I hope they don't arrive by parachute. They're injury prone as it is.

Devils v Saints sounds much better but will it make us all sinners?

Can't wait to see the new logo.

It's a great move. We can't afford to sit on our hands. The team will realistically take years to improve to the extent we are challenging for honours, even regular top 8 finishes. In the meantime let's do everything else that can be done to improve the club with immediate cash injections and some proper business acumen: more comprehensive backroom staff and conditioners, better merchandising, improved matchday experience, Junior Devils, etc, etc.

Since the good Dr took over we have seen massive change. Other than Long leaving can anyone suggest a single negative to what has been tried and achieved? Vive la Revolution!

Bring back the Red Hot Flames please!

Whatever happened to the Red Hot Flames?

I can only congratulate Dr Koukash on the timing of this.
Just as we reach the nadir with 2 consecutive heavy defeats we now have the coaching staff installed,new branding, and the optimism of new signings to strengthen the squad.
Not only that,he has made the very important addition of making it known how he valued the top class support the players were given from the magnificent followers on Sunday.
This must have given a huge lift to everyone as we now aim for 2 consecutive wins for the first time in 2013.


On another forum someone has hinted that this 'Red Devils' branding may alienate any potential new soccer supporters on the blue side from giving rugby league a go.Any thoughts ?

Master stroke by the Dr, you can buy a club, you can buy a team, but you can not buy heritage. He has recognised this and moved quickly to remind us of our halcyon days, get the marketing machine behind it now and push it for all it is worth. Has won the fans hearts with this in my opinion.

Well I'm a season ticket holder at Salford and Manchester City and it has no bearing on me whatsoever. There might be perhaps 5% of people who are stupid enough to avoid supporting a local RL team based on their name, but if thats the case then so be it.
