[quote="Theeaststander1":3gz96cvw]you have to remember it was salford that sold the dream to the RFL back in October and 'proved' they would receive income to support the 700k black hole they are departing for Portugal on Saturday on an all expenses warm weather training camp, dont have sympathy for it, they laughed and now theyre reaping their reward[/quote:3gz96cvw] Oh I have no sympathy for them, and quite simply they don't have enough fans. Even the Grand Final and CC final appearances and top4 finishes haven't got the turnstiles clicking. I do have a big issue with what IMG are doing though, surely even the most basic of financial audits would have shown the numbers just weren't stacking up. Also why not just demote them now? What's the point of them limping on for 1 more year? they already had the lowest score in SL and a poor league finish dragging down their currently good performance score will make matters worse.

[quote="ComeOnYouUll":mq3q7c52]Is he in effect doing what James Clarke was doing - wasn't he doing both roles?[/quote:mq3q7c52] Seems so and that didn't end well. It's not great that Richie will be approving contracts he's drawn up himself, a good CEO would at least be asking the DOR some questions to sense to check that club aren't yet again entering a bad player deal. Do realise that sometimes a Head Coach will demand a certain player regardless of what the DOR and/Or CEO think though.

Be interesting to see how FC's overall set up compares to this https://wiganwarriors.com/club/whos-who/

Maybe Thirkill will be a little more hands on in his Chairman's role than we originally thought.

What’s also written in the Mail is the concept of Swap Deals as it’s pretty damn obvious that Salford need a playing squad !!! That got me thinking real hard ! Lane Fash Sao - surely we can swap these guys out !! Didn’t I read on here someone suggesting Lane as a Marquee signing ? I nearly internally combusted ! Surely we can swap some bang average players out and create some more cap space The League suggesting we can take on an extra Overseas signing if helping Salford and extra salary cap. Interesting to say the least Off load Sao Fash and Lane and get 4 forwards lol
