Indeed, RLFANS moderators love Sir Kevin/Jean. They just won't admit it.

| Quote Salford red all over="Salford red all over"I think the OP may be stirring something that doesn't need stirring, I can't see anything wrong in asking the fans for a bit of help, we are way under the salary cap so if we have money can spend it, there's nothing wrong with trying our best to keep in super league, in fact going down probably sees an end to us unless we get another sugar daddy.
One thing I will say though if we hadn't followed rugby leagues instructions in "framing the future" and gone all out to get a new stadium we would still be at our spiritual home "The Willows" which the club owned. Maybe the OP should bear that in mind when making such posts as his club under them rules would not be in the promised land.'"
Very true and moving to the AJ Bell seems to have been a terrible financial move, with unbelievably high rent and the well publicised access problems
It "The Willows still standing or has it been bulldozed ?

| Quote caslad75="caslad75"^^ No I don't at all, I'm a business owner myself and seeing other businesses get into financial trouble is something I never want to see. If you read my posts correctly you will see that I state that a drop down in order to rebuild could be a good option. If the RFL were a little more proactive rather than reactive then they may have been able to provide guidance a lot earlier to Salford. It may be dressed up as a sponsor trying to raise funds, but it's basically the club asking for financial help and the sponsor being the first to donate and get the ball rolling.'"
Comedy gold!  The RFL are incapable of wiping their own fecking ar$e$ let alone capable of advising anyone else how to run their business. They're an absolute disgrace. Now we've never been anywhere near a well supported club but at least at The Willows we could live within our means but at Barton we're being bent over a barrel and royally shafted with stadium rent and no matchday income from the food/drinks as that all goes to the SMC. Funny how 15 or so years after being given the ultimatum to "move ground or be booted out of Super League" the likes of Cas and Wakey are still playing in their poophole grounds, yet we did as we were told and are dying a slow and painful death.

Come on Jean, please make the effort.
Btw Willzay was spot on despite his telling off.

| Quote Gallanteer="Gallanteer"I guess that oversized 1 million pound cheque the Salford fans were gloating about on our pitch 2 years ago was never cashed in then?
Asking for supporters to help signings is fine. We occasionally do similar through the RSG.
The problem with Salford is that there are signs that this is the tip of the financial crisis iceberg. Whilst true fans of any club have my sympathy when the club they love hits financial problems, I find it hard to have too much sympathy for Salford.
They had a chance to get money for Bob Lui at the start of the season and they all laughed at us. Now they're cash strapped and we've signed Todd Carney (and possibly a couple more) till the end of 2018.
Will we survive? No idea, but we're going all out to try.'"
Your sympathy isn't wanted thanks. Jesus wept you really need to let the MPG go mate it's a couple of years down the line. You're starting to sound like a Scouser.

Sorry, but not all of us have a more successful football team to scrounge off.

Whilst I have sympathy for Salford’s fans don’t try and blame your clubs situation on the RFL.
You didn’t sell The Willows because the RFL forced you to, you did because you desperately needed the money to pay players you couldn’t afford.
In the end, while the rent at the AJ Bell may be too high, the conditions may be rubbish, the stadium may be rubbish, Salford’s current situation is entirely of its own making.

| Salford are in an almost no win situation. If you were designing a club to fail then taking it out of its core supporter base and dropping it in a place with poor accessibility would be the way to do it.
People want to go watch a game without having to plan for the logistics of arrival and departure.

WTF are you going on about ? are you seriously saying we thought how can we pay our players " I know lets sell our ground " Was framing the future where clubs were told to move to the 21st century or the bridge is being drawn up just in my mind ? (it probably was as we still have teams playing in victorian conditions).
Yes the RFL forced us to move stadium or our time then was up same applied to everyone else, "apparently"
