Nigel Wood claiming, me and Lenagan have criticised the TV deal in order to help fill our stadiums . Has anyone bought a Ticket as a result?

Nigel says the sport received a 63 % uplift in Sky TV monies. Interesting but we got less than 25 % this year.
Marwan Koukash @drmarwanK · 6h
Read a very interesting article by Nigel Wood, he says owners in the sport need to be more factual , accurate and objective. I Agree
I can't see Nigel Wood being "fine" with this sort of on-line ranting....

That's quite insulting to a bag of frogs
Surely the RFL have to let Mandy buy a club......the PR value alone would be fantastic, let alone when their teams go head to head.....

Her recent tweets seem to indicate she wont win as she hasn't bid enough. Have we already reached the edge of the Dr's finances?

| He didn't pay to sack Phil Vievers. He didn't pay an obscene amount for Rangi Chase. He didn't pay £100k for Tim Smith. He didn't pay a fee for Gareth Hock. He hasn't spent upto to the cap on wages. He hasn't brought in a new Chief Executive and Commercial Manager. He didn't pay for 3 weeks in South Africa during pre season.
The guys broke and hasn't spent a penny.

Look Mr Kiwi - Wood, Hetherington, Mrs Hetherington etc have not put a brass farthing into Rugby League. They have only taken out. Wood is a well paid 'Guardian' of the Sport - he is not a Dictator so the Chairman of any club has the right to 'rant'.

I seem to recall him not paying an obscene amount for chase (it was suggested on the Salford board it was roughly 100k no?) and similarly wasn't smith 70k?
There's no doubt he's put money into the club. But he's not actually outspent what others have done, Wigan went to America, Warrington to aus - none of the transfer fees have been eye watering etc. For all his gumption, he's not exactly ripping up trees financially - others in the sport are still spending more/ doing things better.
(That's no criticism of him, Rome wasn't built in a day and all that, but his criticisms of the sport might be better placed if he'd already exhausted every avenue available to him - things like sport science tech centres, an army of coaches and advertising budgets aren't included in the salary cap, but he's not blown anyone away.)

Your opinion certainly differs from those who accused him of breaching the salary cap.
The squad of Salford Red Devils - including a whole new batch of strength and conditioning coaches etc.went to South Africa for warm weather training in January.
A players lounge has been constructed at the stadium and a gymnasium.
He is a proven winner in another sport - the one described as the sport of kings.I think you need a little bit of cash to partake in that sport.
All the posters on this thread would not be able to match his wealth.
Please carry on denigrating an individual putting money into the sport and raising it's profile and newsworthiness.
It's not even just an English thing,seemingly;just a rugby league followers thing.

I'm amazed he's spending up to the cap on the team he's constructed, if you compare it to the top 5 or 6 I wonder how (but I'm not going to get into that argument again!)
I know he's hired a new team of backroom staff to go with his on field spendings, but compared to wigans off field army of coaches it seems like more can be done. It's not like he's brought in 25 hyperbaric chambers for each member of the squad.
I don't doubt his wealth, but the amount he acts like he spent, and has actually spent don't quite align in my eyes. Given his talk about marquee players, he seems quite prudent in other areas (something I never imagined saying 12 months ago with all his talk)
I am starting to raise questions about the level of pr (but I'll leave that line of discussion for another day)

I thought I'd replied in a slightly less subtle way than you, here. Either I'm cracking up or I upset someone...
