Quote ="frank5613"When the question of debts are brought up it seems strange that when a fan of the club in question answers the comment , it's always the fault of the last regime, but the truth is that the debts were the clubs, Salford City Reds, even though you have new owners, the club is still playing under the name of Salford City reds, the same as Bradford Bulls & Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.
It's an easy get out, rack up massive debt & go under, hoping some one will come along & put money into the New debt free club, Mr Glover says he is paying some of the old debt off, & your good Dr, seems to have agreed to pay them back over a large number of years, I suppose the people who are owed the debt are very happy to be receiving a few pound a month.
The Bulls debacle is the worst, suspiciously selling the ground to the RFL, for god knows how much, just before going under, but no one knows where that money went, & for the rest of it's assets, not allowed to be sold to pay the debt, so the team didn't suffer by getting broken up was a disgrace, all efforts should have been made to pay there debts.
I know it's hard on the fans when there club is going through problems, just like my club are doing, the difference is were paying our debt, & not walking away, if we go under you can give us the some flack.
When you read the fans from Salford coming on & saying were buying him, & him & him, & money is no object, just spare a thought for those people who have lost out financially because the Salford City Reds were so badly run, lets hope the three NEW clubs are better run in the years a head.'"
My god! I actually agree with a Cas fan! Absolutely Bob on mate, I and I think all the Salford fans were disgusted when we heard the council were going to bail us out! But thanks god the Dr did, I agree the debts that are already in place are being paid back and granted too slow for the Salford tax payer to notice the difference. However we never got in the same situation as Wakey and the Bulls and i thank god. I have to admit it warmed my heart to see how much the RL community rounded and helped these clubs! If we put all this aside and realise what teh Dr did by saving us did and how it can help our league, yeah we may get Chase from you but look at it another way thats 300K+ transfer fee u guys get to get your ship in order and spend on promoting your great club! A player is a player but the club is more important. i wish the Wire had given us 300K+ for Stef!! We need to all stick together in these times when RL is strugglign and help each other!!
Good luck for the rest of the season and hope u make the top 8
Salford fan in peace, apologies for any previosu posts!
