No but he is heavily involved in the running of Salford. Any competent chairman will have regular meetings/contact with his CEO and other members of the board and be up to speed on how things are being run in an organisation that Koukash has made a point of being at the tip of.



If Koukash were a chairman that stayed out of the limelight and let his CEO and board members run the show then maybe, maybe he might not be quite up to speed. Someone like Caddick at Leeds for instance.



But when Koukash has been so intimately involved in the club id find it incredibly hard to believe he doesn't know what's going on.

Forgive my ignorance,do you know which Hilton franchise he owns.

Public record that he owns the recently opened Hilton in Liverpool.

I don't disagree that he has a very public/vocal opinion on the team, however I am not sure that means hands on day to day financial matters. Vickers left Salford council on a salary of about £130k a year so we can only guess he isn't now on anything less.



If I funded a sports team to the tune of millions a year, I would expect to be able to act like an over excited fan and assume the person I was paying a lot of money to pay the bills did so! I would also assume if he couldn't pay them he would tell me. It appears Vickers has done neither.



I would not assume that I had to daily look at the bank account or check all bills were paid. Marwan has now said he has moved the fiancial side away from Vickers, so what as a Highly paid CEO does he now do?



Maybe, a lot of years working in a multinational blue chip company,has clouded my opinion on what a highly paid CEO is responsible for.



The fact remains that if the issues being revealed at Salford had been in anything but a public service the CEO would have been sacked/resigned. It is only senior figures in public bodies (which vickers is used to) expect otherwise.

Yes,it probably has.

Working for a red chip rather than blue chip company is a tad different.

MK is known to be very hands on ,in all aspects,as I would be if some of the money being spent was mine.

I've no idea whether Vickers is doing a good job but he'll certainly have been liaising with his boss regarding cash flow.

Give him a break. The last thing we need on here is a witch hunt.

This.

Especially a witch hunt instigated by such a conniving weasel.

This too.

This two, typo corrected are kyd

Where is the actual record? (not old newspaper articles when Dr K was trying to open a hotel a few years ago). Thanks.

That's also my understanding, but I could be wrong

I thought I'd read that his company owned the building with a big mortgage,which is fair enough. The initial project didn't work out so he sold the building on.

As far as I'm aware he's neither involved in ownership of the building nor running the hotel franchise

Pretty sure this is the B&B he owns. www.doubletreeliverpool.co.uk
