Just been sacked. Mental. It is just a vanity project by a load of former Man U players, isn’t it? Warren Joyce is in their little gang, so he was always going to get the job. I must admit Salford are pretty high up on the list of utterly pointless clubs, no real support, yet paying players incredible sums in League Two just so this lot can own a league club. When you consider that Gary & Phil Neville are from Bury you would have thought they might have saved them instead rather than get another futile North West club into the league.

I think Red-Robbo is also suggesting it is true and therefore you crediting SL for 14/15 when he was stopped from entering the dressing room in 13/14 ruins your little claim. Sorry!
