I am sick of all this now to be honest, as if Christmas period wasn't bad enough. the silence is turning there own fans against them.

Think we need to refrain from jumping off the cliff just yet, we've a few weeks yet before we need to consider that.

Is the visa fiasco making recruitment tricky? We haven't even managed to officially bring in the coach who was appointed. I'm surprised he hasn't buggered off back by now

Don't worry. Visa should be sorted out this week.

2nd tweet is key bit imo. Its in rfl operational rules that we have to officially inform any players out of contract, who theres a chance we might not offer a contract to, in writing by 1st of may. Until we know which league we're in next year and whether were going to be full time or part time then we aren't in a position to offer contracts for next year. Don't we had any choice but to issue the letter to comply with the rules.

Well if that's true then it instantly blows clean out of the water the mad-sounding conspiracy theories that really, we don't have to bother this year, cos there's some secret deal between owners, RFL and Lord Lucan whereby we'll be safe.

You forgot Shergar and the man on the grassy knoll

Talking of race horses... didn't anyone else see Marwan's tweet?

'When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has opened for us?'

Time for the tin foil hat....combined with his rants about poor attendance it does make you wonder if he's thinking about pulling the relocation card?

Relocating to Manchester wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing for them. They've done all they can in Salford and still no bugger turns up, so I wouldn't blame them for abandoning that "city" in search of a new audience. Whether it will work or not is up for debate, but I could see the reasoning.

If the idea was to move to another city entirely (which has a club), like moving them to become the "Bradford Red Devils" and replacing the existing club in that city, it wouldn't work. I'm a Bradford Bulls fan and another club moving to the city isn't the same. You'd just lose the Salford fans who wouldn't travel, and you wouldn't gain new fans as that city already has a team that fans are loyal to, even if that team was to disappear. I use that as an example, not to suggest that is the actual plan. Relocation can only work if it's to a city that doesn't already have a team.

I think they would probably be bright enough to work that out,
They would probably just move to Bradford and become Bradford Bulls,
all they would be after is the fan base, and maybe develop Odsal...

If we had Salfords squad in Superleague turning out their performances 10k+ crowds would be easily achievable.

It is not very nice on the loyal Salford fans at all but Koukash is a business man and I don't think you could make the figures stack up with 2k crowds?

A rebrand as Manchester red devils would be another big gamble and would he be willing to gamble more cash on a Football city with two of the Biggest clubs in the UK / World?

Again though the sceptic in me tells me that there is no Cavalry arriving or millionaire backer and we are doomed to where we are for the foreseeable.

Million percent bang on the money is that. I find it ludicrous it has even been spoke about, look at the messes of gateshead/hull sheff/hudds we arent franchised american sports teams. Once again for me shows a lack of thought of the fans of the clubs who think of moving, them fans will be completely lost to the game
