Super league/ RFL has a lot to answer for allowing this situation to play out like it has. What was needed was strong leadership. Not only was all this  inevitable and the RFL has given them 500K, who was watching over this Blind Pugh ! 

Where do we go from here , keep throwing more money to hopefully get them to the end of the season ?
It makes a mockery of IMG financial management requirements 


What a mess.

They need to see the season out to ensure SL meets their contractual obligations. After that they're gone unfortunately. 


Myself and a few others have been saying this is the way it would end for Salford for a few years, even when they had been relatively successful. Living on the bubble eventually catches up with you and once the council said no more they were screwed, hence the payday loans to cover what the council no longer would. 


The games isn't finding another half a million quid to stave off HMRC, I wounder if the other clubs will chuck in £50k each to keep them going.

Looking grim for the club https://www.alloutrugbyleague.co.uk/news/salford-red-devils-future-hit-1152184?utm_source=whatsapp&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=communities

Nothing most didn’t expect in those two articles unfortunately. 


They will be aided to see the season out and then likely cut adrift into lower leagues, hopefully new management can come in to stabilise and rebuild at some point. 

Hang on - how is this the RFL's fault? They could have communicated more frequently about it, but otherwise what would you have done differently?


Can't but feel frustrated when fans point the finger straight at the governing body instead of the club's previous and current administrators, the player agents, or even just seeing the fact that a professional rugby league team in Salford isn't financially viable. 


Salford will get the rest of their TV payment like all the other clubs, and hopefully that's enough to help them finish 27 rounds. Then IMG's financial requirements will see them out of super league - that's why this system was introduced. Bear in mind they almost got the heave ho last year. 


Hopefully rebuild outside the top tier, like we did and like London are having to. I'm sad for their fans, but it's for the benefit of the league.
