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.

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.
Further proof, as if it was needed, that you really are living on a different planet to the rest of us.

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.
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.

No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent.
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 problem with marwan he scares the poop out of the penny pinching chairmen who don't want to spend any money on there teams and are happy collecting there paychecks each year let's have another 10 marwans and there money in our game,let's have the best players in the world playing over here but you clowns like small time mentality
