| According to the Nosey Parker columns in League Weekly, Salford are having to cut the wage bill as three sponsors (Peel Holding, Teley's, and MEN) are cutting down on their financial support.
This has affected Wilshere and also could be an impact on what Mr Parker refers as "backroom staff". (However another report refers to two being recruited to this and MR McRae wanting "five or six" new signings)
There are errors in the report but I feel much seems correct. Therfore it follows that it may mean Mr Myler's transfer fee is swallowed up by the fiscal needs of the wage-bill.

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

| Maintaining sponsorship is getting difficult in the recession.
I believe Heinz have stopped or are stopping their sponsorship of both Wigan Warriors and Wigan Athletic.

| The new Inland Revenue rules may be a factor. No more off shore accounts so higher tax and NI contributions so reduced wages for players.
Personally I applaud the club for cutting cloth according to their means.

| Regardless of who is responsible I truly believe taht the club are missing some very valuable marketing opportunities. The club shop is a joke!!! It has very little stock and the one on the ground doesn't take cards, so if you find something you like but haven't got the cash you have to walk out without buying.
Stuff for kids is almost non existant.... clubs excuse, there's no call for it. That's rather funny as I am always looking for stuff for my 2 year old and I can't be the only one. They seem to think that they can't stock things like baby grows and bibs etc because it doesn't sell straight away in the first 6 months. If it had a generic design it could be kept in stock for ages and eventually sold bit by bit.
In many respects the club has no forward thinking on these issues and some new ideas are drastically needed.

To be fair it does get tiring, flogging a dead horse...

I've been critical of the Club shop for years now and nothing changes. Very poor. If you can get someone to answer phone/email it's like winning the lottery. No online store even though a lot of amateur RL sides have their own online stores these days.
Sad that something so simple can't be managed Even if it is flogging a dead horse, it could at least do it properly.

| The club have no idea when it comes to marketing and it wont look good on the franchise if we need to sell to sustain the club. There is no attraction to support a club that sells its best youngsters to survive. Also where is all the marketing gone on the stadium. That again i say aint going to happen. I have had a season ticket for 19 years now and to be honest we are going back to the dark ages. From what i have seen over the last three years i will no longer pump money into a club that dont care about there fans and decieve you at every turn. And as for the club shop its been crap for god knows how long.

| Neil72, I really think you should offer your services as a director, or at the least marketing consultant and financial analyst - clearly the club is crying out for proven ability and professionalism

| In a way this was my worry. Last season the club really seemed to get into gear for the franchise bid, we signed Robbie Paul and tried to get publicity and won everything we could, advertised more than we do now we are in Super League, really helped to get fans travelling. We are capable of doing well on the marketing side of things, but we just seem to have sat back and relaxed now we have got the franchise and we can't afford to do that. No matter how annoyed and frustrated we may get as fans we still have to support the club, if we don't then we definately stand no chance for the future. Its not entirely in our hands to make a positive difference for our club, but its not entirely out of our hands either.

| Lets have a Salford Reds megastore to rival MUFC, we could build it on the club car park and stock it with hundreds of items. It will run at a huge loss but who cares.
Supply and demand people If the club could make money out of a particular item I am sure they would sell it.
