We so need the enthusiasm of someone like Dr Koukash, that seems to be injecting into Salford reports today “Last weekend’s open day was an enormous success – the fans and people who are possibly new to both the club and rugby league turned out in droves.

“From morning until mid afternoon, there was a regular flow of people coming in to the stadium to find out more about Salford.

“It never stopped. The club shop took in one day half of what it took for an entire season last year.

That is just what we need!

I think they work if significant funds are invested. I don't think very many people would take Koukash very seriously if he hadn't got people like Noble and Morley onboard.

that's just childish if they are the reasons communications have dried up.

We all accept that we can't expect to know the financials or terms of agreements, but an update...no matter how "generic" would at least keep the few fans we have feeling they are still a part of something....

Exactly - communication is a concept totally alien to Gus.
Any relationship needs words between the interested parties. Sadly now the only words relevant would be
too little -too late.
