What point are you trying to make chief? That, contrary to urban myth, you've actually won a SL game?

| Quote ="Bulls Boy 2011"I don’t get replies like this. Mo was on about a team with financial struggles who might not survive. What the hell has reaching a GF or a CC final got to do with that? You know you can reach a final and still go bust? You can even win a few and be world champions and still go bust
I hope the debt free is true. Awful seeing any team in debt. And I hope you do survive, if the rumours are true though (and hopefully they aren’t) it might not happen. I’d say the only reason you’ve done well the past two years is Watsons ability to get the best out of average players and has a knack of picking up some decent/very good signings. Can Marshall do the same? I doubt it. Hope you prove people wrong though!'"
What rumours exactly? Something Karen on Facebook said or was it someone on the VT? Like I've previously said, everyone knows that we're not flush with cash and, on occasion, players have moved on to help balance the books. This isn't uncommon in sport and certainly not RL. As I'm part of the Salford Supporters Trust, I've attended many a fans meeting attended by our Director Paul King and CEO Ian Blease and they've always been open and honest about our situation and it's common knowledge that we're looking for new investment to help us compete at full cap. So I'm more than happy to believe a couple of.guys who pretty much run the club over the usual "if the rumours are true* type of gibberish spouted on internet forums by someone who's got no credible source.
Unless you want to provide me with one of course....

The idea of Fev "suddenly becoming a real contender" is ridiculous when along with Leigh they have been clearly the standout team in the Championship over the last ten years.
On the field, Fev probably have the strongest case amongst the six teams, having beaten Leigh, York and Toulouse to reach the playoff Grand Final against Toronto last year. They've beaten Leigh four of the last five times they've played them, and hammered York three of the four times they played them last year.
Off the field Fev are now run on similar lines to a SL club, with a Chairman, CEO, Football Manager and Finance Manager. Sponsorship is thriving, as are sales from the new Super Store, and the club was able to report an operational surplus of over £40,000 for the year ending December 2019. For as long as Mark Campbell has been in charge his whole purpose has been to get Fev into SL so talking of Fev's ambitions in that regard having "collapsed" is baffling.'"
I think Fevs ambitions ceased at the Halliwell Jones that was outside not inside

Fev should have been "promoted" just as soon as SL decided that it wanted / needed 12 clubs for next season.
The current situation is ugly and will get much uglier, especially when clubs find out who has been given the "golden ticket".
With very little on field action last season in The Championship, the SL place should have automatically gone to Rovers.

A shocking and awful incident but over ten years ago. The only rugby league ground where I have ever been attacked was at Leigh, are you happy for me to rule them out too?

Warrington, Leeds and Hull KR would be out too, in fact, most teams in SL at some point!

A tragic incident indeed, but just as bad was that no one came forward to assist the enquiry.
Ten years ago, but the charge sheet has many entries over the intervening period,more than anyone else for sure and probably with the same persons involved.
One road in one road out that hole is not fit for SL status

Not really a golden ticket! It’s not a level playing field. So who has the money to waste? Who has the balls to spend?

BTW, we're all $hitting ourselves at the thought of Leigh back in SL.... I mean last time you were up here I recall a few of your fans predicting a top 4-6 finish.
I fear for the future of my great club if the mighty Leythers take their rightful place back where they belong!

Don't get yer knickers in a twist pal, you coach has left to a poorer side and that alone should send the alarm bells ringing.
Read what I state again and Salford should be just fine but they won't be cracking any pots buddy. Ian Watson has done a wonderful Job. Richard Marshall is a good coach but as YOU have stated, books will need balancing.
Good luck next season

Erm you quite clearly stated Salford should be worried about Leigh purely based on the fact our coach has left with sod all else to back it up. You said nothing about us being fine (read your own post again "buddy" ).
And I've had a look at Leigh's current squad. No offence to Leythers but it's packed full of SL cast-offs who in most cases are Championship standard. I see nothing in that squad to think they'll finish anywhere near Salford next season if fast-tracked into SL. I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that either.

Coached well,they’ll do well. Same as Salford. Leigh have nothing to prove... Leigh also don’t carry any financial issues. How Salford are surviving without income beggars belief.

| Newcastle Thunder can confirm an application to join the Betfred Championship for the 2021 season has been submitted #ThunderFamily #RugbyLeague
The presentation seems to be a lot about what the club has actually achieved as opposed to what they are going to do.
I'd be delighted to see them just go straight to SL. stick London in SL and we could really say the professional game is played nationally from both East to west and North to south. Real expansion

we still haven't heard anything about toronto club whether they intend to play in the championship, maybe they can get that american league up and running toronto, ottawa and new york

I wonder if this is the reason we haven't heard anything from the Bulls apart from we have submitted a bid, every other club has these fancy videos.

The 3 racist incidents in 2019 won't have helped with Fev's bid.

Your not teasing me are you The North American clubs are just looking for some $Billionaires with a little more staying power to set this up. Why is it people can dream all this, but I can't dream of Newcastle straight to Superleague?
In terms of the Toulouse bid I have just counted their imports in the current squad. They only have five French players in the first choice matchday 17.....Much like Les Catalans. If we had two French clubs in Superleague, with few if any Frenchmen in them would that work for you?

It's still a "free" entry into the top flight, something which usually has to be earned on the field of play and even though there should be full funding, in line with the other 11 clubs, the circa £1,000,000 is still significantly more than any Championship club will receive.
All SL clubs should receive the same funding, although this is RL and what's "right" doesn't seem to matter.
