Investors may not have decided to come on board before Matty smith decided to leave which was a while before he actually did - hopefully it will be announced in the next few weeks then phil can go on building a team Who want to play for the shirt next year - peel would be could because of the money but who would they put in charge of running the club because the current set up is not working hopefully it's someone who shares JW passion for the club and just isn't buying us to make any money possible by selling every right to sale - I fear that this whole Leigh thing has brought a backlash with fans and hopefully has not put any potential investors off !!

"still worth being wrong to learn that Robert Peel was from Bury"


not been there (not even to the market)?

I suppose its not rhubarb or Charles Waterton!

Where's the Marty Smith money gone then

He called it Peel after the town in IOM,where he has a house,,despite the coincidental connection with Bury.

Quote: Bonita Red "He called it Peel after the town in IOM,where he has a house,,despite the coincidental connection with Bury.'" he didn't. as the Peel Group website explains (see www.peel.co.uk/aboutus/history-and-vision). the name is taken from Peel Mills, the Bury based business he took on some time ago that was owned historically by the family of Robert Peel. anyway, enough of the history lesson.

Are you still "never eating chocolate again"?

I think I've read somewhere lately that John Wilkinson has a 5 year plan to take us Reds to the next level ( Eddie Hemings also mentioned it in commentary today too).

So realistically speaking does he really want to sell up or does he solely want an investor just to throw money at his baby.....

A five year plan eh......Another whopping pork pie to blag the socks of the superleague franchise system.... Hilarious

Eddie actually referred to a 3 year plan in commentary. I, myself was staggered when I heard this, as I could not comprehend how even the brainpower and acumen we have at Salford could have shaved 2 years off, what will be a clearly a well thought out plan since yesterday. It was obvious to me early that the plan would have covered all possible angles, and have built in multiple contingences to cover things like imminent bankruptcy down to a granular level such as the milkman petioning the High Court in London for unpaid bills.

Upon further relection since the end of the game, I feel Eddie must be mistaken. Mr. Hemmings is usually such a well informed journalist too, but to believe Salford would be challenging for honors in 3 years seems foolhardy, 5 years is a far more credible and believeable figure.

Unless JW has a multi millionaire willing to put money in then any 3yr or 5 yr plan is pie in the sky.
We are in the $hit big style.
Only good news from this year is that two of the biggest gob$hites to ever pull on the famous red shirt are leaving.

Jeez,at least its five years less than the last promise we had,you know ,our own stadium,full cap,richest club in rugby league,yeah right,maybe in the north west counties div 6 we will be .Then again?
