Towards the end of the video, he's pretty scathing regarding Koukash's treatment of the Salford players.

He's right. Koukash has destroyed that club, ok splashing the Kash but really should have invested in a good chief exec and team manager first and foremost

Destroyed a club that was about to become extinct? No. Could certainly have started off better, no doubt. but you can't destroy something which isn't there.

He is an arrogant prick (pot kettle jokes are welcome)who will never admit that he's wrong......similar to Hughes at London. It takes more than cash and passion to make a successful club. The sooner he and his like move on to something else the better because, as his recent press conference has shown, he's as much use as a chocolate Teapot to the sport.
As for Salford.....they would have survived in a lower division....extinction is a rare event in terms of sports clubs and they have 800 or so hard core fans who would have kept them afloat! The game is bigger than the ego's of some club owners.

I agree with him to an extent. The way Koukash handles himself at times is indeed an embarrassment. I don't agree that he's to blame for this though.

The players didn't appear to be demoralised last week when they came back to win. So what has changed in the last 5 days?

Regardless of what Koukash has or hasn't done, the players should show a bit of professional pride.

He's mad as a fish. Clearly no clue what he's doing or he wouldn't have hired Harris, but he's at least entertaining

When a chairman is overshadowing the club, you've got issues.

An owner shouldn't be there to be entertaining though.

McDermott sums it up in three words..." Lessons on Leadership". Brilliant, well said Brian.

Yeah this was kind of my line of thinking as well. Sure Marwan is erratic and controversial with most of the things he says, and he can come across as being very unprofessional at times, but I'm not sure how he can be directly blamed for this performance.
Off the top of my head, the only thing I think he said this week was that he didn't expect his side to win tonight. I mean I guess the players could read that and be demoralised, but I'd be surprised if that alone led to tonight's scoreline.

I think it's more likely tht they had one eye on next week's far more important and winnable fixture.

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Well done to @leedsrhinos but McDermott should keep his mouth shut

Could do with heeding his own advice

It's taken [uthis long[/u for someone to say something about a guy who was as transparent the first day he arrived in SL as he is today?

Ironic

I know everybody's known he's leaving since Sheens was appointed but I wonder if there has been any development on getting rid of Harris this week? Not saying there has but that could have got the players backs up a bit having yet another player/coach frozen out & then eventually axed.

Player revolt against Harris' treatment and possible departure. McDermott and Harris go back a long way.

Well said Brian.

Do they?

I agree with you.
The Red Devils has been treading water for years. Marwan Koukash will get it right sooner or later.
As far as I'm concerned the more money men we have in Rugby League the better.

Well said Brian - he's probably just vocalised what most people involved in running the game have been thinking for ages.

Your right, however Koukash represents our last realistic hope of a successful super league club.

If he quit now, I'm sure a new club would be formed. We would be ground sharing at somewhere like White Bank in front of 500 fans. At least it would bring back competitive derbies with Swinton

Its Darrell Griffin and Brian Noble he has close ties with as regards past and present goings on at Salford.

And Ben Jones Bishop.

And Weller Hauraki. He's pals with Morley too. In short, he knows what's going on.
