1.5 million rescue fund for Salford according to the MEN here :- menmedia.co.uk/manchesterevening ... SS+Feed%29

Papering over cracks to me.

Prolonging the inevitable. After all, £1.5m is not even the full cap for one year?

True Fully - and they will have to pay it back. God knows how.

The ownership model doesn't look workable IMO either. Getting fans to run some of the club can work but not in SL.

What happens know at Salford, the funding from the council being withdrawn putts a lot of pressure on the club,

i wonder if the RFL will come in with a rescue plan

Loan from the RFL (£750K) matched by Peel Holdings would get them through next season. Can the RFL afford to do it though ?

The RL, should step in but i don't think they will, peel have also withdrawn the offer by the look of it so that leaves Salford on the edge, with the Bulls the RL step's in and made it clear the players were of limits, folk will say the Bulls offer more than the Reds but why? the team at the bulls looks like it was built with money they did not have and the RL helped them out in more ways than one, so if Salford are in the same plight they should get the same help as the Bulls got,

lets face it we don't want anybody to think there is any favoritism in our game

No because they've got nothing to put against the loan as collateral, i.e. Wakefield.

For a club that has a short-term financial problem they've not helped themselves in terms of getting ST cash in and shirt sales on the go. Equally, I'm sure sponsors will be really tempted to invest in the situation now (not).

They're in a mighty rut. Unless someone is feeling generous or the council have a change of heart, I fear for them.

The directors know they are insolvent, to sell season tickets etc would be against the law, Not looking good.

No it wouldn't. ST's would have gone on sale towards the end of last season when they were still playing games and when cash income was still coming into the club.

The fact that Salford are not selling ST's is a worry in itself. I thought we were late in putting our package(s) together but with only what 6 weeks to the big kick-off it would look to me that Salford won't be in SL for 2013.

Are Halifax still on stand by ?
