If I was a Salford fan, not sure how I would feel with this bloke, all I hear is KouCASH's name everywhere. Is it good publicity for the club or is it one man getting a major ego trip. Really hope it works out but the guy needs to pull the reins in and get working hard as all the publicity is about him and not really about the club.
He may be trying to raise the profile of the club around the world with his antics, but at this rate he will become the new Max Clifford or Dave Whelen who are on the TV more than there clients and club.

Delighted because if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have a club, end of. Go worry about your own club

Don't need to worry about my own club our sugar Daddy has put his money run the club and left it to the team. As I said hope it works but lots of empty promises as yet. Any news on the 6 signings??

Can't stand the bloke. His constant stamping of feet if he doesn't get his way with the RFL is becoming abhorrant. He should have been brought to task after his comment regarding other clubs breaking the salary cap. I hope he gets done for tapping players up as well. Vile A hole of a man.

Although I read it on 'TheSun' site, he was quoted to be saying Salford will be top 4 next season

Yet another thread about us, Koukash obviously has people rattled/worried!!!

Who'd have thought little old Salford could drum up this much bitterness from other Super League fans, keep it coming I say

there's something not quite right about the whole thing imo. has shades of the david lloyd era at hull fc and we know how that ended up. fair play he 'saved' salford but i worry about the long term. should at least be interesting and give them some much needed publicity

He is brash, confident and business savy, he is the type of figure the sport has been looking for, for years. He speaks his mind, and if he doesn't like something, he will say so. This rattles a lot of cages with the 'traditional' supporters who want to keep the game in the dark ages. We need more people like him involved with the sport. People with ambition. If only clubs like London, Wakefield, Castleford or Hull KR had a chairman/owner with the funds, business acumen & ambition, that he does, those clubs may not be on their .

100% spot on. He's been a breath of fresh air and I hope (and expect) he'll go on to do great things for Salford.

The three most important areas for RL to progress in are Salford / Manchester, London and France.

Although I can't stand the word being used in response to something, it's the only thing I can think to say in response to other teams' fans constantly moaning about him:

Obsessed

He doesn't print the stories, the media do. As he's a bit of a character, they've been giving him more coverage.

Some of the bitter comments I've read on here and Twitter, etc over the last couple of months have been embarrassing.

How often do I read rugby league fans on here bemoaning the fact that the sport's dead, there's no money in the game, the game can't get any publicity.

Along comes Dr Koukash and saves a Super League club from certain oblivion with a major cash injection, gets plenty of PR for his new club & the game in general and has ambitions to turn the perennial strugglers into contenders/winners.

Lo & behold, right on cue fans re-appear on here to moan about him and describe him as "a vile hole of a man" and to laugh at his ambition.

Will all the other multi-millionaires who want to subject themselves to this level of gratitude from fans of our sport please form an orderly queue at Red Hall please.

Why? What is so special about Salford or London?

Both are RL deserts and will never grow attendances above 2K or so.

That would be including the years they both have had with attendances above 2K im guessing?

'Abhorrent' he was called earlier in the thread (I'd save words like that for events in Syria) and a Widnes fan on twitter recently said if he could kill one person and get away with it, it would be Koukash. Hopefully, Hemmings & co will bring stuff like this up next time he's telling us about the great rugby league family, HA!

Does he not have several businesses that had gone to the wall?

I can't say I'm a big fan of his PR style, but he's obviously earned the right to do it his way; I hope his big promises for Salford become reality - it would be good for the game.

Why so many people are getting wound up is beyond me; perhaps the vitriol from the Castleford fan in this thread is more to do with frustration at their own situation than any genuine grievance with what the brash new kid on the block has said or done?

Keep hoping B2K old lad. Keep hoping.

Changing Chief Execs every 3 months "by mutual agreement" doesn't seem like a particularly "business savvy" way to run any organisation.

2 in 20+ years buddy. Don't go over the top will you!!

Keep hoping what? I'm not having a go in particular, just pointing out that Cas have had a frustrating time recently - I'm sure that if a brash, outspoken Castleford fan won the Euromillions next week and started pump-priming the club for greatness, you'd have a different view of the situation. I know I would.

Ever stopped to think the replacement might just be a better option the guy named on Monday has worked in business development for over twenty years and Ed Farish has done exactly what he did at the Gold Coast Titans when they had financial problems IE went in turned the club around and moved on.

And that examplifies everything that is wrong with the game at the moment. SL is turning into a league full of clubs with their own Abromovich's. The single ownership model will eventually kill the game stone dead.

For all his talk I'd like to see him actually achieve something, like sign a decent player or two! A strong Salford will be good for SL, if he can deliver it and more importantly make the business sustainable for when he gets bored and leaves we shall see.

At a recent fans meeting Koukash said we'll have to keep the players we have this year as player contracts have made it near enough impossible for him to bring anyone in, were looking at upto 10 players, four have signed for next year but (for a change) is keeping quiet until August the 9th where he will announce the signings we've made, he said he's keeping quiet In Respect of their current clubs and wouldn't see it respectful to announce at this stage in the season.
