Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

I hope that Carlos Zaluendo bloke remembers all the MOET I bought him and his players when they were celelbrating in Leigh after the CC win over Blackpool back in 2004 I think :wink:

Go up to him and introduce yourself when you are down there.:HUG:

But for heaven's sake do not start nibbling on the end of his moustache. He is a policeman and he is not gay! :WHISPER:

Companies House might point you in the right direction on Salford's current net worth but good luck with the Toulouse numbers. What you have done is come to some general sweeping assumptions based on no emperical and financial data whatsoever. Poor you.


salfords finances are quite poor.

if you cant work that out, well you should read more.

Retired from the police a couple of years ago, didn't he?

Toulouse's finances have been documented in the sense that they've talked to the media about what budget they expected to have, taking into account the expected money from local government and sponsors. The pound has dropped thirty percent against the euro over the past year, so I suspect they'd look a much better bet now than they did when the franchise decisions were made. Their ticket prices are higher than either the local football and rugby union teams, which is an interesting decision. And as some French fans have pointed out, they could definitely have put together a side that would have at least matched Celtic Crusaders record thus far.

He was a police bureaucrat. But I thought that he was still in some capacity. I have not been down there, or talked to him about that, for over a year so I am not 100% certain on that.

Can you elaborate on that? I assume that you mean that it is not as strong a team as he could have put together.

Still no facts. No surprise there. Jog on.

He retired at 55, which is compulsory in the french police. He was an inspector in the national force and head of a team of detectives, before moving at the end of his career into a role associated with reducing sports related violence (on and off field).

Quote:Can you elaborate on that? I assume that you mean that it is not as strong a team as he could have put together.

I think, in their ironic, gallic fashion, they were observing that Celtic had lost 8 from 8 and that Toulouse could've managed to do that, too.
