Salford financial issues(again…)
Red Willow replied to LeytherRob's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
The "Investors" want the land around the stadium, yet to be developed. They speak to the Council who want to save their own investment in the stadium so make the club part of the deal. The investors don't want to put money into the club with the deal for the land so are stalling. Players aren't getting paid so Sneyd is sold to Wire, Nene can't be far behind. I don't blame them. The club is a basket case and it's depressing. If we were an animal we would be put out of our misery. The RFL share some of the blame for letting this drag on for so long. -

I've been a fan since I was barely a teenager. This is some awful torture, a slow and painful death. Why sell him now if the takeover is going to happen? I think after this I am just about done too. I don't think I can take much more. The club are just taking advantage of fans giving no info. The other thing I don't understand is why RFL would move the game V Leigh and risk another awful massacre on TV. -

If Salford fail, I really hope they don't replace us with a another basket case such as the Bulls. Lets face it that area of Yorkshire has enough coverage lets do something to expand the game. Now on to Salford, We need to pay all employees and be honest about why this didn't happen. The RFL need to explain their role (or lack of it) It's a mess and might just be the final nail for me even with a season ticket. -

The drama that keeps on giving. We've had years of this and it's hard to face it all again. -
Film Thread (What have you been watching?)
Red Willow replied to John Drake's topic in Any Other Business / Any Other Sports
Finally got round to watching The French Dispatch. Meant to go to see it at the cinema but it had a really short run. -
The hit looked bad but Broadies was dipping as Shorrocks came in. There was contact with the head so yellow card. The damage was done by Ormerod's hard head. The incident really brought up old images when he did move. That was a Leeds game too Salford got what they deserved from the game, so many forced stupid passes, and my new pet hate the skipping players!! As a team they need to fight to get up noy lying passively until the defender moves off. Looked rusty and much work to do.

Whilst not defending Rowley or Salford, but if the RFL agreed the team then how will they justify any action? -

Its frustrating to say the least. The RFL could have done more to clear the take over, but it is a petulant move by Salford in a game with a potential audience on BBC. Hate it is my club yet again being talked about in this way. -

Why wouldn't we provide an unbiased view. Most of the fans I know are level headed. Most clubs in SL would struggle if their benefactor walked out, King picked up the pieces following the mess Koukash caused. He steadied the ship. On the other hand he gambled the future on being a community club and funding that never materialised. Irwin was involved at the Roosters, so has a background in RL. -

Awful, one of them has a first class law degree. She think Bayern and Pete are anagrams of each other -

It won't matter where we finish, we will be relegated anyway. We could finish top, win the final but still have the lowest b grade anyway -

Same place as before. It isn't a share we knew that last year. Fans of other clubs have made it seem most fans didn't know it at the time. -

Every single year some drama. If the club can't pay the wages for a season they have no right to sign them. Hoping the council tip up again is no way to run a business. Been a fan a very long time but it's drama after drama. -

He is a big lad who seemed to work in very very short spells. He gave away too many pens and stood with his hands on his hips too frequently for me. I found him frustrating to watch. -

Glad he left, was a waste of money. Hope Fev can get something from him. -

As for the willows, it wasn't sold to deal with debt. The ground would have cost over million to get the safety cert. Red City Developments was created to get the new stadium, then Labour called the project in for planning causing a delay and in this time one of the lessor known directors got in to trouble so Peel took over. Wilkinson walked away and in came the walking disaster of Koukash. Paul King has tried to make the club pay, but it's been hard. Lets face it few clubs make a profit and are at the mercy of chairmen paying the bills. -
