Salford City, The State of Football & Financial Fair Play

Hardly Harry Kane is he.

 

Hmmmm... Would have been quite happy to see them spend another season in the conference.

 

'appn because Kane isn't a central midfielder?

 

Takes crap corners though

 

Park has backed our garbage players all season and then decides he's not so bothered that a regular championship player has gone to one of our rivals!

Richie Towell is light years ahead of anything we have, or are likely to have in central midfield and whilst your opinion is not surprising to any regular member it's still another one to add to the growing list of ridiculous posts.

 

That's a decent signing for a league 2 outfit, looks like Salford showing their intentions early. I expect they'll announce a few more signings like that over the next few weeks.

 

Come on Park, you have to admit thats a good signing for a new league 2 side.

 

To be fair, Park's sentiment probably relates to the matter of fact statement that 'everyone else is playing for second' based on a good signing.

Salford didn't even win the title in non-league, they'll need a few very good signings to cement first place.

 

I guess whether the Towell signing (or any more like it) turn out to be decent or not will depend on whether the player/s have signed because they really want to play for Salford or just because they are picking up a large pay packet. We all know how the latter can turn out.

 

And unfortunately they have the financial clout to get them .

 

Yep, not always that easy though.

I'd definitely expect them top seven, but to declare them champions is hyperbole based on potential and not much else. It's still just one good signing.

 

You’d be spunking your pants if he had come here.

 

One signing does not determine a season but imagine as @WilsdenBantam has just alluded to, that we had jusy made that signing. Parks reaction would have been somewhat different.

 

No doubt.

It's a belter, but League Two is certainly going to provide it's own tests that the Championship won't...

 

Accrington have proved what can be done with a small budget in this division but i feel Salfords aim now is a division higher and they aren't planning on being in this division long. Good luck to them, theres certainly no reason why they can't do it in this division, theres very little team wise to be worried about.

 

Is Towell any more exciting than learning we had signed Scannell and Payne and Butterfield for half a season. He has gone for money his ambition is nil

 

This will be Graham Alexanders second season at Salford he'll have a very good Idea of where he needs to strengthen and he knows these lower leagues very well from his past experiences, he has backing from his owners I'd be very surprised if Salford are not in at least play off spot come the end of the season.

 

No ambition? Good manager, well funded, ambitious club with a clearly defined plan for the future.

 

From playing in the Championship to league 2
