Brussels Bureaucrat":k0729fv5 said:It really annoys me that they've taken over Salford. There are so many small, financially struggling clubs in that area - why couldn't they have invested in a club with a bit of heritage and tradition instead of jumping into an already crowded field?
And it seems as though they're not doing anything particularly innovative, just blowing everybody else out of the water with their financial muscle. A bit like Billericay Town in the Conference South.
It should be remembered that there have been plenty of non-league teams with no fans and lots of money who have crashed and burned (Rushden & Diamonds anyone?). Wouldn't be remotely surprising if Salford go the same way sooner or later.
