I'm taking back all my comments re ****heads with flares at Bradford.



I don't know whether to laugh or cry With the CVA news in League Express and our position in this mini league, I'm producing more grey hairs every day.



If Salford was a pharmacy, every prescription for Viagra would be mixed up with Valium and vice-versa.

I haven't stood by the club for most of the season with regards to off-field incidents, but on this one I am fully in support of their decision to suspend Rangi even on the eve of yet another important game. If you have a player who flaunts the rules and does not adhere to the same principals as the rest of the squad, then you deserve to be punished accordingly. Don't be confused with thinking this is all Marwan Koukash' doing either, Tim Sheens will have instrumented all of this as all football related matters are dealt with by him and the coaching staff only.



Rangi is a huge individual talent, we all know that but as I am sure certain Cas fans will tell you he is also a massive pain in the ar$e to have around your club. In an environment like ours, he has been allowed for too long to have a greater say on matters and we're now seeing the results of this. He is an extremely arrogant person and after this, do we really want that kind of player at our club? How must other players earning far less than him react when they see him acting with a blatant disregard of club rules.



He's on a very lucrative contract at Salford, so much so he is our highest earning by some way. That money could quite easily be spent elsewhere including an adequate replacement for Rangi.



Remember how distraught Cas were after he left? They soon forget about him.

As an outsider looking in, I suspect your management will be secretly rather pleased about this. Chase's stock was sky-high when you signed him - you must be paying him a ton of money. My impression is that you haven't had anywhere near consistent enough service from him to justify that money. If he really has fouled up then you'll be able to get him off the books without having to pay him off, and then Sheens will be able to go and make a couple of sensible, judicious signings with his cap money.

He’s been fantastic at times, if not consistent, but an absolute joy to watch. One of the very, very best I have seen at this club in the last 30 years.

Fair enough - I may well have underestimated how well he's played for you.

No one player is bigger than the club. Although Chase probably disagrees...

Well Cas have done better without him, I suppose.

Its not just this, its everything that's gone on. I don't think I could feel any lower than I am now (not jokes about my height please). I'm fed up, I don't want to watch them, I don't want to hear the clubs name mentioned for a while I'm all Salford RLFC and Koukash'd out.

What was the cvs news? Must have missed it

Off memory, they're after a respite on payments, citing high stadium rent (£500,000 p.a?) and other financial pressures, with a view to resume payments in late 2016. Again this is off memory so the reported details may be wrong.

High rental costs of the stadium, low number of supporters generating a low income, and lower income than expected from sponsors.

Requesting a suspension in payments for 17 months.

Ave It : if you're giving up : first try the game at Halifax. List of pubs on another thread.
