Andy Wilson report above from the Observer

Be nice if it could happen but cant see it as the support we get through gates at moment at every super league club are struggleing finacially and and would create a competion where big clubs get larger and small clubs struggle. It would become a two tear league again

When MK started making noises to this effect I was quite worried but at least the jump isn't a large one. It's a reasonable ask I think.

To "their" cap? as in only Salfords? thats how that quote reads to me.

Not a chance. Think about it? How would you have felt pre Dr Cash turning up and other clubs could spend more and you didn't have the cash to splash? You could also have been the victim as in the past of BIG clubs taking your players

. That would have left you further behind. Don't get me wrong if the cap goes up Mr Moran will arrange a Take That concert and we will buy the world.

I can see opinions being split on this. Some people will welcome big new investment in the sport and like to see a more competitive Salford enhancing Superleague. (Sooner rather that later) Others will look at it purely from an angle of how it may negatively affect their club.

Genuine question - does anyone know what the bloke is a doctor of?

Electrical Engineering I think I read somewhere.

Elecrical engineering or something like that

Provided the Dr does not seek repayment beyond what he paid for the club for the seasons in which he does this, I for one would be glad to see him given this opportunity for say 3 years. Let's see if Salford can function and be revitalised on an enhanced salary cap and use the outcome to decide if the SL for every club in SL should be raised.
