are you new to these boards, JW has always said that if someone came along with the correct offer he would sell, so effectively the club has been up for sale for years. This is Salford, there are no takers so we are stuck where we are, unless one of the faithful win the euro lottery nobody is coming in.

Well if I was Wilkinson I wouldn’t care about making a profit if he sells, he’s already made some good money with willows variety centre in the past.

Why haven't we thought of that before.
Simply inspired.

| I like the ironic use of the word 'invest.'
I might 'invest' in a pint tonight.

| After the game on Friday I realised that there is no identity any more we have a stuttering team with no confidence, 4-5000 fans witch have the same lack of confidence in the team and the people running the club. If something doesn't change in the performances by tge end of next season I think we could have a serious problem.
If nothing changes I can see Mr Wilkinson giving us away as a part time championship club

| Notice that Jim Ramsbottom was there Friday (I hope he has a blue badge as he was parked in a disabled spot) so maybe JW is looking at more Salford based investment.

I know people keep saying that Wilkinson would sell if the (right) buyer came along, but in my opinion any buyer would be better than the current owners, let's face it JW is poor millionaire compared to the rest of the SL chairmen. We need either a money man/ sugar daddy or a consortium needs to be formed made up of a few wealthy businessmen who all would put money in abit like what Hull KR have now, it's simple we need a winning team on the pitch to get the crowds in the stadium and to get that winning team we need MONEY! I really hope someone/businessmen fancies a challenge and does for Salford what Simon Moran has done for Warrngton and what Ian lennigan has done for Wigan, you have to speculate to accumulate, Money pumped in will 9/10 result in success and with success comes the profit. I believe the crowds are there ready in waiting, abit like what we have seen at Manchester city in recent years abit of success or even hope and people will come and jump on the bandwagon I'm certain of that, the only thing with Salford is the the last time we had success was before half the people the stadium were either not born or to young to go, if we think a new stadium would pull in crowds
We were sadly mistaken, we could have a stadium like the aliianz Arena yet with a average/poor team we'd still get no one in through the turnstiles, like I said I'm hoping wilky gets something sorted as he's no spring chicken himself? Come on John the bet thing you could do now is sort out our long term future.

| Who in their right mind would buy a team in SL ?
It has little exposure is only played in a small part of the country and even the best supported teams get a max of 20K only for big games.
Warrington hit lucky with Moran as he is a RL fan who happens to have a lot of spare cash.
No rich Arab or Russian is going to invest as RL is not a global brand which can spread their name.
Wilkinson wants to sell but there is no one coming knocking at his door and I dont think he expects them to.
Unless there is a miracle and a rich RL supporting Salfordian comes along then we are going to be in the same situation for years to come.

We don't need a Russian billionaire or Arab taking over we only need someone whos got the means to spend upto the salary cap each year something we have never done! And as for the (same situation for years to come) we won't be around in years to come pal, we're losing money left right and centre and unless we get someone in we'll be gone by the next lot of franchises are given out!

| Wonderful logic lance as ever - so you take the place of your Australian mate and work for nowt and then you arrange all the players contracts, sort out all the travel & training arrangements, attend all training sessions for the first team and the Under 20s, have multi meetings with scouts, attend all the amateur games available in the time permitted, meet with parents of all the Under 20s teams, sort out Doctors rosters, attend all Board Meetings, liaise with the Sale set up, go to Red Hall to discuss refereeing, also go there with players carded or on Report - etc etc
So in your world you will do all these jobs for nothing - so thats a starter - now - another £350k to find - your call.............if you have time after doing those jobs!
