Roger Ritchie Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 are ground isn't miles away from where it should be? and we are in league one.. room for improvement into the league above! they're in the top league and no room for improvement at all! You say Salford have never been a big team. They were top dogs when the Willows club was at it's peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Salford have never and will never be a big super league team Like Roger Ritchie says. they have had their moments - and I'd say they'll play/buy themselves into contention soon too.

opinions4u Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Not saying he's dodgy, but I think people are right to be wary.That applies to any potential owner. But on the face of it, the bloke is loaded, he seems committed to sport as a hobby and would bring fresh impetus and ideas. I'm not saying we should be unhappy about it, but at least we should want to know more about what is intended, before we crown him King.Town move bad. Ground move good. Ground / Team improvements good. I still think it's more to do about getting in the media myself, or at least it could be a way off before he gets involved in football.Based on?

MAC0AFC Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Like Roger Ritchie says. they have had their moments - and I'd say they'll play/buy themselves into contention soon too. but so have roughyheads haha, and looking at their recent signings.. the only one that catches my eye as a great buy is chase!

mrs synic Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 why would Mk move us to salford, there are 2 rugby teams there already, one minute everyone wants Corney out the next whoever comes in we dont want, koukach is a respected figure in horse racing and has just brought in 12 new top players to salford reds, spending up to the salary cap, doesn.t sound dodgy to me, and is very successful at everything he does, he likes to make money, nothing wrong with that !!! you have to spend to make it, as his investment in salford proves i hope he wants to do the same for us, please dont come back with Moore excuse cos it we always lived in the past we would still be wearing clogs and caps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're joking right? With his head screwed on Hock is one of if not the best forward in the league. Jake Mullaney is a top quality full back. Walton will easily slot into Super league. Smith has been stand out at Wakefield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAC0AFC Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Forget this. rougheads haven't bad much less success then Salford.. founders of the super league, plenty of cup finals - won the 1st division a few times many years ago and won a few challenge cups, that was my point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomkins won't be there next year he'll be eating kiwi fruits. Wellens has been finished for the past four years. Hardaker needs to learn to pass the ball before he can be talked of as anything special. Edited September 6, 2013 by Roger Ritchie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) why doesn't Corney strike up a deal of joint ownership? surely the pair can thrash it out. Edited September 6, 2013 by Lags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardaker needs to learn to pass the ball before he can be talked of as anything special. think you're right about tomkins but i still believe there's 4/5/6 better fullbacks before mullaney! although he will become a lot better over the next few years no doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmer1 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 If he wants it, them surely something could be put in the contract to state that the club cannot be relocated out of Oldham for the next however many years or something along those lines? Surely anybody not looking to move the club would not care about that...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that league rule about being expelled after 5 years of being out of the town is right that wouldn't matter anymore though. Any buyer would be the one calling the shots rather than Corney, surely?

Yeah but koukash might not be a Vaughan type of character. Yes we can be cautious but maybe we should be a bit optimistic as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
