Rupert Prince 1,040 Report post Posted September 22, 2018 33 minutes ago, Man of Kent said: Salford up for sale New money... possibly, but it still leaves a finite number of quality players from somewhere to make use of it. Manchester City (as an example) bought big from all over the world. But an ambitious RL club wanting to improve its squad will find it fishing in a small pool of players.

Yes, that’s why the article says they are: 1 hour ago, Rupert Prince said: “...constantly pushing for silverware” Anyway, good luck to them. We could do with a presence around Manchester.

Desert Skipper 589 Report post Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) 36 minutes ago, DavidM said: That’s a wind up surely I notice it says ‘Rugby’, perhaps deliberately to confuse foreign buyers into rushing to buy a club that plays something they’ve seen on CNN’s world sports show or something. Or maybe the advert appeared in ‘Desert Life’ and is aimed at misleading Middle Eastern country gents looking to expand their portfolio... EDIT: the above paragraph was suppose to be a jokey comment, but I’ve just realised that was exactly what happened to poor Marwan!

The 4 of Us 1,072 Report post Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) 5 hours ago, chuffer said: Tv revenue dropping from 95k to 45k?..... Exactly what I thought. SL money is £1.8M plus. May be that’s a red herring to throw off the scent but if the £3M turnover is right including SL payments that’s just £1M from commercial and crowds. Anyone got Salford’s last accounts to compare? And who stumps up the £8M to Dr M for his debt? And England’s top flight. Not Europe’s! Championship club? Are any close to £3 turnover?
