| Love him or hate him, he has been proven correct on:
1 he was only person who voted against TV deal with Sky
2. He wanted a 1 up one down league
3. He told truth about Kevin Locke
He may be brash, he may be a muppet but he is correct on many things. Kevin Locke lost his case so I look forward to all those who posted blaming MK to post an apology.
Doubt Locke will say sorry for lies he told, but who knows.

1. Was he? I think Ian Lenagan voted against it and it's only us keyboard warriors who reckon it was a bad deal.
2. I don't agree with the 888's but one up one down has been done and dusted. It failed before and it would fail again.
3. So basically 1 out of 3....

| 1. What's wrong with the SKY deal and how has he been proven correct?
2. How has he been proven correct that a 1 up 1 down league would be better? Super 8s have been great and will only get better.
3. Well done on telling the truth to your club's fans for a change Marwan, the game needs more people like you etc..
And no he's not correct on many things, he's a an egotistical moron.

You are clueless.
Several clubs opposed the sky deal. Salford being one the the least influential.
In terms of seeking to influence the development of the game do you know which club has by far the worst attendance record at SL and RFL policy meeting, rarely turning up.
You may brown nose MK as much as you like. As someone who loves the family nature of our sport I am sick of this running sore in Salford.

And in one statement, you've summed why RL will always be a minority sports in the UK. 10 more MK in the sport and the sponsership and calibre of players would increase ten fold. While hopefully RFL keeping their egos and sometimes good sometimes bad avenues to grow the sport, in check.

| The TV deal was a great deal and a terrible deal. It allowed Mr Wood to mortgage the games future on this new system. It allowed him to buy off the clubs who were opposed and force it through. It gave him a bit of breathing space.
It also limited any real growth in the game for nigh on a decade, it stopped us from seeing any rise in tv money for nearly a decade. It's clear that it isn't enough to make this system work. And we are now behind the 8 ball over the next.6 years where there is going to be major upheaval in the industry
If there was true confidence in this new system, then the TV deal was a crazy thing to sign. If the expectation was that this new structure was to be a raving success then we would be negotiating next year with BT, eurosport, Google, Netflix and everyone else wanting a piece of a popular sport with an innovative and successful new structure and the value goes up hugely.
As it is we have signed a deal where best case scenario we don't see any benefit for 7 years. Worst case scenario when the next deal is up for negotiation we are needing a new structure have fewer SL level clubs and we have to take whatever offer we get.

I'm here for you're Locke comment... I slated MK for his treatment towards Locke on social media from start to finish and that still stands... Just because KL has lost the tribunal does not mean that MK told the truth, and it certainly does not excuse MK's social outburst and witch hunt of the young man, regardless of his recent off field troubles

Yeah I wish all clubs could lose £5 million a year, have numerous tribunals brought by players and struggle on the field. Don't tell me...we're just jealous.

I would guess that Dr Koukash suffers far more on social media than Kevin Locke has or ever will do.
Kevin Locke made scurrilous allegations about Marwan Koukash which necessitated a press conference to rebut.
[url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/33224710HERE[/url
The state of mind of Locke has to be questioned when he,in a best case scenario,endangered himself by getting into a car driven by a drunken driver and not only that,endangered the pulchritude of Ms Pitman,by allowing her to accompany him.
To credit Tim Smith,he left Salford without complaint - Hock left under strange circumstances.Chase has apparently wanted to leave since June and Theo appears to have a club lined up that may be unwilling to pay a transfer fee so opted for the tribunal option.
If anybody out there wants to prove to me that Dr K is the worst ogre on 2 legs,please do so.
Details of his naughtiness on social media to Kevin Locke would do,for a start.It'll have to be better than discrediting a man who surrounds himself with the great and good in rich society and who has children of school attending age who may have been subject to bullying if unfortunate enough to attend a school where the pupils/parents are followers of rugby league.

| The best thing to happen to Marwan K and Salford is Tim Sheens. There has been a noticeable difference in how MK has behaved in public since Sheens has been at Salford.
If MK continues as he has been recently rather than his publicity seeking beginning he could actually deliver what he promised at the start.
Whatever has happened in the past is gone. It's what happens in the future that's important. MK can be a huge asset to our sport as we don't have many owners with the financial clout to bankroll a club.

And in one statement you demonstrate the toe curling ignorance of some Marwan fans Ten more marwans?! There are already many very wealthy people in the sport such as Lenegan, Caddick, Moran, Davy etc.
Looking at these wealthy owners -
* None of them have broadcast press conferences using bad language
* None of them have had four (?) different coaches for the first team in under 3 seasons
* None have had a large number of ongoing ccjs / baliff visits / player contract disputes
* All of then have businesses registered in the Uk and are VAT registered in the UK
If you are concerned about egos damaging the game you ought to look closer to home.

The owners have put small fortunes into their clubs. None of them receive paychecks from RL. Are you kidding? Try and check a few facts.
The suggestion that we need ten more clubs run like salford is the biggest joke yet.

Lenagan voted for it then changed his mind and said it was a "dreadful commercial decision" after the deal had already gone through, in a nutshell.

| to be fair to Lenegan was given an hour to decide and told that if the deal wasn't taken there and then, it wouldn't be on the table any longer.
That deal being the one Sky approached the RFL with, and the RFL took nigh on £30m from.
