MK makes a lot a false promises and this needs to stop, below I will list a few examples;

• MK vowed to make us a top 4 team by now, whilst I hope most fans realised this was never going to happen some people still bought into the idea.
• What has happened to the land around the stadium and the plans he had?
• What has happened to the club shop which was meant to be opening?
• What happened to the ‘gone are the days of free tickets’?
• What happened to the ’gone are the days, the big clubs come and sign our players’?
• What happened to MK taking legal action against Gareth Hock if he played against us for Leigh?

I could go on all day, new stadiums, football clubs, NRL teams etc.

Why are no other clubs in the same boat? The amount of players / companies claiming they are owed money to me signals there is something in it. I also remember a marketing company at the end of last year ‘tweeting’ Vickers claiming they were owed money and Salford hadn’t responded.

MK is clearly very difficult to work for, you only have to look at the amount of ‘staff’ we have gone through since his arrival, although granted a lot did need to be shipped out.

Very grateful to him for putting his money into Salford and for that you have to respect him, but his handling and running of the clubs at times is embarrassing. I’m bored of everything now, I want to go to games and enjoy the rugby

First accept sadness. Realise that without losing 70% of the time, winning wouldn't be such a relief.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32990.jpg



Quote: jools "I don't agree it would apply in quite the same way. Yes you are correct if owners withdrew support many would struggle - my own being one. But as far as I'm aware Davy spends his money - it isn't LOANED.
If Marwan was to decide to chuck in the towel and demand his cash back - that leaves Salford in a worse position they were in previously!'"


I didn't say every club Jools did I? Some clubs will obviously be more financially reliant on their benefactors than others. As you say about Huddersfield, they would struggle to maintain their current status without a new benefactor, should Ken Davy decide in the future to walk away from the club.

Of course its loaned jools. Ken Davy, Calvert at Cas, Eamonn, O`Connor, maybe Moran as well put money as Directors Loans. Whether they ever take them back (Calvert did) depends on the cicumstances.

Perfectly correct EB. At the moment, if Dr K walked he'd get nothing back as all the money injected has gone on running the business and paying off the previous company debt. From the last accounts I think the Cash at Bank figure was just a few thousand!

IFIRC all the money that Wilky put in was done as loans to be repaid to his pension fund which of course never happened.

Yes I don't think any benefactors in RL realistically expect to see their money again. It's just a very expensive hobby.
