I'm just attempting to ascertain a few facts around the situation. When I talk about nonsense, I'm talking about things like the Cavendish Street posts that turned out to be a bit silly, really. I agree there's a lot of problems and we are nowhere near where we should be. Just would like the rumours to be a little less shadowed, nothing more.

The most recent thing I've seen ties in at least partially with what Karlos13 has posted above, Peel apparently "taking over" but won't put any cash in, looking to sell within the year or they'll wind the club up. The best thing now would be if the club/Peel/anyone actually came out and made a bloody statement.

If we don't ask the question we will never know, a percentage of the club owned by the supporters surely this needs exploring. I would be most certainly up for exploring this possibility.

I agree completely - Forever Reds could be the vehicle to do this, but I was just pointing out the likely size of the enterprise!!

Well to own the club outright, as is, is pie in the sky; a partial stake may also scare off potential investors. However, I think it would be a good idea to at least open the debate now, especially if the worst comes to pass and Salford are on the brink of being wound up. It would also be handy to know how AFC Wimbledon and Exeter City runs its affairs. Both professional football clubs run by supporters trusts, arguably with a wage bill similar to Salford's and averaging around 3,500.

the difference for football is that they play twice as many matches at home and get more TV money and are on terrestrial telly every week so can charge a bit more for advertising and shirt sponsor. I would guess they have a lot more members than Forever Reds and more people willing to get involved and support the cause rather than slagging off everything the club do and don't do anything constructive to help.

With some posters thinking a meeting is a good idea,could I ask that one is called sooner rather than later as the temperatures may drop,weather become more inclement and spending money on certain presents may take priority.
There is a new club going into Championship 1 already started a supporters trust rlStoryrl and Hunslet in the Championship are run in the same way.
As are rlRochdale Hornetsrl

There should be no reason for anyone to fear losing any money if the donations are put into an Escrow account
because if whatever target is not reached the money could be returned;if desired.

I have no idea what the state of play is but if an investor doesn't want any supporter involvement,so be it,the money and publicity raised shouldn't do any harm.
It may even gain attention beyond those affiliated with the club.
