Well the day has finally arrived, today is the day us Salford fans get to know what Dr Marwan Koukash has planned for our great club.
It is only 10 months since one of its darkest days in Pendleton church when then chairman John Wilkinson delivered the heart breaking news to a couple of hundred Salford fans that the end was nigh. Without serious investment because of horrendous debts the club was finished.
Since that moment the fans dug in came together and showed unbelievable heart and will to show that Salford Rugby League club meant so much to so many.
Even tho people sweated blood, organising events, emptied savings accounts or just gave what they could it would all have been invain but for one man.
Today I would like to use my blog to thank Dr Marwan Koukash.
Not only for taking a chance on my Salford saving it from falling into an oblivion I would also like to thank him for putting the feel good factor back into supporting the club I have followed through thick, thin, and wafer.
Feel good factor
Since the good Dr took over he has been outstanding media and promotion wise.
All news stories were positive we made heads turn, spin and then fall off with rumoured bids and offers for players from all over the world.
People both inside the game and out have had to stand up and take notice about our plans somthing at Salford before the good Dr were unable or unwilling to do.
He promised star players, he said next season will be different and he would do everything in his power to turn the club round and without spoiling his surprises it seems he has delivered it with bells on.
The man himself is always approachable often seen on the terrace mingling with fans. It takes a special man to walk and talk with kings and paupers and treat them both the same and it looks to me the good Dr is that man.
With season tickets for the 2014 season and offers for the world cup also announced today many Reds who arnt already on cloud 9 will be with good noises being made about next seasons shirts arriving in time for Christmas
With all our rumoured signs to be confirmed soon we will have a idea what kind of force we might be next season.
Its far too early for bold predictions about what salford will do but to play safe ive booked off the challenge cup final weekend just in case ;-)
Red Devils returning
I would also like to thank the good Dr for embracing our history and adding the Red Devils to our name.
As Salford are the original Red Devils because of our exploits in france beating every opponent on the tour in 1934.
This happened years before Manchester United adopted it and Salford announcing their name change basically reclaiming it was a massive plus and was applauded from the roof tops.
"Sons and fathers sing this story....of the Salfords march to glory"
Well what a crazy season we have had both on and off the field, will be remembered for the most devastating lows in preseason to today which can only be described as massive and positive for the future.
Lets all move on together both club and fans and embark on this once in a life time adventure from where we are now to the very top of rugby league.
I don't think it will be easy there will be lots of swings and roundabouts on the way but lets enjoy the journey.
