What is going on there?
They are apparently signing players on very good contracts with small attendance's.
Surely this is a problem in the making.

It’s going to end in tears, the sooner the better as well.

Hope they realise now there in the football league they have to abide to FFP
-
Trying to buy there way up the leagues can see it working to be fair expecting minimum of the playoffs for them this season

Yeah so gifts are ok.

Could they not just set up a shell company and set up a sponsorship deal with the club? then it would count as income rather than investment, no?

this is what they have done all the way to the league , as long as they have the money to pay the wages , its there money to spend

They had an over 50% attendance increase last season, I think they could easily get another 1k next season, more if they do well, which would make them around average for League 2. Plenty of local Man U fans could see them as their second team now they're in the League. Will be interesting to see how it goes.

Good luck to them, if they have ambition and money contacts then they are very fortunate....
FFP is a load of codswallop that many clubs can get round .....and do!

They could always ground share at Old Trafford!

The owner is worth billions. Don’t think signing players on 5k a week will bother him.

Think they paid Adam Rooney 4k a week last year when he signed from Aberdeen as they said they could not match the wages Salford offered

They’ve attracted a lot of new fans in protest at how a protest club is run, which was set up in protest about a certain takeover 15 years or so ago.
Yet now the 100 or less Salford regulars of a decade ago may want to stage a protest in protest at the influx of new protestors.
What you saying Rigo,Salford city have attracted alot of protesters of F.C. united?

Fair play to them they have owners who want to see them do well and can afford to

I don't think whether they can afford it,is the problem,as we are finding out more and more with the flawed fit and proper owners test or whatever the correct name for it is.What legacy they leave if they get bored or don't want to keep pumping there fortune into something thats not paying back is the worry.And many of them do,even though they can afford to keep funding them.

There is always a chance of that no matter if they pass the test or not thou mate, to be fair with the ex Man U players there you would hope that would not happen

However, the pattern tends to be one of the owner(s) believing that their actions are justified and that it's not their integrity that should be under the microscope. When they're bored and want to leave, they'll find an excuse.
