Can't see that we have a realistic chance of the eight as even if everything was sorted tomorrow it's doubtful all the planned signings could be brought in before the Wigan game let aloe be a team rather than strangers playing rugby together.

There was no way we should've gone down that year.. We dropped points against Widnes & Wakey, then after a miraculous win against Wire away , we bombed our chances against Cas , whilst Warrington ( who were then safe ) rolled over for Wakey to give them an easy 50 pointer , so technically he was right .


Feka, said we'd definately make the top 8 , anyone who quotes that now sends a shiver down my spine that we've tempted the gods of RL to on us from a great height .
I just want us to make round 2 without suffering alopecia..

Just read a quote from Nigel Wood that said the time scale was this week and that is still possible.

Seems Ming the merciless is quite adapt at liquidating and disolving companies, a simple check at director check freely gives this information.

He is in good ' company ' , few if any successful businessmen/Entrepreneurs have not got several liquidations to their name

Speaking on BBC Radio Leeds WYS show, he was asked where they were with the Salford situation .
" Nigel Wood- We are not over the line yet , we are doing our best to get there and hopefully we can ground the ball in the next 24hrs".

earlier he responded to the record of crisis in club finances last few seasons - Crusaders- Wakefield - Bradford & now Salford

"The situation at Salford is a different than that of Bradford , they moved into a new stadium , and it was not helped by 10 nearly 20 years of under investment & under acheivement, we've worked with them very closely over the last month and hopefully there will be a happy outcome "

Oddball said "Positive waves Moriarty ... Always with the negative waves" ( not paul Wood .)

Did it say who was holding it up and by the sounds of things from what your saying this now does not look very good and I can't see this happening to be honest. Salford city council and peel seem to be sticking there heels in. Sorry you can see this ain't going to happen

Eccles........go away you are a fool !!

I have no horses in this race (pardon the pun) but I often stalk this board as I live in Manchester and go to watch Salford every now and then with a pal of mine.

When you thought Salford were going to slide into oblivion you were clearly loving it but trying to come across like you were concerned. Now things are looking up, unquestionably so compared to what they were looking like 10 days ago, you're trying to raise doubts about Koukash and/or his takeover.

You're a big meanie.

That was different, that was a Folly Lane outing and I was forced into it

You wouldn't see me dead in fancy dress or the sort at a Rugby League/football game.

How does quote one lead to the conclusion in quote two?

Because he's a dribbling simpleton?

You get the feeling that some people actually want the club to lurch from crises to crises.

Eccles Star is without doubt the most miserable forum user ever. He'd make Morrisey slit his wrists. Ian 77 put it perfectly. Thank goodness you can only understand 50% of his posts because if you understood the other half we'd all be swinging from the rafters by now. He's a misanthrope of the most miserable and boring kind.

So it looks all set to happen next week [url=http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/marwan-koukash-close-to-set-to-seal-1239058Story here[/url Let us pray

Sounds promising. Looks like Dr K wants all the red tape out of the way and some new signings in place to make the press conference be the real start of his era. Looking good and very interesting to see what next week brings.

Latest tweet from Martin Sadler

I'm hearing that Dr Koukash has got everything he wants in the Salford negotiations. Press conf on Tues or Wed next week - new players too.

I wonder if the Dr's wants list included banning Ecclesstar from posting drivel?

lets hope one of his wishes is to remove the seats from the east stand so we can all go in there instead of behind the sticks!

When I left Pendleton Church just before Christmas I would happily have taken watching thirteen of our youngsters playing in the red shirt at Moor Lane or some other local venue. Now I start to feel we may be really on the up!

If things turn out as it seems they might and the good Doctor has bought the Stadium, new quality players start to arrive, the administrative systems get re-vamped and good youngsters are attracted to the club as the new dynasty is founded, I really will think all my Birthdays and Christmases have come at once. Let it be!

Press conference next Tuesday/Wednesday, with new players being announced

Great,Super

Hope the everyone gells as a team quickly

But if it takes a bit of time, hey we are saved and still alive

Go along with standing in the east stand, get the atmosphere back

Everybody is entitled to there own opinions me included I am only stating the way I feel about the situation. The way supporters get treated by this so called excellent club that thinks very highly of its supporters. I have my reasons for being negative about this club and if mentioned it on here you would be disgusted and don't want to go into it. And I don't trust this club any more and this is why I have negative and it's a very personal thing to me that happen to a member of my family. And someone tell me what positive things it as done to care for supporters my dad worked for the club I worked for club and would never work or volunteer to help them out again due to this my dad worked for over 30 years service but it is to upsetting to disguise what happen after my dad passed away and still hurts today so till you understand why people are airing negative views find out the reason why

That is fair enough, but why that should put the current deal in doubt???

I'm not a Salford fan, I occasionally come on here if we have a match or if there is a big news item such as this to see what's going on. What I don't get is if you have issues or greivences like you say, then why have any interest at all in this club. In the end the club is the management and if you feel that the management have treated you or someone you know shabbily then this change of management is either a positive as the old guard are removed, or makes no difference as the feelings run too deep.

One thing that the good DR. cannot be accused of is being a Salford old boy and part of an ongoing conspiracy. He is very much an outsiders with no prior links to the Salford Club as far as I've seen or heard.

If that's your feelings pal, then that's fine. But you will understand that given your agenda, people will often not take notice of your opinion. You wish to see the club fail because of how you and your family have been treated. We're not here to judge the rights and wrong of your situation, people on here just love the club and want the best. You don't, so you'll always be annoyed about individuals wanting the club to prosper.

Eccles - I dont know what happened to you or your father BUT isnt it time IF the deal is concluded that you draw a line and start with a clean sheet like the Dr is doing.

Now - Re this quote in the MEN `replacing David Tarry who was sacked ` - Is that correct? I thought he was made Redundant. Apologies if wrong.

EB it was Neil Barker's report wasn't it?

He recycles stuff more than any local council does.

I know a well connected member of their supporters' trust. Whilst I'm not exactly an expert, I've got a pretty good idea of how well they're coping. They need a huge change in fortunes to be able to continue to survive at the stadium.

At least you used the word "are" in the right grammatical context in that sentence, mind.
