I couldn't have put it better myself Butcher. Money is a huge factor in professional sport but I also acknowledge new blood and a fresh approach.

Think it's pretty obvious without first Wilky and secondly the Doc we wouldn't have a club right now.

My thanks go to both for providing me one of the loves of my life, I think for most of us we would be poorer without Salford to follow.

You will find the comments by Mike 87 to be correct, I know from other sources, quite a few things that also went on

Correct or not re hashing this again only causes negativity that doesn't really do anyone any favours and ultimately serves no purpose.

Hey Guys I posted on here about an event I thought was very positive for our club with a professionally run well attended event. It's something very positive with lots of people turning out to buy season tickets and 2015 shirts.
Let's publicise it as such and get people talking positive about "Our Club". Let's face it we are the best marketing people to promote what's going with the Club.
There's too much negativity about and we can change it!

My grandad was the head doorman on the willows he knew the old Co bosses very well and he said Snape (keith brain's brother, Brian was riddled with cancer and was the reason he gave up as chairman) sold the club to Wilkinson before it was then sold to greenalls all underhand apparently, this was before Wilkinson even took control of the rugby club, and I'm being told to read Salford history books? You do realise half the people who write these books get their info from the club ie Wilkinson tarry and the other clowns, I could write a book saying Wilkinson was the great train robber but it doesn't mean it's true, trust me all the legendary stories you hear about Wilkinson arnt true, oh an another thing the willows lost a lot of money when it lost its gambling licence so had to resort to changing the casino to a restraunt, so it wasn't actually Brian snape who flogged the club it was his snide brother trying to sell off his dying brothers assets for a quick buck.

Lets get this right, Wilky bought the club for nothing from a guy that didn't own it, some 17 months before it was official, sold off a huge asset and pocketed the money.

Come on this is bordering on ridiculous.

looks like a typical I'm wrong but ill try and make him look stupid to detract attention.

Yeah he was a small time company at that time he wasn't international then so in international company terms yeah he was small, not white van man small that your making out.

I didn't say for nothing I said for peanuts from Brian Snapes brother who was then owner of the club due to Brian becoming poorly, it was defiantly Wilkinson who sold the club on to greenalls that money was used to expand hid welding firm to the size it is, listen unless you were there don't comment on something you only think you know through reading out of books, and yeah he baught the variety centre first my grandad was called into a meeting about the takeover at the club before Wilkinson took over as chairman, he always disliked Wilkinson and as a kid I never understood why, but after him explaining the underhanded way he took control of the club I now know why, he was a nice guy underneath but that doesn't make him a nice businessman, and that's what you lot have to realise.

But does it matter?

Move along.

That’s a good point actually. A couple have been well researched too though.
