unfortunately the club has never shown the ambition the fans deserve. We've signed some good players had a good season then sat back and and slipped quietly away. money is always a factor and we're constantly reminded we're not a big club, we work within our budget.

well you can't accumulate without speculating. the people at the top just haven't shown the ambition to take this club to where we know it should be. just like our game we have one plan and if it doesn't work we're screwed.

i'm beginning to think we'd have been better taking the risks and even if we'd gone bust we may have at least had the stadium we deserve and with it because of our location a super league spot.

They have done, and do so everyday of the week IMHO

How many times does this discussion have to happen?

Get a copy of the accounts and see just how "in the red" the balance sheet is!!!

JW & other directors fund this club out of their own pockets - earlier this year we also got a £300,000 loan from Salford City Council "for day to day running costs" I believe - just look at Portsmouth and Crystal Palace to see what happens when you are "prepared to go into the red" - closer to home - Oldham, Rochdale etc etc

I think we can all question Mr Wilkinson's and the boards choices of coaches but please - don't fault his business sense - we are still here, there will be a new stadium that means there are possibilities - or we could throw caution to the winds, do a Widnes and end up in administration

Well said - of we had, Widnes would've been in SL instead of us.

Bring on Sunday rugby, we surely will get more fans through the turnstiles even if those are away fans to start with.
Surely parents are more inclined to bring the kids to a match played on Sunday afternoon than a game played on Fridaty night, we need to start attracting the youngsters to our games, at least give it a go.
I not sure if the club on a friday night is still a big factor on us playing at the willows on friday, maybe someone can answer if this is still the case.

This thread is a work of ironical, satirical genius. Right?

Salford have varied between been average and for 30 years. Therefore the only possible explanation is that John Wilkinson is just too darn nice? It couldn't be that we've actually been punching above our weight for all these years and the best we can hope for with our fan base is average? Or that keeping a professional club from going bankrupt is a major achievement? Or that we've always bought the best we can afford?

The bit that really gives it away though is that Paul Cullen "talks a lot of sense". You are taking the aren't you? Or did you miss three crucial letters from the start of that last word?
