Maybe the operational rule that refer clubs to making approaches to players contracted to other clubs,

the ones that do not say it's OK to encourage a player to try to get his contract cancelled and when that fails get him to plead homesickness.

dont all the rules not say it isnt ok to encourage a player to try to get his contract cancelled and when that fails get him to plead homesickness?

How about Hetherington stating that the governing body was/is [url=http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2011/aug/01/strike-crusaders-rflImpotent and Anonymous?[/url

It doesn't seem to be couched in humorous terms and there is no suggestion that the members of the press were as amused as they were listening to Dr K speak.

Not prejudicial to the game,though.



No suggestion of victimization against the owner of Salford Red Devils,of course.

Did either of the statements you link to above include dropping the f-bomb? We're a family game and just because Salfords owner wants to be one of the lads there is no place for that language in comments from anyone professionally connected to the game!

Yep. But oh no, it's poor old Salford being picked on!

Wont somebody please think of the Children? He said a swear FFS!

We are a family game. I swear more than most people, but I don't have to answer to sponsors who expect all aspects of my company to reflect their values.......Heinz want to promote Big Soup....not f$&ing big soup!

Koucash doesnt work for the RFL

Nope....but his club is a member of the organisation which the RFL represent and anything that he says or does publicly that could be seen as detrimental to that organisation will be dealt with...as it has been here.

If he doesn't like the rules, why doesn't he organise a breakaway league where he and his mates can sign all the Burgess clan and get upset when the stadiums are still 60% empty......

What is it about SL fans in greater Manchester?

Wigan fans gave a very similar reaction to any criticism of Sam Tomkins as Salford fans are giving over the mad doctor.

Must be something in the water.

It's not even criticism.......the majority of fans like the Dr and his attitude but he's got to learn that sometimes, shouting the loudest and swearing won't win you the argument. He's on the naughty stair now....and he's still having a pop at Knock down Nigel......if he's not careful, he'll be sent to bed with no tea

I wonder if he's reached down the back of the sofa and found his £1k fine money yet.



I also see his wife is close to submitting a bid to takeover the Bulls, that's another vote secured for the marquee rule. Should be in sooner rather than later.

You see from where that his wife is close to buying the Bills?

If the RFL allow him to buy 2 clubs then they will be in court with a bigger opponent that bed-man moore pretty sharpish....they ripped IL's shares In London off him without batting an eyelid....if they now say dual ownership is cool....then he (and david hughes) will be all over them like scabies.

From what I understand it's not just his wife it's another 2 businessmen going in with her, come on if saving another SL club PROPERLY is a bad thing we might Aswel just pack up and go home now.

The Hetheringtons did it didn't they?



Either way, I feel it's a good thing to have more stability in the game.

The hetherington's are just employees of Leeds / Wakey, they don't own any shares do they?



Is Mrs Koukash independently wealthy, or is it just the Doc's cash "she" will be investing? Either way, clearly a massive conflict of interests and I am sure the RFL will do whatever they can to stop it happening.

There is no problem - Marwan isnt bidding - there is no conflict at all. Hope it comes off/

From what I was reading on twitter 2 businessmen from a company called ascot are going in with her so it will be nothing to do with Marwan.

I looked at the Leeds accounts a couple of years ago and IIRC Hetherington did own some shares but only very few. Caddick is by far the major and majority owner.

MjM might know more, he often seems up to date on the Leeds accounts.



There was quite a clear separation between Leeds and Hull though, as long as there is an obvious separation between Salford and Bradford then I don't see why anyone would complain.

I must imagine the swearing that goes on at every rugby league game I ever see, then. "Ooh, ooh, naughty words!" You'll be telling us all he's meant to be a role model for kids, next.



This thread's hilarious. Yes, some Salford fans do get a bit precious these days, but the attitude from some of the non-Salford fans on here is brilliant. If it all does go tits up eventually, I'll take solace in the fact that 95% of this forum will be masturbating themselves into a frenzy.

You can't possibly think using the f-word at a press event is acceptable.

You can play the victim card if you want but it just makes Salford fans look even more insecure.

Nothing to do with MarwanK at all.......no really it isn't.... honestly........I mean why would he want Bradford when he has Salford. ...
