Surely that apology would be best directed towards the man who was on the receiving end? Then it would be his decision if he excepted.

Could owning two clubs be a way around the salary cap? Maybe it's forward planning for the next big spending spree.

I don't know and have asked the same when the Doc was looking at Oldham, think the rule were a player on loan has to be at a club for at least a month might make that tricky.

Lets assume we sign an extra 2-3 quality players for 2015 and pay them through the Swinton club. Don't make the signings public and then loan them to Salford. Then announce them as Salford signings for the media publicity. RL come in and check salary cap and they find these players are exempt because they are loan players from Swinton.

Quote: Michigan red "I can't for the life of me see why the Doc would want to get involved with Swinton! Sure Salford were a basket case when he bought us but he had the knowledge that we were in the top tier of our sport in Europe, Swinton are not and are highly unlikely ever to be so.

I do hope that he uses Swinton as nothing more than a feeder club for Salford and have something in place in Swintons contracts that Salford automatically get first dibs on any decent players they might unearth.

Do think the idea of a stadium is folly and money wasted, surely the cost of that would be best served being used in his battle to buy Barton and build the infrastructure surrounding it, can't see anything making the Barton facilities open to Swinton and maybe just look at opening the west stand. Seeing as Swinton would be using the onsite facilities would make most sense to me to have the whole organisation based in the same offices as Salford to make best use of the back room staff already employed by Salford.

See that certain individuals are trying to squirm out of the crap they at first sprouted when the Doc took control shows the stupidity of some people though I guess.'"

You need to get a grip. I'm glad that when we were in our hour of need last year, fans of other clubs were big enough to look past the behaviour of our online tools and not give us the deathwish. Christ know how you'd have reacted to them if they'd come on hoping for an end to us if this is how you react to a little light trolling.

The difference is I have never once gone onto a another teams forum, be that to troll or post anything else.

Think the garbage sprouted by Marshy amounted to more than a little light trolling and I do know he annoyed others on here just as much as me but they will not openly say it as they have mutual friends.

Salford Red Devils RLFC. [quote="Gotcha":y7izhg01]Salford won't win Super League in my lifetime. Even saying in jest they would sounds stupid.[/quote:y7izhg01]:



Why don't you just give the Swinton related topics a miss in future? You've been made to look a t*t previously on this subject with your only defence relating to some pathetic "disagreement" with a Swinton fan on an internet message board some time ago.

Save yourself the further embarrassment.

I have the courage of my convictions to be honest enough to admit it, why do you bother reading my posts then if they don't agree with you?

Amusing to see Michigan Red go into a meltdown every time Swinton get a mention on here.

A.Marshall:



I read Michigan Reds comments and in all fairness I can't blame him, I was very scathing in some of my comments. I did however think we had struck an accord when our paths crossed at the RL Final after the game in the Lime Bar, clearly not.
He questions why MK would want to "waste his money" well he clearly doesn't understand the individual that is MK, the developer. The site in Swinton is central in what is perceived to be the heart of the City of Salford and with ownership of that land in the hands of the local council it makes it so much more attractive than the land at Barton which of course means MK getting Peel Holdings on board as well.
Clearly and in fairness Mich hasn't been privy to Mk's full development plans for the area around the old Ambrose Barlow School site but I can confirm it encompasses much more than a 3000 seat stadium.
Mich states he fails to understand why MK would want to get involved with Swinton, although accepting that this time last year the " basket" case that was Salford was a better prospect due to them playing and in fairness I use that word loosely, in the top tier of RL in Europe which isn't difficult since there are no other alternatives in Europe. However at last nights meeting MK outlined his desire to own Swinton subject to getting his way with the development and turn them into the best team at the level they play and not ruling out the possibility of both clubs one day challenging in the top tier.

As for apologising to MK in person, well indeed when we met last night I did bring the subject up and he was gracious in my comparisons.

Far better the person who can admit to being wrong than the man who holds a grudge hey my friend Michigan.

Don't worry he's got you as a foe, so unless he's prepared to eat humble pie and read your post then I suspect the grudge may be held in perpetuity.

No not been on the radio since the halcyon days Mark and/or Lard.

As I say I restrict my views on Swinton to here.
