the grape juice must be strong in Yorkshire, Salford's wage bill is less than a million, Wild got offered a longer term contract from Salford on similar money to Shuddersfield but over a longer period means in total that is more money, now do you understand. Feka, nobody wanted him so not as dear as you think, Patten again offered a longer contract than Shuddersfield had, Holdsworth you could well be right, but he would be the ony one.

Early Bath's on a bigger contract than Wilde.

Agreed.

For the last year at The Willows Salford announced that we were significantly increasing the wage bill in an attempt to end The Willows era on a high. We are still paying these contracts now as most were 2 or 3 year deals. Whilst it is unlikely that we are close to the cap, I think it is fair to say we are currently at our highest wage bill in the superleague era.

I am sure that first sentence makes sense inside your head.

you are near the full cap and that maybe why you are not flush with cash. Contracts have to be committed to years in advance so if the income line does not improve you are stuffed. You get situations like the smith sale and holdsworth being touted around the place.

You are clueless. under a million

In a club having to pay overs to get some quality in. Your prosaic Wild formula is touching, very vague. Are you claiming what the Giants paid wild in a week he is now getting over 3 years? Without timescales your formula is meaningless. hope you understand.

If it suits you to pretend that patten and holdsworth are not on 100k+ and that there are not several players on 60 to 80 K then that is fine. And feka costs you plenty. The real stupidity was signing so many guys on overs for 3 years.

fair comment.

of the ' Wild ' Speculation over the actual players wage budget at Salford have this is probably nearest the mark .

there seems to be a crop of South Yorkshiremen with apparantly a clear understanding of Salford's salary cap & wage structure, if that is the case could they please inform Phil Veivers as it'll be news to him ...

That's a good clarion call for the extra 4,000 fans wanted for next season,we could finish in the bottom four again
and we have over achieved as for the under twenties If we get four to the first team we will have done very well,then when they get a good agent,who says you are going nowhere here then they will be off.

If Phil Vievers says we have over achieved, I will take note,

Why would a club risk big wages when they were unsure we would get the support. That is club suicide. But saying that are club don't have a clue half the time. Surly you make sure you can sell the product before you jump in to big contracts. From the talk on here we will be losing fans not gaining them. So does this mean most of team is leaving. I hate having go at are club been season ticket holder for years but the club don't seem to care about us any more . They have not got a clue and I am sorry but fed up of it all I work hard and at moment this is the only thing I have lost interest with. So sorry if people don't liking hearing it. I need every penny can't afford to waste money on a club that don't tell supporters the truth also it is run appalling. So why should I buy season ticket which is just going to pay debt and see no improvement in the team.

Eccles Star tell me one professional sports club who tells its fans thr "truth" they all tell you what they want you to hear, from Manchester United down.

True. But matt Parrish told them and they don't like it no wonder know one wants the big job. To get investors you need to show decent running of a club so we have no chance be causing this club is ran appallingly. Why would anyone be interested. Would not blame veivers if he and Shaun long quit. Even matt Parrish was lied to when he got job. So be interesting what they say to investors
