Top 4 next year after all the cash has been splashed on Marquee players!

BTW - it's Aris not Harris, is it not?

Aris - Aristotle - Bottle - Bottle and Glass - Ar$e

Cockneys

Much better this goes through now while players are still available for us to spend the transfer fee and Elliot's cap space on than it drag on into off season when most players are signed up for next year. May mean we can make improved offers to some of players that are borderline retentions/targets too.

It's MEN editorial policy that there has to be a minimum of 1 glaring factual error in any Rugby League related article.

Good, lets get the deal over the line so we can plan ahead for next year.

Top four club? Does Elliot look like a bit of a tool now? Or is it just me?

Debaser it's not just you pal

The Salford fans seem very happy about this over on their forum, and I must admit, I'm slightly pleased we could be getting rid of him. There's no point having players in our squad that don't want to be here, for whatever reason. Whitehead wants to leave because he wants to join a top four club, and so he could join a club in the bottom four. Also a six figure sum would be nice.

We haven't heard whether he is willing to go yet..

Didn't Elliot reportedly say he wanted to play for the bottom club who could conceivably scrape into the playoffs in 2014 and might hope, with sustained investment and some luck, to become a top 4 club in about 5 years?

I think that was the quote.

Good for you guys to get rid now IMO. 100K would be a great deal for someone who's head has been "turned". I would stick with Franny's decision 100% not to play him. He obviously knew he had been tapped-up.

Just one player in a list of mercenaries joining Salford. A couple from Tigers will be announced soon as well. Let 'em move on as long as the money's right. I hope cash injections come from Salford for a lot more SL clubs -this could be the huge financial boost we are all looking for.

He'll be sorry! unless he's got a 10 yr deal. There's no way he is moving to a "top 4 club"

The latest news is that Kou- lotsof-Kash has made a substantial offer for EW. And hope he will sign to play against Saints on Friday???

So as a top four club goes, it's a long long haul Elliot...the only consolation he and his agent would have is if he does sign for Salford there is only one way to go, from where they are!

Sorry that it's ended this way, but if the transfer fee is £100k, it's better than having a player who want's away.

Incidently how long will Brian Noble stand the arrogance of Mk?

Much prefer Omar's brand of diplomacy, ie the coach recommends and the board find the budget ,if possible, for what he requires to build the team.

I know Brian, and if it's one thing he can't stand is the MD making the team decisions. He believes like most of us that Directors direct- Coaches coach-Players play and Supporters support.
With Salford the Owner seems to do everything, it's no wonder the players give lack lustre performances.
When did Salford supporters once shout Marvin give us a wave...it must have embarrased him at the Salford game when our fans were shouting for Omar to give 'em a wave...and of course he did! That's how to win Hearts and Minds.
