Copulate off Salford

[Plumbob]

Thank fuck we are up.
A very dark day for football. Notts County are replaced by Gary Nevilles Subbuteo set.

 

[shoddycollins]

Fingers crossed they crash and burn badly. Something doesn't quite go right in the summer resulting in them not being able to splash their cash, they get relegated and disappear without a trace.

 

[Boz]

Can't you change that thread title to fuck off Salford, Plumbob?

You might be seeing them the following season if they buy their way out of L2....

 

[Hooped Wizard]

My instinct is they’ll get to league one and then struggle to go any further, like Fleetwood. I bloody hope so anyway,

 

[Buxton Vale]

no welcome from me

No idea, but I'm happy for a mod to do it!
Seems I can!
Please L2 send them back whence they came.

 

[Buxton Vale]

thats better

Fleetwood had the Vardy money to spend. Salford have a bottomless pit. Expect another documentary, blanket fawning coverage on Sky, deluded fans who don’t even know why they’re called ‘The Ammies’, plenty of bovver at the ground with the home fans and a couple of £500,000 bids for your best players. They will only fuck off in one direction and it ain’t the one in which they belong.

 

[Trapdoor]

Sky can fuck off and all.

 

[shoddycollins]

Points to be given for how close Salford's side in L2 looks to this

Though this is also a distinct possibility

 

[AdamStag]

Another reason to get promotion

Victors of the famous 'behind closed doors' playoff final of 2019.

The playoff final wasn’t the biggest attendance in the National League this season. The fucking playoff final. At Wembley. Incredible.

When they offer 5 million for Marquis I’ll riot

 

[PuB]

Can just hear the BBC calling them ‘plucky’ and Sky saying how all their players play for the love of the game and half a mars bar each.

Another penis extension of a club.

Ugh.

 

[darren gregory]

Absolute no doubt that these are the media darlings.
Sky and BBC will be all over them like a rash in August.
Anticipate that the League Cup Tie depending on the draw will be the first of many visits by the Sky Cameras.

You can argue from my perspective (Port Vale ) do i hope we have money to spend from our new owners. Of course i do but this doesn't sit well with me at all and is completely different.
4 promotions in 5 seasons the last 2 bought with the nauseating class of 92 i keep seeing bandied about.

I'm all for progress but to me this stinks to high heaven. When Adam Rooney is prepared to give up playing twice at Parkead and Ibrox in front of 50'000 to 60'000 people to ponce about at Braintree in front of 800 fans sums up the sad state of affairs.

Sad day for football compounded by the likes of Notts County, Chesterfield, Stockport, Wrexham all far far better clubs.

What confirmed for me the dislike for this mob was seeing i think Jobi McAnuff jumping up and down on the Orient pitch chanting Fook off Salford on the final day.

Hate them already

It was Macaulay Bonne you massive racialist.

 

[GFC4EVA]

Fucking glad we stayed up in league one, hopefully they will lose every game next season

Hence the disclaimer of ' i think '

I get it won't be popular but I have no issue with Salford being promoted, most clubs seem to be running at a loss, being supported by an owner who is rich enough (or not in some cases) to sustain those losses. They've just got richer owners than most. Of course it's frustrating for those that are attempting to run a sustainable football club but these clubs seem to be few and far between.

As for this crying over losing Notts County and gaining Salford, who gives a shit? Notts probably had one of the biggest budgets at this level and they fucked it up, that isn't Salford's fault.

In the grand scheme of things all the clubs at this level are small time and lack an appeal to the wider football audience, the Salford story will hold more of an appeal to the masses so Sky will get behind it. It's not a fairy tale, far from it but there's an interesting narrative there.

what a load of drivel

 

[Captain]

what a load of drivel

Why?

Everyone is happy enough to hammer Salford for overspending but turn a blind eye to their own. It's ok that you're over spending because historically you've been established in the Football League? Or is it because you have more fans than them?

 

[Buxton Vale]

we arent overspending though

Not crying over losing Notts County, they went down on merit.
But, them being replaced by either Salford or Fylde is shit. 2 teams that couldnt muster a 5-figure crowd between them for the biggest games in boths history.
You or I take a subscription to sky and/or bt for our football fix. Gary and the gang pick up another rich fella and get a plaything.

 

[gary]

Not a great day when you see clubs like salford bank rolled into the football league.They may well get to league 1 but no further.

I don't know the ins and outs of your finances. But generally speaking most clubs are running beyond their means and are making losses. If Vale are one of the few to be running sustainably then fair play (and I referenced these clubs in my initial post).

I just searched "Port Vale finances" on google, top link says the last set of accounts showed that your owner was owed 2.8m from the club. As I said, I have no idea how Vale are run but it'd appear at some point in the past he's needed to balance the books with his own money but I could obviously be wrong about that.

I'd be a hypocrite to try and belittle a football club because of their attendances, we barely muster 3 digit figures for most away days!

he put in "directors loans" which we didnt need, and cant tell where they went, however when the sale went through last week we had no debt. We have no idea where the £2.5m in transfers over the last 2 seasons went though.
