Salford owner Marwan Koukash calls for Super League chairman to force a split from the RFL
Koukash held a press conference yesterday to address the club's six-point deduction for breaching the salary cap.
He also spoke at length about his plans to force a vote of no confidence in the game's governing body, who he branded "not fit for purpose" earlier this week.
"I'm talking about a split, 100 per cent - and I think it will happen. I believe I just need a majority vote.
"I have no intention of being the leader of such a move, but before the end of the week I will have contacted all my fellow chairmen and I'm going to arrange to get together within the next two weeks.
"Again I have to stress this: the future of the game rests in our hands. I need their backing."
