the club (like huby)

Warrington - been consistently on the rise for the last 10 years or so, yet to produce any talent of real note.

(To both Warrington and cas fans, this was not a slant at either of your teams, and I don't want to get into a "but this one time" arguments, it is merely a generalised statement)

Success doesn't breed good youth development, good youth development breeds success. I feel like I've said this before
