There's a fledgling Swedish rugby league competition. Possible way in for a Swedish Super League franchise through Salford, merger or otherwise?

And there doesn't appear to be any change in ownership of Salford Football Club (1914) Ltd - nothing registered at Companies House since 8th December when the accounts were filed - curiouser & curiouser said Alice!

A Newco usually is independent of the parent, the debts stay with the parent. This is usually after a club goes into administration and a buy out happens.
That's why Rangers NewCo didn't receive any money from players that left.

Was the petition dismissed today?

Not sure but I think all creditors have to agree and have to be treated equally but I could be wrong.
I assume the Wilkinson loans were converted to equity and are lost forever,unlike the creditors who will be paid over 5 years.
I think the carrot is to tell people that,if they don't agree to this,the firm will be liquidated and nobody will receive anything.
The CVA might well have been a RFL stipulation to allow the Rugby franchise to be transferred to a Newco.

Also to avoid a points deduction. I imagine there are benefits for Koukash here if he is indeed paying off the debt. For one, the newco doesn't inherit a bad credit history.
