Towell's level.

I won't miss Richie Towell, who was disappointing last season. Salford fans can get used to seeing him with his head in his hands a lot after yet another not-so-near-miss., although if he is happy playing in League Two he should do ok there.

I haven't read any reports about this but I am guessing that there will be lots of talk about buying into the project, exciting times ahead, liked what the manager had to say blah blah blah. Money talks. I doubt that Salford are long-term sustainable. You can buy promotions by throwing money around but you can't build a real football club with roots overnight. They might go through League Two and even League One in a hurry but the story of Salford City FC won't ultimately end well. That is what my crystal ball is telling me.

The usual premier league balls when someone arrives from Bolivia or Armenia or wherever is 'it was always my dream to play for (insert name of highest bidder) when I was growing up'. I guess Towell can't really say that about Salford, but still 'I enjoyed the do***entary' isn't ever so convincing if that's the reason he's given. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with going where the money is if that's the motivation. I just wish players wouldn't take supporters for fools. Perhaps I am doing him a disservice. I haven't seen the do***entary.

I got no bother with Salford and the 'never win owt with kids' - I hope they do build a sustainable club. How many clubs are run by billionaires or as part of a portfolio for a 500Index company who actually do nothing good for this world? Least City are run as a football club top to bottom by people who've been in football and most from the absolute depths of the pyramid. I hope the project continues, as for Towell, he thought he was better than what he was, bit of an ego that his football couldn't back up. A centre mid who doesn't exactly bring anything to the table, what would you say Towell was good at? - cos I can't think of anything particular.

Good Luck to Richie, but for me he was always looking to score the next worldy for his own 5 mins of fame, rather than try and pss it to create for the team.

When Towell was on, and he seemed to run around a lot with the ball and be beaten in a tackle, where as Crooks looks and plays the ball a lot better.

2/3 touches for towell is crooks one touch - i noticed this when watching Crooks last play.

sometime this approach by crookes was lost on the players that he was passing to, and the ball was lost.

Newell for me can go, we thank him for his service with the Millers, we've seen some cracking goals but we move on.

Grant Ward / Adeyami /Dicko - No thanks,

Surely we can do better than this crop of potential medicine room attendees, whats Scott been doing for the past few weeks.
