| Just like I said at the start of the year when everyone was jizzing in their pants how good the Dr is.
He's a idiot, he's not good for the game and he will walk away from Salford in the next two years blaming the RFL and super league clubs for not backing his idiotic ideas.

Yeah, I'm starting to get the impression that he's a bit of a person who tosses too.

| Regardless if he isn't as genuine as he says and leaves the club in the next couple of years he has given the fans a reason to turn up and will certainly leave the club in a better position they where in before.
If the fans don't get on board and turn up and support the club, and stop turning up if he leaves quite frankly the fans do to deserve a successful club.

He reminds me of some of the comedy foreign owners in football, they might have plenty money but they are clueless when it comes to sports clubs

| I really don't care, he puts RL in the headlines the one place all RL fans moan we don't get enough coverage. If he was doing this at Saints I'd be worried, but with Salford it's all positive for them. They have gone from almost folding completely to one of the most talked about clubs without vastly improving the results

| Yes they do deserve better I 100% agree!
but in terms of the cap and funding the club it would fall apart without his funding he is running the club from his back pocket and if he leaves I really can't see anyone else spending the same
All the big time Charlie's would leave as they wouldn't get paid and I don't think I have read to much in him spending money on the youth system other than his long term goals, so not the right players to step up and cover first teamers and you have another London in the league unable to play at the same standard as everyone else and the fans would stop turning up again for this reason ... I do worry a little

I'm a saints fan but also a rugby league fan. I've been playing/watching rugby for 26 years, it's in my blood and live it but this idiot Dr claims to want the "best for rugby league" which is utter BS.
He's treating Rugby league like it's his toy. He wants to waltz in and turn the gams into the 80s where we had one team domination because they have the money. That's not for the good of the game, it's for the good of Salford and it's not sustainable.

| The way the league is set up he can't do anything without other chairmen helping him. He does a lot of talk but most of it is just that. People get wound up by him saying he will sign x, y and z but really all he is doing is making sure in the morning Salford are mentioned in the press.
ie putting in a £25k bid for Bradford.
A completely none Salford related story, but for the effort of showing he had £25k going spare he gets Salford up in the papers. No real intention to buy, but it keeps Salfords profile high.
He's a PR mans dream. He's increased Salfords crowds over 100% since taking charge. That's his goal the rest is chaff for free publicity.

But he's serious that he wants the salary cap scrapped and serious he wants the marquee signing rule brought in.
He's spouted how he wanted tomkins and brought in mullany (spelling), he then spouted he wanted billy slater and brought in mullany (sp), he spouted he wanted SBW and brought in Hock, he spouted he wanted Sam burgess and got TP.
Not exactly the stars he promised and not exactly doing well for the cash they spent.

Exactly!
That's what PR men do, they put a big shiney poster up with a top of the range car as an example. That draws them in, then you sell em the old banger from round the back.
He is serious he wants to scrap the cap, but he can't do it alone. Still needs 7 other chairmen to agree.

I can't put into words how much a detest the idiot.

Not improved a great deal tho have you?
Already on to your 3rd coach in the koukash revolution and I predict another high turn over of players for 2015 again.

| I don't mind him too much but he seems to think he can buy instant success. He simply doesn't understand it takes time to build a successful team.

It's pretty clear when we played them that we was a team that's grown together and they a team that's been thrown together.
I doubt noble signed them players, I think he did and with no thought of if they would gel or how balanced the team is. He's just seen names and thrown cash at them.
It will go the way Blackburn has with the venkys.

They're obviously a team cobbled together, and they look unbalanced, as Koukash has weighted the cap space toward a couple of expensive signings. He had a lot to learn when he bought the club, and it's crucial he learns the lessons.
But overall I think you're being unfair on him. Salford as a club was moribund and facing financial oblivion. They've now improved attendances, grabbed headlines, and elbowed their way toward a seat at RL's top table.
The project will by necessity need to be several years long; we'll see if he's good for Salford overall when we know if he has the patience & staying power to see it through to success.

Which is exactly why Noble hasn't had his contract renewed and has been asked to step aside. We have the players to improve, but the coach hasn't shown any signs of visible progress or improvement. I doubt we'll see a great turnover, Morley and Meli both signed one-year-deals and will be replaced naturally but apart from that the main of the team will remain.

So 7 weeks a go Noble was the man to lead the revolution and now he's not? He's thrown 14 new players together and expected to have them gel in 7 weeks? Little harsh.
So he moves Noble "upstairs" who's ex bulls and Wigan coach who's won trophies and also coached GB and brings in a guy who's never coached first grade ?
No doubt Harris will be demoted to assistant before the start of next season.

| 7 weeks? Noble has been in charge for 12 months. He's had a full pre season including a 3 week stint in South Africa. Injuries haven't helped but it had been evident since the first game Noble wasn't right for the job. Plus once you lose the dressing room it's time to go.

Yes but last season was a write off, he took over at a bad time. His signings have only played together 7 times.

I'm not going to convince you. But in the end the proof of the pudding will be in the eating.
So far it's all positive for Salford. I don't think he seriously considered he would get Tomkins. But in terms of Mullany he is about as good as they could hope for at the time. Had he been there a year earlier he would have said Tomkins but got Eden.
It's a different way of doing business. But basically if he had said we are targeting Mullany it would have had zero impact in the national press, and a minor subsection on the RL media. Saying Tomkins gets the press, whilst the serious work is done on the real target.
No doubt he will be after Roby or Cameron Smith and then sign Clarke from cas. If he said I'm after Clark, people in RL world would go mm nice deal. If he says Cameron Smith then people at the Sun and the telegraph go KOUKASH splashes the cash on Ozzie genius.
Whether he does or not will not get reported but you see the point it generates the interest which is why their crowds have doubled.
