| Quote: Red John "Salford were hit with a £50,000 tax bill earlier in the season. The Salford forum went into one of its all too regular Chicken Licken phases (it's in one now, courtesy of the OP) while the club just got on and paid it. The winding up petition may have related to that.'"
Entirely possible. These orders get issued against companies more frequently than many people suppose.

We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.
But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg |

| There's a lot of hearsay and conjecture involved with this. Most of us know the club's not exactly in a rosy position, but considering the club's creditors are Wilkinson and the other directors then it all seems a little odd.
The stuff about going back to the Willows makes no sense either, considering the cost involved to get it back to anywhere near habitable and the general state of the ground alongside the fact that the directors are under immense pressure to get it sold for housing as promised.
I certainly don't think we're financially well off but this sort of mud-slinging and rumour mongering is a bit much.

| GT we need to return to our own board as Red John states.
For other readers of the posts: there are serious differences of opinion over on the Reds site, not, as suggested, a consensus that the world is coming to an end.
I am wondering why Cavendish Street opened this here not on Scarlet Turkey. Spreading discord?

| Clubs are living beyond their means because they have to attract talent to bring people through the gates. No people through the gates means no cash, no cash means mediocre players and mediocre players have no chance of winning trophies.
Players want to win trophies, they can't do that in garbage teams. Is it worth over spending and hopefully getting the magic players needed? Probably not, but its a gamble people have to take.
Another team looking down the barrel. Cannot give teams like these sympathy though, sweeping things under the carpet will only make it worse.

| The OP has apologised on the Salford forum, although, to be honest, I couldn't work out if he was telling us that what he said was wrong, or if he was telling us he was wrong to say what he said.
In any event, it's beginning to look like a case of 'Move along. Nothing to see here.'

| strange how when someone who claims to know a man who
has a dog that chased a cat that caught a mouse that lived in the boardroom at salford and told him salford would be going into administration, and we get six pages of postings most of which are happy to believe it, but nearly 72 hours after the chaiman has explained the position we only get a few commentsis and the thred dies
it any wonder our sport gets so much negative media coverage.

I blame the club board. They're forever handing over information to any passing muppet, and that information is invariably wrong.

| Tell that to Portsmouth FC.
If it quacks like a duck....
I really hope Salford sort themselves out, it may not be terminal yet, but planning for 8k crowds whilst getting <6k does not sound good.

Another thing to bear in mind is that, irrespective of whether the rumours are true or not, as far as the fans' forums are concerned, it's now an iron clad truth, and Salford's name will appear in the list of clubs who have been in administration or close to administration when there's (yet another) 'debate' on here about franchising.
So, thanks for that Cavendish Street. Well played, that man.

Portsmouth were passed from one owner with a complicated name to another over a short period of time, with one rumour being that one of those owners had won the club in a card game. Many of those owners went on mini spending sprees.
John Wilkinson has been chairman of Salford since the days of unlimited tackles and baggy shorts, and has always run the club very tightly, so I don't see what happened at Portsmouth FC as really being of any relevance here.

NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9857.jpg |

| It's a sad day when a RL club in our heartlands is looking to survive by leeching of RU! Good to hear Salford are not in crisis but sounds like they need to find some extra income streams as the likelihood meeting crowd expectations is low. I would have though with the better facilities corporate attraction would be greater and they would be selling more sponsorships and boxes?

More RL clubs need to think like this"This club has got to be led by sales and marketing,"'"
It really is about investing in attracting fans.....I am stunned that a few clubs and one in particular, continue to fail to see this
