And what if this happened and Giggs was United manager?
Class of 92: Out of their league
- Thread starter Sassy Colin
- Start date
We're fecked.
Again. Its already disclosed to the club, so I'm assuming its already a part of his agreement for being assistant manager. Stuff like - non-compete, devotion of time to United (and not Salford), etc. If he is the United manager, he could still manage the team in a game against Salford but it will open his team selections, tactics, conduct etc. to a high level of scrutiny. In the end, a conflict of interest only needs to be resolved/ accommodated as long as it's not perpetual. In a one off FA Cup game, its not very relevant. But hypothetically, if Salford and United were both in the premier league then I'm sure Giggs would have to either resign as the manager, or sell his stake in Salford.
What are their long term plans?
Gary mentioned a 20,000 capacity stadium. Who's going to fill it?

He played in the 1992 Youth Cup Final. That's what the whole Class of 92 was about the Youth Cup winning squad. I say squad because I don't think Scholes played in the final.
Is Salford's match today being televised?
On bbc2 now
Yeah cheers, found a stream.
Shocking defending for that penalty.
They are all so shit. Makes me angry watching them fail at the basics.
1:1! 
Get in!
What are you expecting from Semi pro footballers?
If they were better they'd be full pro's, I think they are doing well.
Hally you ledge
I don't know. Just seems like they are worse then me and my mates down the park having a kick about. I can certainly cross better then most of their players after beating a man.
lolbollocks
Dawson looks leggy to me, I'd consider changing him as he's the one looking most out of his depth.
Can you not cross a ball without sending it flying over the goal 30 feet in the air? That's happened a lot in this game.
The wind is a massive factor.
Keep the ball low then. Wind doesn't cause you to spoon it as high as possible.
And yet here they are playing in the FA Cup whilst you're on the caf.
It's windy as feck, suggesting you and your mates are better is just stupid/ignorant.
Ya, you and your mates are much better than these lads....
The balls bobbling. They're certainly not Premiership quality players. However, to suggest they're no better than you and your mates is somewhat overstating your abilities.
are people really slating a lowly non league team, playing a league 2 team? 
It's level you donut!
It's level you donut!
there's possibly a slight difference.
in that you probably have about 20mins before your fat ginger mate comes over to close you down, whereas these guys have proper league class professionals making it slightly harder for them.
you and your mates wouldn't get a second touch on the ball against anyone on this pitch
Ya but one of the lads can cross much better than these fecks!are people really slating a lowly non league team, playing a league 2 team?
It's level you donut!
that's not nothing on an old mate's level of hyperbole.
I'll never forget him saying even he'd score 30 a year in Spain.
Despite the fact he never scored one against some utter toilet at the work's 5 a side!
What the absolute feck is this presenter wearing on his feet?

Tbf maybe Gol123 and his mates are really good.
Hey, we were city champions in the 7 a side league.
Honestly though, a mate who I used to play with has got trials with Southamptons youth teams and he wasn't even one of the better guys when we played. To suggest that they were better then these guys isn't that outlandish. I would suspect a lot of members on this site would easily get into this Salford team and probably be the best player there. They're just that bad.
You'd swear the Salford lads were just plucked from pub teams across the land, and none of them had any form of a career anywhere.
you sort of had a chance of credibility with the "my mate was brill" anecdote, but the last lines are just mad.
No doubt there's a few good players on here, but the majority will be puny kids, fatties, or over the hill barstards.
You would never have guessed from the way they were playing.
There are quite a few thousand people on here so it isn't too much to suggest that we could pick 11 who could play better then the Salford bunch.
That's the thing with my mate, he wasn't the standout player whenever we played together. Certainly not trials for Southampton good.
I know those crosses are (mostly) not as bad as 30 foot in the air and this strays off topic but if crap crossing makes Salford players unworthy of getting paid to play football, every fan who attended/watched the above game deserves compensation. It's hard to compare the two but crap crossing actually appears to be pretty common.
I'm a puny 22 year old who's fat on the inside AND over the hill. Do I count?
Gol123 would have scored that.
What a save!
Fuuuuuu
You remind me of a mate who was a pretty decent footballer at a local level. Brought him over to a game at Old Trafford. We got to the stadium early, watched the warm up and he pipes up "there isn't much between us and them is there? Bit of training and we can match them" we giggled a bit but he remained stern faced. He was bloody serious...
It is one thing to make a statement. It is another to put it into practice from 5 or 7 aside into a pressurised 11 aside environment where halftime cigarettes and nursing hangovers are not the norm
Most of those crosses are pretty good though. There was just a lack of anticipation and reading of the crosses from the attackers which meant nobody was on the end to attack them.
I do have a problem understanding how players sky their shots so much. The playing surface is beautiful and hardly any wind in comparison to grass roots yet I rarely see it happen in grass roots football like it does with professional players. If anything, a lack of power is usually the problem. Not blasting it as high as they do though.
