We have a rival for League 2’s richest club.

This is way too vague for any predictions on their wealth.

Salford now taken over too so you'd imagine they'd have some financial muscle to flex.

Apparently they've raised £20m to invest in the squad with the aim of reaching the Prem. That's not as much as you think - that's three years (minimum) to get to the Prem, including transfer fees, wages, agents fees etc. Contracts will have clauses, wages/fees will increase in L1 and the Championship. When you see the sort of money Championship clubs (and even some L1 clubs) are spending in a single season it's not massive money anymore. Expect they'll be a force in L2, and reasonably competitive in L1, but after that who knows.

Colchester on the other hand, I have no idea, very little info on their new owners.
