Come on Stouffer,
do you want to be the Watneys Red (Wigan), Whitbread (Warrington), or InBev (Leeds)

or

Thornbridge (Salford)?

You couldn't have summed my feelings up any better!

Nor mine mate

If I was even remotely religious, I'd be praying very hard right now... might give it a try anyway

It's getting harder to be pessimistic about it all which is obviously a good thing.

" No this can't be right , we're not that lucky "

That's what I've been thinking. After all unless you were a serious Flat Racing punter it would have been ' Dr Who? - knew about him before Monday '.When his name was mentioned .
then who would have anticipated a millionaire into the sport of kings would want to be involved in TTG, and then the runt of the SL Litter - Salford Reds ?
To say the last couple of years supporting reds have been a Rollercoaster, and the sickening feeling following the Church Meeting is a mild understatement.

Trying not to clutch at straws is difficult + the thought of being gratefull to Nigel Wood / RFL , and possibly Eamon McManus if this comes off is sticking in the craw.. never a dull moment .

couldn't have put it better myself am praying that this comes off.Like you I left that meeting convinced we were finished but hope springs eternal

In fact, the constant waiting before Xmas was bad, even though we all knew exactly what was going to happen. The waiting now, after being drip-fed positive news (in itself a novel feeling) is positively sickening. The sooner the deal is Public, the sooner I can sleep properly again. Just like others on here, I feel like something is going to happen to kick us back down after almost getting back up.

You'd think we would become hardened to this being Salford fans...

I think the deal is almost done, the only thing that they will be meeting about is the stadium rental agreement he'll probably want to make a better deal with that, and to be honest by the sounds of it in his interview he's very confident the deal will be completed in days, to hear that from a news reporter is one thing but to hear it from the man himself makes itbanwhole lot more encouraging.

Christ 10 and then we've already got Dixon and shaken hands with Gleeson that's a lot of new faces. Are we still looking at the Wigan lads? think someone said on another thread but promising as Sunday was I still think we need two or three real grafters in the front row and you'd hope that Andrew Chalmers knows a few decent available players down under as to my reckoning we have all our quota spots available.

At this rate, the Club will be unrecognizable within a month...

I hope I haven't tempted fate...?

Butcher tempting fate is a load of rubbish. The guy has come out in public saying he wants to take us over and make us successful oh and he says the deal should be done in days? if that's not something to be posotive about what is?
