[quote="leeds owl":1hd7n303]They won’t need any floodlights on with Shaun Ryder’s new teeth anyway.[/quote:1hd7n303] Whilst on the subject of floodlights, I remember watching that lunatic climb to the top of the floodlight at Elland Road when the Happy Monday’s played there in the early 90’s. Good drugs back then.

On Salford , a rapper friend of Krisnan Inu and a Swiss bank that specialises in investment property. Sounds like a perfectly normal combination to takeover a skint British rugby league club to plough money in to help a community they have never met. I’m sure there is no ulterior motive here.

[quote="Theeaststander1":2zf176yv]there's more to it than meets the eye RFL wouldnt be holding something up this long unless theyve spotted something odd...[/quote:2zf176yv]Not sure that's entirely right, this sort of stuff can take forever for entirely innocent reasons. It's not just a box ticking exercise.

[quote="MjM":3tpy4nv4]Not sure that's entirely right, this sort of stuff can take forever for entirely innocent reasons. It's not just a box ticking exercise.[/quote:3tpy4nv4] i said this over on the KR forum earlier: All conveniently happened when Salford was on death’s door financially. There’s a lot more to this saga and plenty left to unpick in the coming months. I don’t for one second think Paul King left them with a good deal, he’s well out of his depth, and it’s shown before. The full extent of the mess he’s got them into is yet to be revealed, but I’ve got a feeling it won’t be good. There’s no way random consortiums/swiss bankers invest in clubs they’ve never heard of, in a game/league they know nothing about, then, straight out of the gate, clear 5 million £ in club debt (allegedly). It stinks. The stadium is council-owned, the club barely pulls 3,000 fans, and until three months ago, they had no profit/loss from anything sold within the stadium, meaning they have zero assets. So why would anyone invest so hastily, as Salford claims? It just doesn’t add up. And to reiterate the point, all this has come together just before the club was going into potential administration ..... I feel the RFL are stalling with due diligence as theyve seen something odd as Sir Gregory ParsloeP said above, there's surely no ulterior motive in all of this...
