They have thrown plenty of dosh at it but you still have to do it.
I think they will be a force next season in League 2. |  |

Amazed that a non league club even with their financial backing didn't miss a quarter of a million pound sooner than they did. |  | | |

Had Wrexham got promoted this year, they would have had claim to be the oldest league club because of Notts County's relegation and Stoke City's lies.
Wrexham were formed in 1864 although their longevity becomes questionable as they disbanded in the 1880s and returned as a new club, Wrexham Olympic. |  |

The trouble is with Salford’s vicinity to Old Trafford the vast majority of Salfordian football fans will see United as their local club. |
Your right that most people in Salford are United fans but the vast majority cant afford the cost of going to a game.
If Salford price it right and provide cask beer and decent food at reasonable prices like they do currently,then they will attract quite a few fans i reckon.
I have seen this model at a few non league grounds this season and i think its something that Dale could adopt to make the match day experience far better than it is now. | |

You’re right there. Catering at a lot of non league grounds , Salford being a prime example, is far better than what I’ve experienced in leagues 1 and 2.
Salford have a cracking selection of food and drink on offer. Makes for a good day out. Certainly better than Luke warm pies and ropey beer up at Spotland. |  | | |

Well at least it`s a Northern success story,what`s wrong with a few ex United players putting some their money back into the game? Makes a change from foreign billionaires who know nowt about the game,coming in with crackpot ideas and expecting instant glory. So I say good on the Class of `92,investing a few bob into the city of Salford. | | | |

The last thing Greater Manchester needs is another League Club. There’s already too many.
I hate Salford. Just like a non league Man City.
Will be interesting to see the squad they start with. They certainly can’t afford the one they’ve got under FFP. | | | |

I see that AFC Fyldes old accountant got 32 months for stealing just short of £250,00 from them ..Chorley were another club several years ago that suffered a similar experience..i hope Salford aren't leaving it to "posh Beckham " to check the books!!! | | | |

Resentment from me partly dates back to when we was perennial strugglers. For many years we would have bee likely victims to automatic promotion/relegation, so I guess there is a feeling of entitlement and would always wish for York, Stockport, Wrexham, Hartlepool, Darlington et al to regain their league status.
Ive got no ill feeling towards clubs such Morecambe who have shown ambition, and relatively speaking, lived within their means. Its clubs such as Forest Green, Salford and Fleetwood, who have thrown money at it that I resent. Long term is their spending sustainable? As an example, if an Ollie Rathbone was released by Man U this summer, and Salford rivalled us for his signature. They would probably offer him 2 or 3 times the wages we could, if they really wanted him. Its clubs like Salford that are not only a challenge to the status quo, but to sensible economics for clubs like us.
What Salford have done that has been impressive, as joecooke states, is provide a quality match day experience. Whats stopping clubs like ourselves from providing cask ales, quality food etc instead of the overpriced bland rubbish we have always had to put up with? | | | |

Strange one today didn't either rich mens play things to go up. Dislike Salford and what they stand for. Do not want to see them suceed |
Salford just remind me of Blackburn at the start of the Walker days.
The way they have gone about achieving success has been so crass. Signing Rooney from Aberdeen being a prime example as well as Redshaw. Their reaching the football league could have been a considerable achievement had they been more sporting and fair minded about their playing and management recruitment. Signing players from leagues 3 above your own is not vary fair minded. They could have got to the same position by having a recruitment model that plucked the best from lower down the pyramid. For certain their business model will need to change now. They may use the owners clout to get 7 premier league loanees in, and I don’t mean the Ethan Hamilton’s of this world. However as for permanent signings I think signing premier league players will be beyond them. That said buying in solid championship players with a few experienced premier league loanees should see them climb out of L2 soon enough. Thereafter how patient will the owners be?
So Salford are not for me. I hope it unravels and the likes of Solihull will get the change reach the football league with a dignified ethos. | | | |

Some excellent points there, although one of my worries is it could be the current Ollie Rathbone who is tempted by the sort of contract Salford will offer.
Gary Neville was quoted yesterday as saying they would start to announce their recruitment as of 8am on Monday... |  |

If I was a Bury fan I might be a bit miffed that the Nevilles didn't put their money into Gigg Lane rather than Salford given the family connections there.
Having said that I think that Gary is too shrewd to have invested in the Day regime.
And he seems to be the main driving force behind Salford going off the documentary series that was made when they first took over.
I'm not sure that Salford is a vanity project as such. Or at least it wasn't when they originally bought into the club.
Whether or not they've been dazzled by success which has twisted their original objectives since then remains to be seen. | | | |

bury fans seem to have the impression that anybody from the area with a bit of wealth should be stepping in to help every time they end up on their arse due to ridiculous ambitions and overspending. The begging to Umar Kamani on twitter has been one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever seen on the internet.

No problem with Salford doing what Fleetwood and Forest Green have done before them.
Good luck to them in the football league even though some of our potential targets could be swayed by the rich consortia and choose Salford over Dale.
As for the bury fans they are slowly waking up after the 5 years of white chocolate smeared faces lapping up every milky bar Day through them.

Scott Wiseman has signed for another season.
Salford's new signing Richie Towell is the sort of player Dale might have been interested in (not least given his Irishness!), but it'd not surprise me if he's on a bigger salary than BMM could offer.

Rotherham offered him a contract and Salford wiped the floor with it. Just shows how far behind we are now. It’s times like this that a cracking youth academy becomes worth its weight in gold. |  |
