A 6 figure sum doesn't go very far in building anything or in developing youth. It needs sustained investment year on year.

That's not a criticism of Fev by the way, just some people seem to think these things can be done without much money.

The kind of awful press release that Leigh would have put out 18 months ago and a real measure of how far we have come since then off the pitch. What a cringe-fest.

I know i didn't really make my point properly. Its not really what the actual money went on, but rather the fact that it has been invested. Lots of Halifax fans and Cas too will be quick to jump in and say Faisal is all talk never did anything for us, he hasn't got any money etc etc.



Fact is he has invested hard cash (almost 400k) into Fev already. Just because for whatever reason he didn't stay around at their clubs at their clubs doesn't mean hes not prepared to invest or help someone else.

it doesn't look like its been written by Paul Taylor the usual guy.

Waste of money.

Apparently, Nahaboo was misquoted and what he actually said was: "Following the emergence of Dr Koukash this season, I've realised I no longer have the biggest mouth in Rugby League."

It actually reads to me as though English isn't the first language of the author. If that's not the case, whoever wrote it needs to sober up.

If Salfords struggles haven't taught them anything. Money can't buy you success in the short term.



It's a pipe dream, I hope they get the investment. But it's not going to happen overnight. They need to get the right people in place first off the field.

That's exactly the kind of nonsensical gobbledigook I expect from Mr Nahaboo. Ask Cas fans to recall the kind of risible, self-aggrandizing nonsense he used to post on their forum, and take a look at the Probiz website for more of the same; he's an accountant who's built a large personal fortune on the back of questionable 'wealth creation' schemes - which some people might describe as tax dodging. Marwan Koukash he most certainly is not.



I have no ill will towards Fev - they're a cracking club and they do some fantastic stuff, I just hope that this character doesn't do them too much damage when the inevitable falling out happens.

How can Featherstone Rovers, relying on a town of 10k people for its fanbase, be a sustainable business?



It can't.

I'm always cautious to things like this and was cautious when fiesiel came on board at the club after hearing about how he carried on at 2 other clubs.

But he has been at rovers now for over 2 years and put a lot of brass in to the club..

As for the top four super league finish well I think that's a bit ambitious to say the least.

I think we could average 5-6000 crowds if in super league and while that may not seem a lot it is only half of a lot of super league teams now and don't forget every penny spent in that ground on a match day goes to the club as they own the food outlets and bars etc while many of these new stadiums the clubs get hardly anything from these.



Let's just wait and see,,I'm glad the coach has gone I didn't think he was right from the start and was upset when we lost Darryl powell but I'm looking forward to seeing what happens.



Up the rovers

Of course it can. You just need to make sure that your outgoings are less than your income.



Income, by the way, does not include "millions" put in by "investors" who will want all their money back (and more) at some point.
