well put
I have raised this issue on the forum at least twice since he took over the club, the post he puts on are embarrassing. He can put what he wants on social media if that's how he see it but don't then block individuals who don't actually agree with you.'"
The thing is, he can do just that if he wants. Agree with it, or not, it doesn't matter.
My personal view on everything social media is one of apathy. I think there's great opportunity for Clubs to use it to real advantage, but none of them do. Why aren't Clubs sticking great moments/Skills/Hits onto Vine? Where they'll be seen and shared quicker, easier, and effectively than on Youtube or Vimeo? And that's just one gripe.
As far as MK and Vickers having an online presence it sometimes works but often is just an irrelevance. Something for RL fans to glance at for a titbit of nonsense, and nothing more. When MK puts positive things on Twitter like his Prescott horse, few are bothered. If he has a bottle of wine and writes something stupid it's the talking point for weeks. A sad reflection of societies obsessions and priorities in my opinion. A bit like this thread really. MK and the Club account block a user and it's pages of pointless diatribe of the woes and positives of doing so. My opinion on the matter means little as I don't really care for this side of the Sport, and at the end of the day, people can choose to do what they want.
'Oh no! Someone blocked me on Twitter!'
Is not the same as...
'Oh no! Someone's run me over and shattered my pelvis!'
If people can't see the scale of 'outrage' on display within social media, and how people love to get outraged at the drop of a hat over things that are not important. There's little hope for the future. Sure, I feel a bit sad for the person involved but it's hardly the end of the world is it? The mock outrage of others leaves a particularly poor taste in the mouth.

| It's in the clubs best interests to have harmony amongst it's diehard supporters and my suggestion would be to sit down and resolve it. The situation has become a little embarrassing for the club. Why not ask the person in question to consider making a public apology for any offence caused by the article and move on?
The clubs actions could be interpreted by some as either childish, stubborn or egotistical and that's not a very good image to portray to your customers/potential customers.
I am not on anyone's side here, it just needs resolving for the benefit of the club, not individuals.

I have nothing to do with this person but I have seen a letter made public on social media apologizing to MK if they had offended the club & MK himself, the reply back to this person was short & to the point. This is basically why this debate as started & all it does if give the club negative press when we are trying to move the club forward.
Butcher, I agree social media as become the new lynch mob where you can rent a mob to spill out all the vermin you like. I have it set for rugby league up dates, overall it as a positive benefit, however again what is being played out over social media is only hurting the club I care about.

Picking social media to decry other social media users and choices seems another odd choice.

It works both ways surely? You could say if it's not important why have the club made a deliberately bold step of blocking a diehard supporter from the clubs Twitter account?

I don't disagree. I don't think it's important either way.

| I disagree with the official club twitter blocking said individual, regardless of the owners thoughts towards her.
That said, I don’t blame Koukash at all for blocking her from his private account. This all stemmed from that pathetic article and whilst I have no personal axe to grind I must admit from the tweets I have read she holds herself in extremely high regard. Infact only recently I see she called said article “balanced and insightful”. Crazy.
Rather than moaning about the initial issue with Marwan, why not just continue with her flourishing RL journalism career alongside supporting Salford like the rest of us “mere mortals” have to do? I am sure we would all loved to be involved in the club in some form, but unless you’re professionally qualified to do so with the necessary experience then it shouldn’t happen.
It’s been going on for near on 12 months now, let it go….

| If someone knows the owner of the club has a dislike for them and dislikes the ownership why desire too work with/for the club again.
I'm shocked this is all still about the article written around a year or so ago, I was sure something else had been written.
As someone else said, just move on.

Over twelve months.
You've resurrected a thread and topic that was dead and buried just to cause mischief. You only ever pop-up to create negativity wherever you land. You failed at cutting and pasting other peoples work so I'm not surprised your bitter and lazy posts are all that you have.
Sad little man.

