First of all they circled their prey with just their fin breaking the water .... if they can scavenge they will

Then they strike and strike hard (this will be in the form of negotiating well with Peel i.e. if they (you) go down the pan then don't worry as we will still be here .... for us it was all about their false promises of looking after SCFC and our future



Then they set their PR machine in motion and no doubt their friendly 'Uncle Dave' will post a few times on here promising things like 'your history will always be uppermost in our dealings with Salford' ... with us that meant ripping memorabilia from the walls and lobbing it in the skip! apologies later ... much later!

He will also spout cr^p about 'we can have shared fans groups' ... ha ha yeah yeah

BK might appear with kids in tow wearing a Reds scarf (maybe a Sharks/Reds combined scarf ... nice!)

Look out for the 'special' shared season tickets deals and special shared ticket offers .... they like this as they can poach fans!

They will promise 'equal respect' .... then they kicked us out of the club shop into a 'broom cupboard' and stopped us using the boardroom

It starts with slow subtle changes .... already started for you i.e. different colour lights on match days, separate advertising that slowly becomes 'left up' and it will be with much bigger and profitable 'sponsors' than yours so needs leaving in place

I ask one question ... he is worth something like £365 million or something like ... why do they not just build there own? why act like parasites latching onto a 'host' body?

They have finished with Edgeley now ..... its falling apart, the roofs have asbestos issues, the Conference & Banqueting area is like a greasy spoon, they have invested next to nowt and SCFC are to carry on renting what was our once proud home.

None of this might happen to you of course and it might go really, really well?

No ... of course it WILL go really, really well ..... for them!!!!

Best of luck in your new relationship

just watch for the PR spin

Tell me now Michegan red,Lyrad red and all the other names you post under ,what do YOU say to that? maybe lyrad red you should up your sponsorship from your national money spinning company.and save us.

I have only ever used the one log in name so not got a clue what your banging on about there.

I fail to see the significance as.

A: Brian Kennedy hasn't to the best of my knowledge just bought Salford!
B: Sale sharks don't own the stadium!

I for all my dislike of football feel for Stockport but they freely chose to sell to Kennedy. Stockport can never make much of the ground they have in the area it is in, pretty certain the only alternative they would have had was to sell it and go for the an option like we have built by the council. Actually not entirely sure why (*or if) Kennedy hasn't tried this, there is plenty of land in the Borough of Stockport to build a development like Barton and in there case there was already two sports teams in need of the facilities.

The people I admire when it comes to investigating the entire background of those 'investing' in a sports club
are those on 'Red Passion' the Wrexham FC fans forum.They are brilliant and had the RFL bothered to consult them they would have known all about Moss and Roberts et al.at Wrexham.

Brian Kennedy is rich and has beliefs contrary to my own.I am a misanthropist and do not trust many people anyway.
However,'poach fans from Salford City Reds' ? If that is only hard to believe what is even more difficult to comprehend is why he chose to 'rip off' a small club like Stockport County ? Why not follow the example of others - Bill Archer at Brighton,those at Wrexham etc.and sell/try to sell the ground to a shopping or housing group ?
As the report from his bid for Glasgow Rangers reveals he has a wife who is friends with the wife of Graeme Souness.Why not buy a 'proper' soccer club and just take the profits from deals done with the soccer agent friend of Souness;the one who lives near to Sir Alex Ferguson.

If he wants to dominate the north west Bolton and Blackburn stadia would be better.

For a rich bloke to wait until he reaches the age he is now to upset a small(ish) number of people at a small club who have now dropped one league (?) since he got involved does seem a strange course of action for someone we are led to believe is on a mission to destroy sports club(s).

Time to call Red Passion for more information to be gleaned...

He needed a new stadium at the time to fulfill requirements for Sale to be promoted as Heywood road was too small.

Why not build Sale their own ground ... he has the money!

Who said anything about him being on a mission to 'destroy sports clubs'? He needed a Stadium and happened to destroy a football club whilst achieving it ..... he has now moved them onto another one.

as I said ... it might be ok for you and it might not .... it will be ok for them, that's for certain!

Good to see a post from a Stockport fan. The vast majority of sensible fans are concerned about the Sale ground share.

Probably because he would have to find a suitable site,then satisfy the NIMBY's,then the environmentalists and protectors of the lesser-sighted newts,then wait for enquirys and everything else that takes for ever and a day.
I shall probably contact Mick-Mack from your lot sometime soon and get the full sp.I thought he was just complaining about the state of the pitch.



Despite Mr Nasty being the owner you did still have a chairman,a board,manager and everything else was ran as normal.I'm surprised Jim Gannon didn't make reference to any complaints when he was a manager in Scotland if everything was as bad as has been made out.

PS - Where is Peter Ward now ?

I believe Wardy is working in a factory somewhere ...if so then that's a crime, great bloke but can't really return to the club now having been number 2 then number 1 then back to number 2 .... wouldn't really work I reckon.

JG has had plenty to say on the Sharks debacle but he plays a canny game does Jim and says it to the right people at the right time.

As for your points regarding BK ..... its all well documented, don't get me wrong when I say that the Fans Trust were so naive it was untrue, that nobody comes out of this smelling of roses but ultimately BK had a game plan to separate the club from the ground and then edge the football club out whilst milking it for all its worth )and still is ... the rent is currently deferred not forgone as his PR would have you believe

)

As for their general behavior towards the club ... well ... they are already saying in house that to make this new relationship work they should not make the same mistakes as they did with County ... they treated us like garbage, just ask around.
