take a gamble SPLASH THE CASH
And end up like Swinton, Oldham and countless others. Even Wigan after all their success ended up millions in debt, facing bankruptcy and lost Central Park due to this approach. Indeed if fit wasnt for Dave Whelan building the JJB they could now be leading a nomadic lifestyle with no groud and playing to tiny attendances in Bolton.

salfords support at wigan was the best they had ever seen from away fans , quote from cherry and whites website:icons1949_files/3844-1306henky-msnicons.jpg



Quote: BartonFlyer "What Cash?

Are you dipping into your pocket to provide it?

Will you guarantee a loan for the club?

Come on folks - get real - the whole Rugby League industry in this country is struggling - sport is an industry and there just isn't enough interest in RL for it ever to lift itself to a level where it can generate the kind of income that is going to sustain a league of top quality full time professionals.

Maybe it's my natural pessimism, or maybe it's too many glasses of red, but when I look at the history of RL over the last 10 years or so and the great names that are now just also-rans (Rochdale, Featherstone, Hunslet, Swinton, Oldham, Widnes and on and on) I really struggle to see a bright future for the sport that we all love.

See you all on the terraces next week (if I haven't cut my throat with the rusty razor by then) !!'"


the cash he is spending on the museum would do , either make your mind up mr wilky , do you want us to be right up there ? or do you want us to be a feeder club , i mr wilky thank you for what you have done for this great club , but feel we the fans are being treated like mushrooms at times , ie news on the stadium ,offers for richie , who s staying , whos going , lies about pre- season trip , just be honest , thats all we ask , we are all salford and will continue to follow the reds home and away

you simply dont get how the world works do you?

JW has been keeping the club afloat for years...he is able to do that by making sound investments in other areas. salford rlfc is a sunk cost and we're lucky, and should be thankful, that he continues to sink money in!

"salford rlfc make money"


yeh right

No 1 tip by the financial times to support the credit crunch.


Some people are thick - end of story - the explanation in simple English leaves them.
There's only one club in the two top leagues of Super League who would survive if thec sugar daddy left - Leeds.

So get rid of Mr Wilkinson and kiss goodbye to Salford.

I feel some posters know as much about business as AEG.

If you are really Salfords No1 I hate to think what No 10 would be like.

The Salford City Reds are totally reliant on JW, HC and the other directors to keep the club going.

The sponsors do pump thousands into the club but this money and what is taken from the gate, the lottery etc goes towards all the costs involved in running a professional Rugby League club.

The gate receipts dont go anywhere near to covering the running costs of the club.

Since the Bosman ruling very few Rugby League Clubs pay transfer fees for players.

Absolute cobblers - Salford RLFC loose money hand over fist - the last published accounts show that the balance of the profit and loss account went from a deficit of £3.8 million to a deficit of £4.2 million in a year - i.e. lost a further £600,000 in a year.

The accounts also contain the following statement as a qualification by the auditors:

1 B Going Concern
The company has received loans from its parent company, The Wilkinson Corporation Limited, other subsidiaries of The Wilkinson Corporation Limited and pension schemes whose beneficiaries are some of the directors of the company. Without these loans, the company would be unable to meet its working capital requirements. Some of these loans are repayable on demand. However the directors of The Wilkinson Corporation Limited have given assurance that they will not require repayment unless other sorces of funding become available.

If you want to see for yourself - go to the Companies House website - it costs £1 to download the published accounts.

Oh so he can't be allowed to have other interests and investments?
they can always bail themselfs out of creek with the sale of myler adamson ratchford ,this really could be a turning point in the history of salford , let these players go and lose everything , keep them and build a team capaable of being in the top four , mr wilky and the boards its up to you

Just a couple of other points.

Quote: salfords no 1 "who let the council have the ground so they could build houses for doctors and nurses , not me /quote]
Nobody, the ground was sold to Godliman & Watson Homes and it they who own the Willows.

And as has been said, it's very, very rare in any sport these days for players to move for transfer fees due to the Bosman Ruling, however to answer the question...

I suggest that people read that paragraph again and have a good think (if that's possible for some) about it before shouting off. If you want a lay person's translation, it basically says "if it wasn't for the directors putting their hands in their pockets the club would be fooked"
