Same here Salford have pretty much won the lottery of football ownership really. 

 

Wish we had people who were prepared to throw money st us over a long period of time winning multiple promotions. Doesn't look like they are going to pull out anytime soon either. Plus they are football people who clearly know what they are doing.

I know what you mean. I'll come across as bitter and twisted or stuffed with sour grapes, but why the 92 mob picked on nobodies Salford instead of a team with plenty of history and a few golden years is baffling - but then maybe I'm biased

Thing is if we had a club I believed in more then I could summon up the enthusiasm to detest them. Their is enough reason too, I mean their followers are just bored Man United fans. I don't hate Richie Wellens it wasn't his fault we got relegated from L1. Trouble is it's just another example of a club that has sailed past us.

Yeah, and it's not like Lim is throwing a fortune at Valencia. I hope it all ends in tears.

Salford City are just like Gretna were in Scotland a few years back, progression built on sand and totally unsustainable. Once United start doing well again their 'fan base' will probably disappear and the owners will hopefully lose interest too. In the meantime, we've got to prepare for the fact that they'll probably turn us over yet again. Maybe the Football League should make them kick off each week at 4pm on a Sunday, that would sort them out

They might decide to not continue to invest in Salford but be assured their wealth is such that with even half decent management it  will last for ever

It absolutely is sustainable ....United are 2nd in Premier league ....they seem , unfortunately, to be doing well . I can’t see many Salford fans moving back when United move from second to first !!!!!!!.......also the 4.00 kick off is the Fc United issue

 

apart from all that a thoughtful post

I agree and I I never understood why P and G Neville, given their childhood and their Dads involvement didn’t target Bury FC

Fair enough, I bow to your knowledge of the various Manchester United tribute acts . I still think though that if United have a sustained period of success again these sideshows will suffer support wise in the long run. I reckon their support will lose interest in the lower divisions if European and domestic glory is on offer as the main event.

Be surprised if United win anything before City, think the defeat to Spurs was more a true reflection of where they really are.

And losing at home to Sheffield United, like us it's their home form that lets them down. That was seriously funny when they lost to them the other night though

Proper dont understand why people are so baffled why they picked Salford seeing as theyve explained it at least four times that lve heard, so probably about 96 million in total and its not like l go out of my way to listen to GNev.

Be challenging conditions today to add to it today.

Looks like the standard 5 changes or so again from Kewell. Not sure how I feel about Lawlor being back in, Bilboe has looked pretty good in the last couple of games. Hopefully Lawlor has spent his time away learning how to catch a ball instead of punching it at every given opportunity.

Thank god Garrity isn’t in the squad. Keep it that way 

[Dave_Og 3,652]

So Da Silva wins the prize this week as token obligatory home grown player

Disagree. His handling is even worse than Lawlor for me. Literally cannot catch.

No Piergianni fan, and for me he’s a none league defender, but still strange that the captain seems out of favour all of a sudden. Is he the fall guy for our crap defence? Or the cynic in me thinking he gets a new deal with 1 more start? 

[Guy Branston Pickle 111]

Where's Barnes? Thought he looked quite handy against Newport, would be a good option to have going up against tired defenders. They seem to bring players in and then they disappear for game at a time

 

Also, still not happy about this system at home. Especially with Grant as the lone striker

He’s rubbish, that’s what. 
Finally got a manger who actually drops our shit players.
