Seem to be in a lot of financial trouble. Considered administration in the close-season. Offloading players in a rush.

Seems clear that they do not have the income to sustain a SL club now that Koukash has gone, and they’ve no replacement. I’m concerned we’re looking at a potential Bradford-style collapse in mid-season.

I’d say they’d be better off volunteering to go to the championship in order to cut their cloth, but I don’t know to what extent they can manage the stadium issue even if they did. It’s looking grim.

Do you know all this for sure or are you just saying that

Well Salford have only recently put out a statement to say that they do not need to sell players to survive. Make of that what you will.

They have, and I’d be amazed if any club ever said that was the case, even when it was.Yet now we hear Niall Evalds is likely to follow Gareth O’Brien. These aren’t just fringe squad players, and it’s not just people leaving at the end of the season as per normal business. If you start hearing rumours about Robert Lui or Junior Sau then it’s probably time to start winding the sirens.

The info about the close-season decision whether or not to go into administration was from TotalRL today.

I think if one more player goes then that will be it. The rest will be straight on the phone to their agent. I know I would.

Very reminiscent of the Bulls situation. We started by letting our better players go at the end of their deals then selling to make ends meet. Look where that got us. All the time the club issued reassuring statements that turned out to be bollox.

I feel for the Salford fans.

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you. Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.:Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/GNOME2.JPG



If Salford go under then I think the possible 14 team Superleague is dead and buried.

No doubt that the advocates for expansion have their Kleenex hand towels at the ready.

Me too. We should be willing to consider fairly rapid and significant action, although it’s really hard to see how it can be fixed without a big reduction in Salford’s costs, which can only really be addressed by a shift to a semi-pro squad in the championship.

The fans, the members, the people there.. from the day I stepped foot onto that field at the AJ Bell Stadium,I knew I would love that club for the rest of my life. "Jackson Hastings".. Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything.

For anyone interested in facts the statement below explains exactly what happened re the departure of Gaz O'Brien.


[iSalford Red Devils can confirm that full-back Gareth O’Brien will join Betfred Championship side Toronto Wolfpack (subject to RFL approval).

At the end of last week the Club were approached by Toronto with an official offer for Gareth. The Club made Gareth aware of the interest and he informed the Red Devils he did not wish to leave. This offer was turned down and it was reiterated to Toronto that Gareth was not for sale on the basis the Club neither wanted nor needed to sell.

Representatives for the player returned the next day requesting permission for Gareth to speak to the Wolfpack.

The Red Devils while disappointed in this sudden change of heart but, not wishing to retain a player who was not 100% committed to Salford Red Devils, granted the appropriate permission.

Salford Red Devils then issued an undisclosed fee for the transfer which was met and the player has since agreed personal terms with the Wolfpack over the weekend.

Everyone at Salford Red Devils would like to thank Gareth for his service. The full-back stepped up with an unforgettable moment – in the 2016 Million Pound Game – when the Club needed it the most and wrote himself into the history of rugby league in Salford.

While the Club is sorry to see Gareth leave, Salford Red Devils are keen to maintain a squad that is fully motivated and committed. With that in mind the Club are currently active in the market for replacements and will make further announcements regarding the strengthening of the squad in due course.[/i

They had a great chance to cut there cloth accordingly and put a bit of money in the bank when KR came knocking on there door with a decent offer for Lui, looks like they were just burying there heads in the sand.

"clubs look at us and think we're a little bit vulnerable. But we're a club that are not selling anybody."

Well we made it to the second page of the thread before someone said it, grammatical error and all.
