Sharks ‘Looking At EP Exit’

Brian Kennedy states today that Sale Sharks are looking for an escape route out of Edgeley Park, and are ‘considering’ a move to Salford Reds’ new stadium when it opens in February of next year.

Kennedy, speaking to the Manchester Evening News, said:

“We are weighing up all the possibilities.”

“There are clearly possibilities in Salford as well as with Edgeley Park and elsewhere. There’s a lot of things to consider.”

Sharks have been the subject of the County fans’ ire over the past eight years, with the Hatters believing (rightfully so) that our club is locked in an increasingly unaffordable rent deal.

“We’re not yet ready to make a decision and we’ve also got to consider seriously what’s right for Stockport County because that’s important to us.”

“We are in the process of working on some initiatives that will help Stockport and hopefully give them the best chance of getting back up into League Two.”

“So all these things are a factor right now and are in the boiling pot we are considering and hopefully we’ll come up with some initiatives over the next month or so.”

“But clearly Salford is one option that we are considering very seriously and it’s one that the powers that be are keen on. We’re in the process of discussions and negotiations and we don’t know where that is going to end.”

“Considering a move.” Yeah right.

Cheerio Kennedy. Don’t let the door hit you on the arse on the way out.
