for the benefit of jaymc9 and several of the other posters on this board, that is the REAL world. You should pay it a visit some time.

ok, scrub the finding 7,000 fans yourself, find us an investor?

nope? know no-one? move on then...

Dear Jaymc9 and ex-SalfordUni,

Mr Wilkinson has offered to sell his share of the club to someone who has the best interests of Salford RLFC as a priority.

Here us your chance. Like Mr Wilkinson, you will need some collateral but, from the evidence of your posts, you obviously live in a world of unlimited credit and boundless possibilities. Like Mr Wilkinson, you may expose your homes and savings to being taken from you but, again from your posts, I know you have the drive to see Salford in a fine stadium attracting 20 000 fans and making both of you huge profits.

However I feel that you may not want the criticism you direct to Mr Wilkinson. I'm sure that this can be overcome. As you have in public used your "right" to request Mr Wilkinson spend his own money, I feel that my request will lead to you spending your own.

Please now put up ....

Yours
HBR

and of course your so well known for your optomism aren't you ?

Dear HBR,

I'm [ialmost certain [/ithat EX.SALF.UNI was using irony in his post.

does anyone know how much money we get off the rfl/sky or not? Plus from all the other sponsers that we have?

Not enough for you to come in as Chairman and put nought in to pay wages. 5 weeks for Salford come the Huddersfield match without ANY hom,e income.

of course i wont come in as chairman, i wish i had the money too and i would. The club can't of been running at much of a loss for the past 20+ years or JW would of been long gone and so would the club! I dont know how wealthy the guy is but he cant be that loaded for us not being able to spend the cap, which is why i persume the club cant be making much of a loss as others make out!

A Conservative average loss pa for a RL club like Salford over the 27 years JAW has been Chairman would be £100k. So the Directors in that time would have footed nigh on £3 million of debts from their own after Income Tax on their Savings and Capital Gains Tax on any second properties.

Look at St Helens - all their silverware etc and still they have a huge imbalance met by Directors.

My advice to anybody who aspires to join a Board of a RL club is ...........don`t.

In Wakefield case, that’s not always the way. With a year left on his contract Gaz Ellis was offered pots of money to stay, he went to Leeds for less money, in order to win stuff, and fair play to the lad. There is constant talk of Atkins & Brough been lured away. In fact this board is similar to Wakeys, what with player retention problems, poor attendances & lack of stadium development.

Unless of course that someone has Jaymc9's scrupulous grasp of the running of professional sports clubs...

I wouldn't know how to run a club, i'm just a supporter who questions our clubs ambition or lack of it. How have other clubs progressed over the years, like wakefield, cas and quins? We've just stayed at the same rubbish level apart from one season.

I agree with JAYMC 100% I love the club as much as the next person but some people on here wont hear a bad word against the chairman JayMC is a realist just because he has a different view its a case of all the people who oppose his opinion just gang up, bunch of s this is a forum after all not a who shouts the loudest wins the argument
