Personally, I am "miffed" that Salford's licence is claimed to be essential to the game because of it's Manchester/BBC connection.
It clearly isn't and it's becoming hard to justify the Reds SL place, on any criteria, above clubs such as Fev & Fax.
Having said that, we were on our downers not too long back (not as bad as you, mind), yet Glover has turned us around very quickly, so there is hope. I would suggest the clock is ticking though, as Fev, for example, get their ground in order.
As an outsider looking in, I would say the Wilkinson/Simms regime is holding you back now.'"
Wilkinson has done a fantastic job keeping the club stable, especially when it was not included in super league one and two relegations. He is looking for new blood and investment and would willingly step aside if this was forthcoming. Simms should be axed years ago and as much as a I respect Mr Wilkinson his perseverance with Simms has been a huge error.
In terms of super league licenses, there is too much said on paper rather than put into practice. Our franchise is very much on potential but most Salford fans will accept we cannot use this card for ever. Was impressed with the Leigh Sports Village and believe they would be an asset to super league if given the opportunity.
