Quote Roy Haggerty="Roy Haggerty"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.'"
"Cutting their cloth in the Championship" would be impossible if they want to stay at The AJ Bell stadium.
From some of the numbers mentioned by Salfords own fans, the cost of playing there isn't sustainable in SL, let alone down in the Championship.
If they were to get relegated, there may be some form of parachute payment but, I dont think that it would be enough.
Off loading players part way through the season will be a big worry to the Salford faithful and unless there is someone with cash and a decent master-plan, from the outside, things dont look that great.
