| Quote: Red John "I can see the headline
I think Franny Lee is a man of leisure, he sold up his ' toilet paper business ' in the 80's for 8 million then 'invested' in Man City in the mid 90's becoming chairman , it didn't work out and he sold his City Shares first to David Bernstein and the remainder to the Malaysian Premier who took over City in 2007.
don't think he's daft enough to throw his money away in retirement propping us up ,it's all but bankrupted our present Chairman keeping us going over the past 30 years .

Regarding Salford's squad for next year - who is likely to be the half-backs ? I heard they were looking at John fron Wakey.

| Quote: tad rhino "by signing one player? asset stripping? leeds paid a fee unlike some clubs who raided the bulls while they were down'"
This idea of "asset stripping" is a nonsense.
Joel Moon has his own career and his own lifestyle to think about. If I were a professional sportsman in my early-mid 20s, I'd probably think that Leeds was a better place to further my career than Salford was as well.
Vievers can bang on about "wanting to play for the club" and good luck to him, but there are clubs in this league who have players on their payroll purely and simply because those players couldn't get contracts or first-team places elsewhere - and Salford are one of those.
Yes, that sounds pretty harsh but it's the nature of professional sport in Europe. If you don't like it, go and watch the NFL. |

Huge understatement. |

can't really blame the council, they have to make huge savings this year if they are like most other councils and 750k, though in theory a loan, would be too risky, as they may not have been paid back in full or at all
feel sorry for the salford fans but this has been on the cards since the support didnt increase much with the new stadium, and they need an 8000 average according to this rlreportrl

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

A move like Salford did needed a massive marketing campaign to get the required results ( an extra 4,000 ) they didnt, so it didnt, the days of fans turning up in amazement at cantilever stands has long gone |

"They supercede individuals, they supercede the team and they supercede the club. Our club is a traditional, working class club and the supporters are loyal and passionate and to see them go away happy really makes my day." Craig Sandercock.:7063.jpg |

| Quote: Charlie Sheen "I feel sorry for Salford, last year was great opportunity for them really progress as a club. They got the new stadium, and with the likes of Williams, Broughton, Moon Smith and Holdsforth they had one of the most exciting back lines in the comp. Sadly they haven't managed to secure decent investment to maintain their progress.'"
A company building a stadium that Salford have no claim on progress? For me they've gone backwards. |

No - they will step down to NL 1 and not be replaced. 13 teams next year and a total revision of the fixture list.

Nothing to worry about - after recent events, I'm sure that the Big Nige will ride in on his white low loader to save the day.

I would say Sale are still there but they are at the bottom of the table i think so could be in the Championship next season. |

To be frank, the idea that Salford would remotely get the crowds the wanted in season one were laughable - maybe if they had won the cup or charged to the top of the league, neither of which were going to happen either.
Someone at Salford got their business plan very wrong, simple as that.
