I have tried mildly in the past to defend the good doctor on the basis of him bringing new money into the game.
But after his comments on twitter aimed at us and sinfield I give up .
This after his latest expression of love for Aussie rugby and his aspirations to buy into Aussie rugby.
Pehraps he should make salford a success before moving on to other clubs. If you recall his or his wife's attempt to buy the bulls turned out to be a damp squib.
I suspect he may not have as much money as he makes out. Also his comments prior to sinfields hearing does not help anyone.

Wrong !!!

There is money and money, is he in the russian oligarch class I suspect not. Is he a rich man obviously .

I don't do twitter....what's he said this time?

Comments between him and i presume his wife . Says whats the difference between running in and a head butt, reply was, depends on which club it is and who owns it.
Not very dignified for a club owner .

What a tool. I suppose the main difference in this case is whether the "someone" was a player or a referee.

I'm not a fan of the man. He thinks money solves everything. But yet, he is still a Twonk. Spend some money there K0ckr@sh!

A Rhino 'running in' with his head... Just like Rhinos do in the wild! Maybe that is why - being true to the natural world. Hehe!

If the doctor is as rich as he makes out, he needs to pay someone to help put a smile on his face - always looks like he has downed a bottle of Jif lemon (or is it Cif now?) and has a wasp stuck in his mouth...

Makes a change he is normally blaming Eamon Mcmanus OR Nigel Wood for everything.
Basically he is loaded with a big gob who throws his teddys out whenever he doesn't get his own way.
Pearson started the same way but has piped down it may take a while but Dr Gob will be gone eventually or at the very least STFU when he realises he can't buy success or even crowds.

How is the Doctor trying to buy success? He’s only allowed to spend the same as everyone else. All he has done is make Salford competitive again, after countless years of just keeping afloat and spending the bare minimum. PS - I see the OP failed to mention Koukash also said this wasn't about Kevin Sinfield, he adds KS is a fantastic person and a real professional who he loves to watch. Seems Mr Hetherington is also being quite vocal on the RFL and it's inconsistencies www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/ru ... -1-6742084

He "LOVES" Rugby League but doesn't want to stick to the rules. It's only a matter of time before he breaks the rules beyond the limits the RFL will take. So, YES, he does want to buy success. The only thing stopping him are the RFL.

Depends which way you look at it, I see Marwan as coming to the table with ideas (which others aren’t I might add) which see’s Super League’s top talent retained. The player drain to the NRL and Union if it continues can only weaken the competition. Whether it’s a marquee allowance or something else, I hope as a competition in future we are able to hold on to our talented youngsters like Chris Ashton, Joel Tomkins, Kyle Eastmond, Sam Tomkins, James Graham, Sam Burgess and George Burgess. In addition to this when was the last time Super League attracting a genuine world class player from either the NRL or Union? Again, that was the Doctor bringing Kevin Locke over but before that I’m struggling to think of any (infact I would probably have to go back to 2009 when Leeds signed Danny Buderus).

Yes Marwan Koukash is rich and such a ruling would benefit him and Salford, but it would also benefit Leeds, Wigan, Saints, Hull FC, Warrington etc. It might even force other clubs to think outside the box and obtain additional sponsors to cover such a ‘marquee’ signing.

As RL fans we like to moan that the sport isn’t growing, but then mock when people come up with ideas. I’d much rather the SL chairmen get around the table, start with the marquee allowance as a starter and develop the idea into one that everyone agrees would benefit the sport and competition.

I'll be very surprised if Dr Kashcow has any interest in Super League at all in 18 months from now.

He thinks he can pour a boat load of cash into any club and the trophy cabinet will automatically fill up. When he realises that all the dosh he's splashed will return zip, he'll take his gold plated bat & ball somewhere else.

I suspect people will still be saying this in 18 months!!!

I suspect that you'll be wrong.

K0ckr@sh is only interested in one thing......................K0ckr@sh. Fame for himself. As RL Fans we don't want it going back to the 1980s or worse, turning into Soccer. We aren't as Big as the NRL and until there's 12-24 K0ckr@sh's running about in the British Game, the Salary Cap stays as it is. Smaller clubs won't be able to survive, only big clubs and small clubs with Rich Owners.

I don’t buy that. Why wont smaller clubs survive? We’ve had franchising for the last however many years, that didn’t help smaller clubs like Salford and Wakefield from nearly going bankrupt, look at Bradford and London this year too. Whether there is a marquee allowance or not, badly run clubs will always face difficulty regardless. An increase of some description in salaries would attract bigger and better players to the competition, which in turn will generate more interest, which snowballs into bigger crowds, more sponsors, more revenue and so on.

Also, why would MK want fame for himself? He is already a multi-millionaire with a reported wealth of circa $900m. He was very well known in the racing circles before he bought Salford too. RL isn’t exactly the type of sport to propel you to fame either.

Can you imagine what debt he would leave Salford in if he went? Not only would he want his 'investment' back, but they would have to fund the players wages for the remaining contract time. You'd be able to hear that pop in space!

Why are people so obsessed with Koukash leaving and Salford failing? I remember people doing the same with Manchester City and Chelsea when they shook things up in the Premier League. Countless trophies and millions later, their 'foreign' owners are still there.

Its worth noting that the marquee exemption has been pushed by Leeds and Gary Hetherington for years.

Its also worth noting that one of the first things Gary Hetherington and Paul Caddick did at Leeds was spend a world record transfer fee on young Mr Harris.

I think you have some massive "Believe the K0ckr@sh Hype" tinted glasses on. You think he will be your almighty Saviour but he won't.

And if you have to ask why smaller clubs couldn't compete or survive against clubs with more money than them, then I give up.

i`ll have a try at decoding this , i take it you meant saviour ? well yeah he`s exactly that he did save us , Salford would have died without him .

Oh look a member of the t0ssp0t Spelling Police. Don't you look good. Oh wait....

You'll be there again before you know it

I`m not knocking your spelling , you spelt survivor correctly , well edited by the way .

Surely this is a race to the bottom,lowest common denominator stuff.
Let's preserve our little sport and accept our place in the natural order of things ??
Cast off the shackles,give it a go,let's see where the adventure can take us.
