What exactly have you been told, because you allude to much but offer little.

I maybe wrong but didn't our new chairman state that more players MAY be sold IF investment wasn't forthcoming? He hasn't explained how this gonna happen yet but DK has been sold!i'll be more than surprised that this is correct....At this moment in time that is

It will be a sad, sad day for us if we do lose those 2. And unfortunately something many, many fans wont understand, or get over. Will also kill any chance of finishing top 12 next year, in my eyes...

I wouldn't have thought that any decision to sell players (other than ones who want to go or we others we feel can go) would have been made prior to this evening's meeting (which is basically a fund raising activity, although there are other aims). If the money has already been raised by Dr Devil and his generous offer, then this would take the pressure off. Has meeting been cancelled ie not required, has it buggery!

From a Salford fan who isn't in the know, trust me, if we have signed the 2 players mentioned I have real mixed feelings. I always want my club to sign quality players, and sadly we have not done this too often in the recent past. But the quality players we did sign were sold on to rescue us from financial Armageddon. It is a recent memory and still hurts, so know exactly how you are feeling and if it is any consolation, I know it is a horrible feeling. I hope Wakey get out of their current mess, the heartland clubs need to survive for the future of the game. Best wishes and good luck. By the way haven't a clue if we have signed anyone.

Whoopedoo for you; perhaps if you want to feted for your awesome insider knowledge, you should go post it on the Salford board, rather than baiting people on here?

Bill52 sums it up nicely where as the other condesending Salford fans are really rodding me off.

Why feel the need to come on other clubs forums spouting about signing their best players then apologising for it?

I like Koukash and the money he is ploughing into your club but please stop acting like the Harry Enfield character "Loadsamoney". Yes we know you have money to spend and we are up sh*t creek but imagine owning a £200k house with lots of debts and some rich to55er comes along, offers you £100k and apologises for it???

FWIW I hope you do well next season as it's nice to see the so called smaller clubs get a windfall but cast your mind back a few months and think about how you were feeling at the time.

I apologise, got my 'John Gilbert Reds' mixed up with my 'redtillamdead79s'.
I understand the point you are making but out of all the players you have mentioned, M.Smith would be the most difficult one to lose.
When 'redtillamdead79' comes on banging on about how we should thank the DR from the bottom of our hearts and be forever in his debt, for 'looking after us', that's a bit too smug for me.

You'd think, given our (Salford's) recent history, that we'd be a bit more understanding of the plight of other clubs in trouble. To be fair, I think the vast majority of us are. There's just the odd one or two (Red League is the other one to watch out for) who feel the need to go on other clubs' forums and tell everyone 'what they know' (or claim to know). I've never understood why they feel the need to do this - particularly as they so often seem to be wrong - but they do. Please don't think they are typical of Salford fans in general. Most of us know what you're going through, and know how crap it feels.

Best wishes for the future.

Still a Wakefield player. Someone's looking like the fool.

take no notice of Bill52.... he is in the know.... when salford got rid of their old CEO (david tarry) bill Ta**or stepped in for few weeks. and looked what everybodys contract was and their role was in the club... also he is best friends with shirley and alan bradshaw who run the forever reds supporters club and also have Theo fages as their lodger.... so yes he is in the know

Wow you really are a bright one aren't you? Please point me in the direction of my baiting and awesome insider knowledge. Clown.



Matty Smith was by far our biggest loss. Our performances last season noticeably deteriorated without him in the team. Holdsworth and Moon were still big losses for us though and it hasn't surprised me to see how well they've done for Leeds and Hull.

Nobody should be in anybody's debt, the majority of Salford fans didn't enjoy the manner in which we signed Tim Smith. We empathise with the situation you find yourself in. I just hope Wakefield are fairly financially reimbursed for the loss of any of your star players.

Holdsworth and Moon, whilst being big losses are overseas and replaceable. It's when you lose your British players that the situation becomes worse.
