How far can a Manufactured Team Go

[wembley94]

Salford City with billionaire Peter Lim and the class of 92.are surely going to win promotion after promotion.with sponsors queuing up to give them money.any chance the premier league

City Chelsea bstards and to a lesser extent Leicester have bought enough between them.

They can go as far as anyone can, but when they reach the top table they'll have to either get into bed with a top football agent, like Wolves, or pay over the odds in fees and wages to get better quality players in.

By that point the top clubs will find a way to stop smaller clubs doing it.

bfcjg...City and Chelsea are big clubs.but Salford only a few years ago .only got one hundred fans playing in the 8th division

I can see them playing League One or Championship football, and that being about their ceiling. Maybe they’ll move stadiums and acquire a larger fanbase but they’ll never be more than a Wimbledon type size.

They are five miles from both Manchester clubs so how far they go will surely be limited by that. I just wonder what might happen to them if the class of 92 find a new toy to play with.

Last season went to the Fylde v Salford game.and talking with the Salford fans.most of them used to support City.and for being only five miles from both Manchester clubs.not sure that they care a bout growing the fan base

RB Leipzig got all the way to the Champions League

[Pstotto]

To the semi finals of the Champions League... Man City.

Red Bull Leipzig ditto almost.

I think there is only so far a small club can go and despite all the publicity and money they have had thrown at them Salford are a tiny club and will eventually come to a halt somewhere around League One/Championship. To be fair I hope they do well (although I did want Fylde to get into the league before them). Oddly, speaking of Fylde FC, I was considering (before Salford beat them) how strange it would be to have 3 teams in the Fylde area when they struggle to support one club. Had they achieved promotion would there have been any other area so low in population with 3 football League clubs? Interesting task for someone to check out?
