What coaching experience has Kevin Iro got?

Yeah, obviously a poor businessman. Do you run training courses? You could help him out.

Exactly. And when people want to move quickly, sometimes people lose jobs who might not even deserve to. That's true in life, but its especially true in sports management. Vievers might be really hard done by, but he went into sports management by choice, and its the way it is. Haven't heard his response, but I'd hope he's phlegmatic about it and moves on.

From what I've read he's just refused to comment.

Gutted for the guy. He had all the upheaval pre season, all that uncertainty. Then Dr Koukash comes along and he probably thought he was safe for at least the season. However it's clear that the Dr and co have got a strategy they wish to follow and are not afraid to ruffle a few feathers.
I suppose being a Salford supporter who under the old regime indifference and mediocrity were allowed to flourish, along side a sense that SJW always did things with a deep residing respect and morality. It's a situation completely new to us. So we have to have faith in our new owner that his hardline business attitude to this will bring to fruition the things he has stated he wants to do for the club.

He's a former Cook Islands national coach although they failed to qualify for the World Cup while he was in charge.

Really?

FYP.

And the big question, will Steve Simms keep his job once again?

My mistake - Tony not Kevin.

Steve Simms went a couple of weeks ago.

Do please try and keep up with fast moving Salford - from the Reds site:

Reds’ CEO Ed Farish said: ..........."In the last month we have undergone major changes with the departures of Director of Football Steve Simms and Commercial Director Tina Wilkinson.”
............

You shouldn't always assume money = businessman.

No your right. He went from being a penniless refugee from Palestine to millionaire from having a couple of lucky 15's come in

I will repeat again what I said

Look at London as an example

So your bitterness that London has basically failed means that Salford and Dr Koukash inparticular are destined to fail also.
Everything you type is just steeped in Jealousy and what seems a perverse dislike of the Dr.

Who does this koukash think he is? Utter dick, Salford mean nothing and never will. Lets all laugh at koukash

Hull Fc mean nothing to everyone apart from Hull FC so your shortsited comment mean all!

Salford might not exist with Dr Koukash i hope it works out for him.

And don't get me started on your hooli I mean fans!

I think Salford have the potential to be a Chelsea of rugby league. Is that good or bad news for the game? Will there be anymore foriegn investors or benefactors? Is there a potential for a smaller version Premier League? Koukash has been good for bringing more marketing to the game, but seeing him on pitch at the end of the HKR game and sacking Vievers already. I would be worried as a Salford supporter that the doc's ego is a lot larger than the club. Anyway look forward to watchin the Salford circus!!!! Can the clowns become the trapeze artists!!!!

On which basis, let's put a big advert in the press telling anyone with money to stay away from Rugby League. It'll only cause problems. Proof: it hasn't always been used smartly.

Just say no to money - we're doing just fine as we are.

Where there's money there's media. We need a bit of soap opera. Provided the guy is good for the dosh, it's good for the game. The fact that he [iis[/i getting so involved is what makes this [imor[/ie encouraging. Lenegan at Wigan got stuck in and made big changes to the club for the better, and not just money. Different personalities, different ways no doubt, but money combined with a passion to make it work is all good. He'll make mistakes, and get lots right. None of us will actually know which is which until after the events pan out. If you make brave moves you always risk looking like a genius or an idiot, but I'd rather have something actually going on as at Salford, than just muddling along as usual.

Is this koukash building you a new ground as the 1 sided one you have at the moment is a joke.

The choice of new coach will say a LOT about whether Koukash is the real deal. Get the right coach in place and players will start to look at Salford very differently.

Somebody mentioned Warrington and how long it took to turn things around - how much quicker would it have been had they got the right coach sooner?
