We'll out of the top 4 currently in our division, 3 do. Haven't had time to check further but think it further clarrifies my point

 

Over to you for a reply @Park bantam

 

On the basis that Salford FC is a purely a group company, I'd suggest that Project 92, the holding company is where you should be looking.

 

Well someone needed to fill a large hole & that was from when they were in what is Guiseley's league now.
Mind boggling

 

Wow just wow. Yes National League North!! Mind boggling indeed.

 

It wouldn't make any sense to me mate that's why I posted wiki's 5 ownership, keep it simple, but if you do look it would be interesting to see the break down .

 

To be fair WB, R and R backed GB all the way. Sadly, he went down the Peter Taylor route of quantity rather than quality. We now have players who are unable to get basics right.

 

My issue and it has been for a while, And I was taken to task by this previously.
When we say we want 'investment ' , what we actually want is our own Dean Hoyle, someone to spunk a load of money at us.
Football isn't self servicing.
Anyone taking us over, I would suggest would need potentially 10's of millions not just the odd few.

 

Who though could buy out Rupp and have us more successful, it's fantasy football. All an owner can do is provide a decent budget and leave it to the manager/ coach to provide a decent team. Rupp did this in the summer and Bowyer got it wrong with his quantity not quality policy. There is no evidence that Rupp is going to slash the budget for next season and its up to McCall to use the budget wisely.
If there was a takeover all it would be is a local consortium with worries over a deficit and relying on cup runs, we would be no better off.

 

Don't worry Jnr want's 20k next year for a big push

 

It took Lawn/Rhodes a number of years before deciding the Germans were the right people to sell to, so I wouldn’t be expecting anything quickly

 

When you say budget for next season. Do you mean playing budget or overall.
Eitherway the pitch is fcuked.
They've already admitted they'd nicked the money allocated for remedial work on the pitch back into the playing fund.
So if they are wanting to ensure the pitch is of preferred standard, then money need to be allocated. I'll take a stab now and say it's now more than what was originally allocated previously.
So the playing budget goes down with money that was originallly allocated to the pitch plus overs I would guess.

 

Correct and that is how most owners fund. Allocate more share's by nature of imputting (not investing) more money

 

The land the stadiums stand on.

 

Next season we need a budget for:

More or less a full squad of players.
Serious remedial work to Valley Parade fixtures & fittings.
Another new pitch
Scouting network.
Repair work to the training pitches



So over you Herr Rupp, time to step up or step down.

 

You don't know that the playing budget will be cut though. We also don't know if it will be improved with a local takeover. Rupp does have funds that someone like Rhodes and Lawn can only dream about. Wether he's prepared to invest in the club is unknown.

 

Cheers for that. I knew they had pumped some more cash in not aware of the technicalities!!

 

Good luck with that.
Although as I understand we're on a self repairing lease at Valley Parade ie we're resposible for the pitch, plus fixture and fittings etc.
That is not the case for Apperley Bridge. It is therefore not our responsibity. That said you'll then have to source alternative traning facilities which the club have gone down in numerous occasions without success

 

You do, if you want the pitch repairing to standard. or for fit for purpose
As I mentioned, they've already accepted the money originally allocated for the pitch was taken into the playing budget on the gamble that we would be in this khazi league for one season only.
So if you fix the pitch it will reduce next seasons playing budget.
If all is as if ?
QED

 

Well it’s a lot of crap isn’t it. We were put into the second admin because it was totally unworkable. And where was @BingleyBantam when the extra cash Lawn added we had four great years with promotions and twice within touching distance of the championship not to mention cup finals and other cup runs.
Rhodes is now running the club the way he is at the behest of Rupp. We have had a good budget this year but we were coming from last years very low base..
We all would like new owners who will put the money in but until Rupp sells we are where we are.