So I believe.
As I said over 12 months ago though unless you're professionally qualified with necessary experience you shouldn't be holding positions within a professional sports club regardless of the position. That said I have no idea what position she is taking up and whether or not she is adequately experienced. I assume she has been appointed on the back of the many photoshop graphics that she has tweeted and I therefore assume her job title is "Graphic Designer"?
One thing is for sure as a die hard fan like the rest of us I am sure she will give 110% and work far more hours than she will be paid for (assuming she is being paid that is!).
PS - it also shows just how embarrassing it was of the official clubs Twitter account to block her.

Give it a rest Paul.
You are Louise being good 'Twitter Fwends' means you were bound to never look at this objectively.
For the rest of us we have every right to scrutinise the club and whilst I think she is a nice person I'm with JGR on this one and question her role.

| JGR, while I agree with your conclusion it does seem to be at odds with your post about Iain Blease.
In this thread you say that the Club shouldn't employ anyone who isn't professionally qualified or without the necessary experience. Yet on the Blease thread you think it's great that the Club has employed someone without any qualifications or experience as a CEO. Just wondering about that.
I'm not having a go btw, just an observation.

I agree with you JGR. I'm sure Louise is a nice person but just because she can design a poster on Microsoft Paint doesnt mean she should be employed by the club.
Koukash's entire reign has been marred by him appointing the wrong people in the wrong positions Vickers, Harris, Puletua, Noble etc. He will admit this himself.
To me this stinks of Koukash trying to buy himself some more time with fans by appointing one of the most vocal. From what I can gather she has spent the majority of the past 2 years vocally criticisng him and likewise he has her. Now however Koukash is bigging up her job on twitter and the impression I get is that she is going to be in charge of marketing the club!?
Questions have to be asked of what experience she has of this. At the end of the day it us, the season ticket holders, who will be paying her salary. It is only right we question this appointment.

I've never met the girl, so well done on your expert research. You're not even a Salford fan. Why do you even bother coming on here and do nothing but spread negativity?
There's nothing wrong with scrutinising the Club. I've hardly been some bastion of positivity when the Club does things wrong it's just that all you do, and I mean everything you do, is negative on here.
I don't see the point in resurrecting a thread that's 12 months old to simply cause mischief when the incidents talked about have happened, passed, been healed and moved on.
Something you should do yourself.

Good luck to louise & every other Salford supporter who is given a chance to try & make a positive difference within the Salford club. I am sure if we all agreed with each other life would be pretty boring. Ian Watson as shown on a professional level what it meant to him, maybe some of this as rubbed off on MK.
Giving supporters the chance to make a difference can only be good for the club, we tried everything else.
Finally I would like to see a network like forever reds back again, for me in the hey day they made a significant contribution which cannot be underestimated.

As an outsider looking in,if you are a news reporter in an earlier life,the beautifully ironic appointment of Eccles born Nigel Roberts is by far the most controversial appointment.
If he can do 2 jobs at 2 different places is he worthy of a full time salary from the RFL?
Whatever paper qualifications are required for the position given to Louise there ain't nobody at any club who has the enthusiasm and devotion to their club as she has for Salford Red Devils.Just as enthusiasm and devotion on the pitch covers up many technical faults her enthusiasm makes up for a lack of academic qualifications.
I am not one for criticising Dr Koukash but I did think he was hyper-sensitive about the article written by Louise which made the RLW,if I recall correctly.
Understandable I suppose given the ridiculous over-the-top abuse Dr K endures from the 'rugby league family'.
Despite the complaints Louise has received - from fans attending away games that she has not attended etc.etc. she has kept on being positive and rallying the troops behind the cause,and sending positive vibes to players and fans on a consistent and regular basis despite she herself,health-wise, being under the weather to very ill.You cannot buy that type of support.
Name me another supporter anywhere who has her energy levels,and eats sleeps and drinks their club,in a similar way Louise does for Salford Red Devils? Not only prepared to walk the walk but she certainly knows how to talk the talk.
Good luck Salford.Continue being controversial for all the right reasons.( I still can't quite believe your last game.)
If you are not allowed to do the job then you cannot gain experience.Having an opinion and being critical means you care sufficiently to have an opinion and be critical.
