no you dont get it , salford rlfc make money , if we were running at a lose do you really think mr wilky would be pumping money in season after season , the shirt sponsers etc pump thousands of pounds into the club , the crowd just covers the running of the club , the willows makes profit , replica shirt make profit , spin offs make profit , mr wilky is a very clever man he would not be in it to throw money away , face facts , tell me last time salford paid a transfer fee to buy a decent player ????????

"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.

who let the council have the ground so they could build houses for doctors and nurses , not me , so selling out all our history , who let the name red devils go , not me , great marketing tool , who is about to let the core of the team go ie , myler , turner , ratchford , not me , so what do i know about business not a lot , but i love my team as much as the next red



the red devils

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



the red devils

Just a couple of other points.


...Gary Broadbent from Widnes for £55,000 in 1997

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"

as others do, i see the accounts.

your are simply wrong. it can be proved your wrong. join the real world.

Just thought I should put club gate income into perspective for you

6 Salford Home Games 2009

Low 3367
High 7016
Total 29107
Av 4851

So 29107 at say £10+ per head average = say £350k

Look at the staff at The Willows before even coming to the Playing Squad. The Directors must have pumped hundreds of thousands in this Season to keep things going for you and me.

In their position would you not feel a sale of Myler to be prudent?

I can't believe anyone is still trying to reason with you after you made the above comment which is, without doubt, the most stupid, ill-informed ridiculous post that I have ever seen on our message board.

Anything that you have said previously, or will say in the future, will now be absolutely meaningless because you have proved that you are, in every sense of the word, an idiot.

Here are the figure from the last 3 years ( most recent first ) taken from the Salford accounts - publicly available.

Profit & Loss Account Reserve -4,271,742 -11.4 % -3,834,736 -15.8 % -3,312,213

Shareholder Funds -3,082,290 -16.5 % -2,645,284 -24.6 % -2,122,761
Net Worth -3,082,290 -16.5 % -2,645,284 -24.6 % -2,122,761


It would take a genius of the Bernie Madoff class to interpret this as 'making a profit'.
