I and I know many others have had enough of the Doctor, I will always appreciate what he has done for us but we are a circus, these rumours of players/companies not being paid are a joke we are supposed to be a professional sports club for god sake with a wealthy business man at the helm. The final straw is this latest trauma with Chase and Hansen it's been a privilege to watch these two in our shirt and to think they won't be here next season doesn't bear thinking about.

No decent player will want to play for Koukash not after the way he's treated others and it would not surprise me if we ended up in the Championship next season, why would most of these lads want to keep Salford in Superleague?

Enough is enough, Koukash out.

What's Plan B then ??

Exactly there is none.

I don't care what plan b is, anything is better than this circus I thought it was impossible to get any worse than the Wilky era but my god it has.

I can't see Koukash sticking around anyway, no one in this city will be interested in going to games especially with the way things are and at the end of the day he won't bother staying around with a core of 2,500 home fans, which will probably dwindle as it is.

I'm afraid we're stuck with him for the foreseeable future. Koukash out is effectively calling for the Club to not exist, which is a pretty extreme way to get rid of a problem. So unless you've won the Euro millions it'll have to be put up or shut up. I'm as pished-off as the next Salford fan but we have no other option than to hope that things straighten out. A weeks a long time in sport...

I would like to see a group of supporters get together to discuss the alternatives. I'm more than happy to become involved too, not to force the issue but more to know what our options are incase Koukash decides to walk.

We cant have a repeat of the 2012 Christmas where we didn't know if we would even have a club to support the following month. At least if we as supporters look into our options, we know where we could possibly stand.

PS - Koukash really hasn't got the money he projects, otherwise half of these problems wouldn't be an issue. You only have to read the accounts of his businesses to understand that.

Pretty sure you're right, but for the (alleged) majority of his business you can't get the accounts.

We seem to back to the doom and gloom of the last 30 or so years . Why can't anything run smoothly for Salford ? every other week there is a drama of sorts.
I suspect the Dr, initially ploughed money in, to a certain level then expected the increased attendances to pay for the running of the club. I don't think he has as much money as we are led to believe.

Just wonder if Tim Sheens is bringing in structured experienced players in, while cutting down high earners wage bills. Just hope its onward and upwards otherwise here comes the Championship

Hi John Gilbert Reds, do you work at SRD or have really good contacts there ?. You always seem to hit the nail on the head

I wish I did work there, however I am just an average fan like yourself with some pretty sound contacts in and around the place.

Seriously I'm fed up. I'm resigned to the fact that I will never see a successful Salford RLFC so I'm happy to start again from the bottom. Koukash was our last chance of any success however he has done nothing but lie to us. The man has ripped the soul out of our club, killed it and he is slowly killing my passion. The sooner he packs up the better.

Feel exactly the same, even to the point where if you asked me whether I would renew my ST for next season today I would say no.

HOWEVER... I still think it is too soon to be giving up on Koukash just yet. We all know we've had a disappointing 2 years since he took over (its actually 3 I know, but it’s unfair to count that first season) which has been accumulation of poor coaching appointments and player signings. As a man with zero knowledge of the sport, the first thing Koukash should have done was appoint an experienced Director of Football, Brian Noble would have been far better suited to this role than the day-to-day task of head coach. We’re now 2 years down the line since the “Red Devilution” and we’ve finally got that man and it couldn’t be anyone better to be fair. It’s the best appointment the club have ever made in my 27 years of supporting them.

Tim Sheens cant change was has gone before his arrivial, ie Marwan agreeing to pay players x with side bonuses here and there. Then when he fails to pay this on time, causing a huge fall out. All he can do is work with the effect of that and make a fresh start, hopefully the agreement of players contracts will be left to Sheens. Infact, hopefully everything is left to Sheens and Koukash literally just sits back and signs the cheques as and when. Can I see this working? No, because my experience of MK over the last three seasons is he cant help but get involved.

We have a life line and his name is Tim Sheens, if he can influence Marwan enough we could be OK. It will take a while to repair the damage of the owners actions prior to Tim’s arrival but it can be done. When Sheens leaves, then I’ll be resigned to us needing to start from scratch (again).
