and why can't he do both?

and im not sure how much of a selling point it is to prospective new owners that we have made it even more difficult to catch up.

He can, he's spending the same if not slightly more than Wigan, Leeds, Saints etc. He has said many times he's spending full cap.
Shame his coach has spent it on the wrong players

Big call after 3 games?

Any links to where he has said Salford are spending full cap? Am pretty sure I recall him saying on twitter when the season started that we still had a small space on the cap.

Leeds, Wigan, and Saints cap is higher than the Salford cap. Leeds Wigan and saints are also building from a position of strength and not playing catch up.,

The best 3 players on the pitch (Amor, Walmsley and Walsh) were all signed by Saints in the Koukash era. All 3 are undoubtedly on less than their equivalents in the Salford team (Morley, Chase and Hock) and could have been signed by Salford, rather than going for the "marquee" approach they have taken.

Life is tough.

Success didnt come quickly to Warrington, it took about 10 years before they really were successful.

Wigan, Saints and Leeds have put decades of work into their success, should this be discounted because someone wants to buy , short term success?

And they played in a team with Roby, Soliola, Lomax, Laffranchi, LMS, Hohaia, Wilkin and Manu.

You sure about that? I could have sworn that Walmsley joined Saints after the 2012 season.

all success is short term.

And no, im not discounting the work Leeds, Saints, and Wigan have done. Im just saying we dont need to entrench it.

Life is tough, so why are we making it easier for some clubs by entrenching their advantage?

Oh that old chestnut, they're only good because of the good players around them.
Amor was class at Wakey, thats why most of the top teams were in for him and we paid our first transfer fee in years.
