Not the same thing Scarlett.
We aren’t being gifted funds to keep the club afloat and then days later signing additional players. Bit of a smack in the mouth. I wouldn’t be happy if trinity did that.

The money granted to us was specifically tied to community projects, which the club have to report on directly to WMDC.
The money given (on top of the money already loaned and written off), to SRD is for ongoing, day to day, operational costs - costs which they should/could pay for themselves if the weren't spaffing it on players they cannot otherwise afford. |

I don't have a problem and don't really know why we would care.
They've agreed a deal with their council and it helps them.
But it doesn't affect us.

Doesn't it?
As an example, in way does their inflated league position not affect us? |

Why is it inflated?
They haven't cheated to stay in SL and from now on they are assessed by IMG same as us. |

Because if you take £300k of salary out of their team, they wouldn't be finishing anywhere near as high as they do.
They'd be wooden spoon candidates.

But they didn't do anything wrong to get that money. They agreed terms with the council, just like we did.
So they don't need to take £300k out.
It's bad business and will bite them one day, but it isn't against any SL rules. |

Who mentioned rules?
It's distasteful and immoral.
Using council funding to operate isn't the best look.
Using those funds to then pay big-name players whilst defaulting on a huge portion of your rent is even worse. |

So I go back to my point that it doesn't affect us.
It's their choice.
If its not against the rules it isn't causing us a problem |

How is them getting a better IMG score than they should for performance not affecting us, or the wider game?
However, I'm certainly not attacking the SRD position from the viewpoint of a Wakefield supporter - I think it's a completely ridiculous situation for the game.
We disagree about it's importance, I guess.

What we disagree on is whether they get those points unfairly.
Morally I wouldn't be too happy especially if I lived in Salford
But from what I see, it's just a deal they got away with.
I don't think anyone would complain if our council wrote off our loan. |

The Wakefield Express had us on the front page when Mat took over, telling the Wakefield Council to make us pay back a loan that we were paying back all ready .Do not how Salford get away with it

The annual Salford need a cash boost article. They really are flying by the seat of their pants now. I listened to Paul King interview recently and they are hanging everything on been able to sweat the asset that is the AJ Bell, but I don't think that will offset these kind of short falls.
I'm presuming the council cash pot has dried up now that they're buying the stadium.

Only players we could consider due to no quota spot that could do a job are Brierly, Hankinson and Shorrocks. Not sure where Brierly would fit in but sort of a Ryan Hampshire but better, however seems to like playing for Paul Rowley.

Spot on Khlav. The likes of Brierly, Ryan, Hankinson, Cross wouldn't add a great deal for us at this stage. McDonald certainly would, but we'd have to move Bain or Lino on.

I agree.
I don't really think we need anyone right now
Of course their centres are pretty good and I like Watkins, Sneyd and Brierley but those roles are covered.
I'd take a young prop if he was Yorkshire based.
