Having concerns about the Sale move doesn't make anyone a prophet of doom. Not sure I have ever claimed to be an expert on the clubs finances or the way it is being run. When Early Bath posts the 30 positives of this move for Salford I may change my opinion.

Facinating stuff from EB and PT



PT presume JW wants £5m for nearly 30 years of hard graft and probably huge losses financially over that time and I wouldn't bregude him that

Money is the main thing here DT would need a golden handshake a new owner would want his own people in so this would happen sooner or later

As for SS you want rid of him but we would need a replacement for sure to allow PV and SL to concentrate on coaching any suggestions? SS is a better Director of football than DT was back in the late 1990s and I think a change might bring new ideas but without a replacement then its a no from me.



But I do take your point PT £5m and you don't get anything physical you can call an assit is a huge bump in the road when deciding to buy the club, probably the reason BK or anyone else hasn't shown an interest or if he has made it known



EB karlos is a good lad he ain't no dinosaur so when your sending the 30 advantages cut me in on it too

Pev has answered for me re JAWs Loans & DT. Re SS - He is governed totally by the Budget given and for me he does a decent job. I dont think DJ, Cashmere, Stapo, Patten, Rutcho have been poor players - do you?



The position is clear and surely its not worth going over old ground. JAW is stuck with the club unless a Fairy Godfather appears which is about 1000/1 I would estimate. I fear for the club and have said previously unless we embrace the new connection in the next 2 years I would doubt whether we will get another Franchise as Administration would follow. Its quite clear that JAW has had enough.

Karlos if you play Poker its very unwise to show your hand if you want to win. What I will say re the advantages for SCR will come from a Joint initiative with Sale to make the whole of Mcr & Salford aware that all roads lead to Barton. It will take time and money but the rewards could be vast. The dinosaurs will have to embrace Sale - warts and all - for Salford to survive. Its a simple equation and we cannot do it on our own.

The clubs poker face is very good because we don't have a clue what's going on





As for SS you could also add mick burne, mark corvo, Greg Ebrill and cabbage I think ??to that list, fact is we won't know how good a Director of football SS is until we have somebody to compare him too compared to DT he is premier league

Interesting that for all the name calling elsewhere and the attempts to shift this into yet another anti-Wilky/Simms/Tarry tirade, nobody's yet to pick up on any of the above....



It's easier to trade in insults and supposition than debate the actual facts I guess.

go on ill answer your questions



1) no i want the salford city stadium to be a success it should be used to promote the city and be viewed in the same light as the lowry and media city as a shining light in the city

2) probably closed all together if im honest as if it is purchased by a private company they could easily kick the citys premier sports club out and as long as the council has a say i think we are safe in using the facility

3)I would be happy with improvements in and around the stadium BUT i would hope any major structual changes would not take place during OUR season as loss of revenue would be crutial

4) I would be pleased if we had memoribia up on the walls and in the stands, and if it means sale has the same then i surpose so be it, it HAS to be equal mind if its not then leave it bare

5)I think the club has shown ambition moving to barton and its a good sign they are taking a chance rather than a slow painful death over the next 30 years



I Would be interested in the lets say "extreme" views of certain people on this board on the the questions put to us by WF hopefully they will reply

I'm willing to take part in a rational debate. Please could you list the 30 benefits to the club you can see, so that I can take them on board and give my opinions?



If you ignore DI, MM and so on, many of us have been posting some genuine concerns about not only the Sale "link-up", but the way in which Salford has been run and the way we are our own worst enemy. These concerns always seem to get passed over whilst people concentrate on the baseless ranting of a tiny few.



In return I will, when I have a few moments, sit down and properly read and respond to your post above.

He has his poker face on he ain't going to list them perhaps we should make a list of our own and then EB can tell us how many are on his list, quite disappointed nobody else has answered the questions STILL

I don't know whether anyone has seen the FAQ Sale Sharks produced for its fans: www.salesharks.com/RugbyNewsDeta ... le/2721098 I'm not sure whether we produced something similar but you should be able to pick through the useful bits. Worth a read.

Interesting would have been great if we had done something similar
