today have been issued with a winding up order to be heard on the 29th oct an absolute joke the franchise system dont know how long is gonna take the rfl to realise it dosnt work club goes bang ourselfs halifax fetherstone or sheffield should be given the chance to replace them

Its not hmrc that's issued it. Club sponsors and a management consultant have had it issued. According to salford its only a small amount.........well pay it if thats the case.

with what exactly you have got no money payin a fortune for a stadium that sale are basicly the primary tennants, players leaving right n left nobody joining and dosent hide the fact that an rfl rule under the tearms of your licence has been broken !

er.....I'm not a Salford fan

i thought you were .

Nothing could be further from the truth as you well know

Really?

Classic.

Neither am I. But they are in trouble.

But you have to admit anyone new on here would think you are with a 'handle' like 'salfordlad' always knew it would get you in trouble you need to move back to Leigh for safety's sake

As for Salford RL the writing has been on the wall for quite a while I hope this is not what I fear - the beginning of the end - get it sorted RFL before it's too late for the rest.

With what happened with Bradford Salford have nothing to fear. SLE will buy them...

Hope LSV aren't a major creditor. That must/should be good money they pay for using LSV as a training base, week in, week out.

I love how people jump to conclusions when they don't understand what has happened.

A winding up petition is totally different to an HMRC winding up order. It's an issue with a sponsor according to a few Salford fans I know.

Salfords finances arnt great, but its nothing to do with this (allegedly).

Rumours have also started that Sale are in absolute strife too, their players are paid so much more than Salford I think they thought they would progress moving to SCS, but they have lost all corporate monies (like we did at LSV) by moving away from Edgely Park.

If its a small amount then just pay it. However to lodge the petition it has cost a couple of grand so they must feel it is worth it

.....and why bring people in to sort it out? and what happened to the announcements promised of new investment, that was over a month ago. Don't forget HMRC tried to wind them up earlier this year but tax bill was eventually paid.

They are pencilled in for 30th December for our 1st friendly with Wigan on 6th .
