They are the dregs of English League, what would they be worth? About a buck fifty?

I hope Uncle Nick likes losing money, because they aren't a profitable operation.

Either buy into Salford and build the club up within the city of Salford or invest in a club like the nomadic Swinton lions and move them over into Manchester but don’t rebrand Salford into a Manchester team whilst remaining in the city of Salford.

The one that got away.

Manchester Rangers withdraw team after League One snub | Love Rugby League

Ambitious development club Manchester Rangers have withdrawn from their community league after their application to join League One was rejected.

sadly an all to typical RL story in England and a missed opportunity which would have been ideal for NRL investment.

I think that they'd be buying into all the existing infrastructure of pathways, administration ect.
They need to be rebranded to Manchester and play in Manchester, hopefully pulling along the existing fan base.

Stupid roosters

There’s already a Salford city roosters team

I think that’s very unlikely to happen …. It would be like the Sharks or Manly getting sold and then rebranded say to the Sydney Rhinos and playing their games out of Allianz …. I don’t see that being a successful move in keeping the current fan base on board …

Where in 'Manchester'?

Where in 'Manchester'?

Salford city stadium

They aren’t just proposing a new logo but a new city name

Roosters are just being stupid

 

[ThornlieBear]

They are basically just buying their spot in the competition.

Where in 'Manchester'?

Yeah you got me, I wasn't really over the geography of Manchester and Salford in as in Manchester as anywhere I guess.

The point is, finding a way that all of Manchester feels part and it might be as simple as a name change and some marketing. I think it makes the comp look better soon as your saying Manchester as opposed to Salford.

It worked for the once Auckland Warriors, selling out Christchurch now.

You need all of Manchester to at least have the opportunity to identify with the team.

Salford crowds given all the negativity aren’t awful

Hudds are just a waste of space and smash will be
