| Quote MikeTommo="MikeTommo"Smith has had a whinge about the timing. I can understand him not being happy about the it but's not like we could have done it any bloody earlier! Are we now not allowed to make attempts to improve a squad that has been decimated because it's inconvenient?
Well said, it is all about timing.
Perhaps your club should have sorted itself out sooner? It would have saved a lot of angst. How often was that phrase heard "Takeover confirmed club statement next Tuesday blah blah"? I'm not for one minute saying that any particular 'feet dragging' was well received on here, or by the fans in general, it must have been a worrying time, but, feet dragging there was whilst interested parties were jockeying for postion. It's resolution suddenly doesn't mean that other clubs have to play ball.
I bear no ill will, we also had a period where we couldn't keep players, Harris, Sculthorpe and Gregory before that, really glad you appear to have a new era to look forward to

| Quote Walshovski="Walshovski"The point people are making is that for Smith to take umbrage with someone making a legitimate approach for a player is just daft. That's without even taking into account any dark arts Wire may have used in the pursuit of Myler and Ratchford, although I'd guess most Salford fans accept that as part of the game.'"
Dark arts eh, your not going to bring up Take That tickets are you?
Seriously, I take your point on Smith, but, surely we all understand that it's a bit of posturing really, that's what's daft? He's employed to look after Warrington's interests after all not worth getting upset over either way.
Slightly off thread, one thing that did strike me as 'off' although based on conjecture was Bradford's
ability to turn from carcass to vulture when it looked like you guys were really in a dark place.

Agreed it's a nothing issue in the grand scheme of things.
As for Bradford, do you mean them taking Sidlow off us? It's a professional sport and that's the way things go. When Widnes were in the mire, we pinched Myler off them and you then pinched him off us. That's all part of sport even if it does stick in the throat.

Agreed.
On the Bradford front it wasn't anyone thing in particular that got me thinking 'eh up', but, more a perception reading their board rather than actual dealings club made. That old addage, "do unto others etc" was quickly forgotten as their situation improved to quickly IMO even in the arena of professional sport.
May be I'm wrong, there ia lot of good will shown to most clubs beyond the rivalry that exists on the surface without any competition we don't have a competition.
Good luck to you this year and lay off beating us at yoiur place this time eh?

Have you even read this thread? Your revelation isn't too ground breaking. To bring you up to speed, we are all very happy to have a club to support after the position we have been in over the past couple of months. We don't expect to be challenging in the near future - however, at least we have a future. I'm not sure who you support, I assume Warrington, and if I'm right you should know that positive change is possible with the right backing.
Do us a favour, and don't come the "Sorry Salford" here. This fanbase are delighted that our club is still around. Of course we hope we can field a competitive team and grow in stature as a club in Super League, and we know it's possible as we were at Wilderspool watching our team against Warrington in bottom of the table scraps.
So if it's ok with you, we will dream. And if we can wind up the big clubs whilst we're doing it, all the better.

Probably true. However we still have a 21 year window to claim the superleague title before emulating Warringtons current 58 years since being crowned champions.
