Among his many other talents Koukash also appears to have written his own Wikipedia page



What is difficult to understand is why a self proclaimed top notch businessman with a self worth of between $900million and $3billion (thats a big range Marwan, can you narrow it down a bit, maybe be a bit more accurate or do your assets fluctuate daily by 300% or so), why this ace businessman cannot run a sporting club like a business, because thats what it is.

I have run my own business and anyone else who does the same knows that you have three things to watch, your income and your expenses and the most important your ego, don't go signing a lease on that £80,000 Mercedes "because you deserve it" when your profits are turning into losses.

So you have a business with a fairly static income, a known income and a potential to increase that income by offering a good product, but your baseline is covered by a donation from sponsors every year which is something that not many businesses have the luxury of - where do you fook up so badly when you start from that point ?

The ego kicks in, thats how.

He won't come clean over Harris until after he's certain that his courtship of Brian McDermott as replacement coach has paid off.

Jack Fulton and Steve O'Connor. You can't remember their names because they're not publicity-hungry maniacs. They're also probably wealthier than Koukash.

Thought the MEN column was quite restrained by his standards though, and puts a line under it. It had probably been through quite a few revisions before it got to press...

Yep. They just get on with running or overseeing the running of their respective clubs.


I think it was restrained in terms of having a go at McDermott, probably because McDermott is well respected in the game, but it still turns virtually the whole article into the Marwan Koukash show, yet again, rather than the Salford Red Devils.

The majority of that article should be given over to Salford issues, not Marwan issues, with a mention of the McDermott comments if he wanted.

Not to mention the fact it's not really an article but a random collection of almost 1 line sentences.

That seems to be something of a house style on the MEN when it comes to RL stuff. It looks incredibly clunky and amateurish with very little flow to it and makes the reader work hard to stick with it and get to the end of the article (which is where a chunk of the advertising sits on most sites).

And now Theo Fages has quit the club after a breach of contract by the club towards him.

As per the club and Doctor are saying they've done nothing wrong and refuse Fages resignation. Suppose it's all a coincidence and false these contract disputes the club is experiencing.
