from reading some posts on this thread we have some very very very narrow minded people on this board, even with the account figures sat in front of them they still feel we have got the money to be 'pumping' cash into the club

its clear to most normal people on here that the directors do 'pump' money into the club year on year, clearly at a loss to them. they do this through dedication, loyalty and passion to an oraganisation with a lot of history and an organisation that they all clearly hold close to there hearts

its easy to say why dont we just spend x amount to keep players X and Y at the club, surely you are old and wise enough to know that when something is not there you just cannot spend it!!!

if i remember rightly didnt the widnes fans forum pay a players wages for a year or something similar? it would be great to think that we could get every single season ticket holder or even just random people of salford to all join forever reds so we could do a similar thing

or lets all join in to a syndicate and put the euro millions on and put the winnings into the club

I have edited this post, before I reply to it, so as to save the majority of true Salford Fans from having to read such absolute nonsense.

So, here goes............

I don't know how old you are, but I suspect that most of us have a bloody good idea. Have you stopped for just one minute to think that all that the current chairman has done for this club, may, just possibly have been purely for the reason that he is totally committed to our club, just as much as you and I

It's absolutely nailed on that he has NOT made a single farthing of profit over the last 25 years.

So quite how, some total h0le like you and the other idiot, Jaymc9, can come on this forum and talk such boll0cks, is completely baffling to the rest of us.

So, do all true Salford Fans a favour, and FOOK OFF

yes your right, sorry i am wrong and yes looking at these figures

I AM AN IDIOT


the one and only RED DEVILS

who......me
or the 2 idiots who are talking crap
If it's me that you want banning, I don't see why....
.....If it's the other 2, well said
If it's neither one or the other and you're a bit confused, my advice is.....stay out of the pub on Sunday afternoon

Nobody should be banned everyone is entitiled to there opinion even if they are misinformed. Obviously he has alot of passion for the reds but it can get clouded with that urban myth that JW has never put money into the club or that the club has money.
The only criticism i have of JW is like most people i think he should of been a lot more open about the stadium development but if it was not for him and the board there is no way we would of be where we are now.

Bit unfair davros. JAW kept everyone up to speed UNTIL the Irish Gentlemen on the Board of RCD became a financial threat. The Company as we all know went into Administration and power went to Peel. All news for the new ground emanates from them alone. Certainly not the fault of our Chairman who has always been more than above board in his dealings with the fans.

but to continue trotting out your 'opinion' when faced with multiple people pointing out FACTS that prove your views to be incorrect just makes you look petulant, childish, and very very foolish.

If only it were that easy. As one of the founder members of Forever Reds maybe I can explain how some people unfortunately think... maybe one of the current committee can confirm or deny whether it still be the case.

To cut a long story short... the first year of Forever Reds raised somewhere in the region of £50,000... This was done over a tireless 12 months with some serious events... it was almost non-stop. Remember... this was to help the club stay full-time following relegation. Despite doing our bit... we were met by many supposedly loyal supporters who point blank refused to help... to the point of being abusive. Many felt that we had a chairman who should be putting his hand into his pocket more often... many thought we were glory hunting... when the fact was... we were just doing our bit to help our club.

During that 12 months.... it was the same handful of people who did all the work. Out of an estimated 3,500 'loyal' fans at the time... I bet we had less than a 1% take up of people who actually put in the hard work and helped.

We did EVERYTHING we could that year... and raised just short of £50k. If the same was done again... it would barely pay any kind of salary for a SL player. Plus.... I would guess there would be a lesser take up that 1% because this time we are in SL for a guaranteed 3 year stay.

Forever Reds continues and look to be doing the right thing right now. I'm pretty sure they would never get the 3,500 loyal supporters to put something in the region of £20 each into a pot... which would just about cover the average wage of one Salford SL player... not even a superstar.

The thing is, the opinion held by yourself and "salford no 1" has been shown to be utter rubbish by facts, whilst all you and the other naysayers can come back with is conjecture, opinion and conclusions that you've jumped to without really thinking things through.

Still he is entitled to his opinion


I also cant believe that at no point has Wilky made some dough out of Salford. I appreciate what he has done and does for the club but dont think the sun shines out of his anus

yes your right , now i know the facts ,i admit i was wrong , and yes i am an idiot as stated in previous post
