| Thank goodness it can now be put to bed & everyone can get on with it.
In hindsight I bet Salford wished they had just paid Puletua off.

| if MarwanK put as much passion and effort into growing the Salford brand, or maybe looking for possible different sites for a ground for them to attract more people to the club, instead of a pointless tirade against the RFL, then maybe Salford wouldnt be in this mess

And he said he would accept the decision of the appeal. Another blatant lie.

| On his previous form it probably went along the lines of
Marwan: Give me my points back you b@$t@rds
Tribunal: No chance Marwan you cheated
Marwan: Well f@ck you b@$t@rds, Why do you hate me b@$t@rds? it's not fair, I'll see you b@$t@rds at the next appeal
Tribunal: What a lovely fella

| What I dont understand with him is that, having built a fortune of several $100,000,000, he must know how to get where he wants without being a complete ar$e.
He appears to only go for the "do as I say, or else" approach
Surely a more conciliatory approach would serve him and Salford far better than his current "style".

That applies to most people who run clubs and the game in this county based on that ignorant comment.

I doubt very much he's as rich as some of the estimates suggest. If he was then he would be too busy to play such a hands on role at the club, besides if he was really rich why are there all these issues with payments?

| Well considering Salford deliberately set out to break the cap, thus giving them an unfair advantage, I'd say 6 points and a £5k fine is getting off light. Yes, it means Salford miss out on a top 8 spot this year, but it doesn't present any real threat to their SL status. Given the way the NRL deals with salary cap cheats the Doctor ought to be bloody grateful that Salford will still be in SL next year

Which [iCounty[/i is that then ?
Yorkshire, Lancashire or Cumbria ?
*note, London is irrelevant & therefore does not count on the Salary Cap*

| I missed the start of tonight's Wire v Salford game, *currently Wire 40 Salford 8*, I heard the pundits mention that in an interview at the start of the programme Dr MarwanK would not state whether or not he would be at Salford next year & that he would speak about it with family at the end of the season.
If he chooses to leave Salford/RL then it could have devastating repercussions for the club's future & I hope for Salford's sake that he remains.
*now 40 - 14*

No, no, no. He needs to be persuaded to spend his money and run his club properly. He's the only RL club owner who could drastically change his clubs future if only he would put his ego and attitude to one side.
Stop the obsession with the salary cap.
Spend money on much neglected areas of the club, the club infrastructure.
Spend time/effort/money on securing a better deal for Salford at the stadium including turning it more into a home for Salford rather than just that place they games at.
And stop this pathetic victim mentality/spat re the RFL. They aren't out to get Salford. If Salford stop breaking the rules then the RFL will stop punishing them.
Even better, use his business connections/know-how etc to help the sport gain a bigger media, sponsorship and hospitality profile.
We desperately have to stop working as different organisations all pulling in different directions and start working together as one sport. Koukash is one of the few people in the sport who could, single-handedly, make a difference. If he, along with Lenagan, Moran, McManus, Davy & Caddick all worked together for the collective good of the sport, then everyone would benefit including their individual clubs.
A little bit of a rant, but we should be attempting to get Koukash to amend his ways, not kick him out of the sport.
However, if he does leave, it's entirely of his doing.

All very sensible aims - but he seems to be someone who is not able to rehabilitate himself; christ knows how he's had the success he's claimed to have had in other fields, given that every walk of life has norms, rules and regulations that have to be followed in order to succeed. Most successful people understand that, and find quiet, careful ways to flex, bend and adapt those rules and regulations to their own advantage - MarwanK seems intent on just breaking them, then bragging loudly about the fact that he's done so, then unseating the people who made them in the first place.
He's insufferable and an embarrassment to the sport - and for all his reported wealth, he appears to have done very little to improve Salford's lot; which is a shame.

I don't see how you have come to that conclusion but,of course,you have only ever posted similar about him every time you post.
There isn't any other owner in the sport who has taken on the enormous debts left by a previous regime.
The same individual has spent far more of his money on other things than he has on his alleged efforts to break the salary cap,if the reported figures are correct.
He has the willingness to mix with kings and paupers,and while he appears to dumb down on behalf of those in rugby league there is certainly not the same conduct,or response to him,in the Sport of Kings.
He has also made efforts to involve himself with other clubs which may have benefited rugby league sides Oldham and Swinton.
The improvements at Salford,not only in their standing in Super League,but their profile in this country and abroad,their infrastructure and how they have recovered from earlier failure is pretty remarkable.
Since he involved himself in the CEO role there do not appear to be any more county court cases.That would seem to be an improvement while other clubs in the country face winding-up orders - both in Yorkshire.

| Since you seem to be his unofficial biographer, you obviously have a much greater insight into his daily comings and goings; I, like the vast majority of people involved in RL, base my opinion on his public facing duties as a RL owner and Chairman - and in that regard, he makes a right pillock of himself and drags the sport down. How many other chairmen conduct a personal and foulmouthed feud with the RFL on social media? How many hold a press conference to declare open war on the RFL and launch a bid to bring it down? How many openly and blatantly cheat the salary cap and the operational rules; brag about doing it; then claim innocence, despite two failed opportunities to prove that innocence?
You may love him - but he's a berk who doesn't deserve you.
