That isn't exactly Marwan's fault is it. I agree the stadium was poorly thought out by Peel Holdings and Salford City Council, but he is doing a fine job of making a go of it.



South Sydney, St George and the Roosters don't seem to mind.

That's because we are paying them about £170k to come and play. Will the Dr pay each team £170k to play his team ?

This is what I mean.

There is the PR side which is get anything in the press, no matter whether there is a plan behind it.

Then there is the actual side, which is more business savey.

He has to come out and say we will finish top 4 in 2014 and buy SBW and Sam Tomkins etc. Why? Because he has to raise the profile of the club to actually get his hands on actual players like locke etc.

I am trying to be respectful to Salford, but basically they were no were near the top 8 and so not an attractive proposition for ambitious players. Yet if those players see talk of big names going, there can be a buzz created that will make players move.

It's a bit of the old look at this hand, whilst in my other hand something different is going on.

come on some people are being too nice ....he's full of it....

delivered not a one of his outlandish self serving publicity seeking statements.....

here's yesterdays latest tery.......
bear in mind his previous was he wanted ownership of an NRL club by the start of this season...

Why doesn't he move salford to leeds then? The guy is a complete idiot with no understanding of sport and history.

Simple answer, as you'll be at the match tonight: approach him and ask him.

He's very approachable.

It's blatant you don't like him. That's your choice. Fair enough. Forums would be dull if people did not express opinions. However, I find it quite odd, to be honest. Why would you have such strong opinions and post so much on this thread about an individual who owns another club?

I honestly don't care what owners of other clubs say.

I didn't start the thread. I'm postiñg like everyone else has on this thread. I'm a honest guy and say what I think.

I've nothing against the man personally as I don't know him. I do think he comes out with some utter rubbish.

What's he's done at salford is unreal. He's pumped money into the club and saved a good rugby club from going bust. I really applaud him for that.

I just think he needs good rugby league men around him to advise him before he opens his mouth.

I'm not sure that Dr is a genuine twitter account.

It is.

I actually feel sorry for the doc. Love or hate him, he's put 5 million quid of his own money into saving a once great club and he's been very badly advised.

I tried to catch him after the match but he was in a rush to get out the sradium but I'm sure I heard him shouting "I've had enough" or something.

He's going to pull out of that dead beat club very soon I feel. If he's lost to the sport it's a shame, as money is one thing the sport could do with. A lot of people at Salford have massively let him down, most obviously the players that have happily taken his dollar and not put the effort in. There were several genuine stars on the field for Salford yet they pulled out of tackles, failed to play with commitment and consistently fail to achieve their potential. He deserves far more than he's got.

Why would a player want to play for a guy who had spent the whole of the previous week talking about buying Gold Coast?

All the self publicity can't be good for the head spaces of the majority of the players

Welcome to 3 days ago

Excellent replies by MK's daughter (?)

I'm not condoning his actions. But Rugby League is a tough game and players have a very limited shelf life before they are unceremoniously dumped onto the unemployment line. If he's owed half as much as he says then I can understand his frustrations with Harris.

Taking a pot-shot at Koukash suggests that he aint particularly bright.

I don't think Harris paid the wages to be honest. I'd imagine his beef is with the money men at the crusaders and not Harris.

Harris was surely only the coach. Wrexham failed due to the owners, not one season coach and the coach as far as I'm aware does not guarantee payments to the players??

He is targeting all the wrong people if it's his wages from Wrexham that is his real beef.

Either way could end up a lot poorer for that outburst.

I haven't paid that much attention to the specifics of their situation.

Harris wasn't the only person involved in that debacle. But he [irepresented [/ithose very same people [ito[/i the players. So I can understand why some guys might be disgruntled.

When you sign for a club you agree terms with the board. But it was your initial bond of TRUST with the manager which swung the decision in the first place (especially when two or more offers are for similar amounts).



Maybe he's wrong. But he certainly [ithinks [/ihe's right.



I doubt Koukash will get involved. If he sued every guy who said similar he'd probably never be out of court. And he's trying to ingratiate himself with the Aussies over a proposed NRL buy. He won't want to rock the boat too much. Just remember what happened to Maurice Lindsay when he ran afoul of the Aussie mainstream media.
