Quote: The Big Panjandrum "Barton was a bad move – an enforced move made on the back foot . Salford were struggling to keep themselves emotionally close to the heart and soul of its inhabitants as it was and now they’ve gone and put themselves physically at a distance. Double whammy. Salford need to get on the front foot. They need to extract themselves from Barton, place themselves in a district of THEIR choice and that they are confident will sustain them.They also need a business plan that puts protecting their heritage at the forefront. Forget Superleague Grand Finals – that’s the wrong priority at the moment. But until they shake out this delusion they are a superleague club they are destined for another crisis. The City of Salford is at the edge of the rugby league heartland and the rugby club patently fall between two stools- neither Championship nor Superleague standard . Salford need to cut their cloth accordingly if they want to be around in 5 years time. And accept what they are and what they are not. Otherwise the next bout of inevitable instability and bother will 'do for 'em''"
Well Ive read some tripe on these Forums over the years , latterly from the Italian Baker Mario, but the post above certainly gets into the Final.
Look - The Willows is no more, dead, deceased, no more. Can we move on.
The crux is that the Doctors generosity has given us a squad for 2015 which should entertain and win. Its now up to the players to perform and then the crowds will surely follow. If not the Doctor has every right to pack up and move out of town. (or City).
