O/T Salford City FC

The current owners of the above have invested a further £2.5 million into their club to try and ensure promotion to EFL 1 this summer.

On the evidence of what we saw when we played them at The Globe they certainly need that investment if promotion is to be even a long long way away.

If only we had a 10th of that amount to invest in the squad it would be like a second coming of Christmas.

We can only dream of such money being made available for team rebuilding and even then nothing is guaranteed.

They're even offloading their cast offs to a hard up club just 8 miles away

If true that's mind boggling! Got to be a bigger budget than most, if not all EFL 1 and probably quite a few Championship clubs.

That's 2.5 mill over the last 6 months not a new 2.5 mill. Bearing that in mind they still have a lot to do to get promoted this year.

They'll not be a Premier League club and my bet would be League 1 at best. Few owners keep throwing money away like that unless they are getting rapid results, which they have up to now but they'll grind to a halt.

Should this thread not be O/T?

[P/T Indie]

I agree at the very best they might manage to do a Burton and have 1 year in the Prem but with their crowds I think they will be League 1 a bit like Fleetwood.

The investment is coming from a group of relatively young, very rich ex footballers, a vanity project which will undoubtedly run for quite a while and may even attract other heavyweight investors if one or two of them get bored, they won't ever make the premier league but the championship will be achievable.

[BerlinWaller]

Each ex player owns 10% in the club. Peter Lim owns the rest of the club so they already have a Billionaire on board.

Now 12 points off play offs. Not their turn this year!

I see that they are splashing the cash having just bought Bruno Andrade from Lincoln. I never like these “undisclosed fee” transfers. I would like to know exactly what teams in out league can afford
