If it is true then the RFL and the club have got to come clean before D day as kicking out a club who has no or little debt to keep one in which could go bust is a disgrace.
I know people will say we did it but we have been found out and are now paying for it and for the RFL to keep somebody in who is skint is just plain wrong,regardless of who they are.I also suspect that it will never be made public who it is although there are probably 3-4 candidates.

From whats been said sounds like a club from a prized area as far as the RFL are concerned but not London or Wales.

A team who are still paying off their last coach and his assistant?

From the cryptic clues I would suggest Salford.

It wouldn’t be surprising considering the investment in the team and crowds worse than Trinity’s.

Can't be Salford then cos wasn't Veivers their assistant and he is still there.
Not the Whinos by any chance cos they let 2 assistants go not just 1,although not a prized area only other is Catalans.

Malcolm Alker perhaps

Correct

It is baffling how Salford could afford to invest the amount they did in players over the winter and manage to survive with an average crowd of only around 4000 without having a wealthy backer.

Lots of straw clutching still happening on here I see.

I believe it’s called speculation.

Really sorry to Rain on your parade, But We are not having Financial Difficulties, Dave "Nosey" Parker has got his story very twisted on this one, Everybody has been paid as usual, We are in in the proccess of gaining another 3 year franchise , our stadium is looking fantastic and our team have slowly started showing some promise. Matt Parish has arrived and we can now start laying foundations for next years squad and hoping to finish this year strongly. FWIW John Wilkinson is a "Wealthy" Backer as is Iain Watson who is our director and current owner of the Willows Land (Earmarked for new Godliman & Watson Homes development) . So sorry to those who were getting excited at the prospect of a Salford saving thier Teams bacon, We aint going anywhere apart from onwards and upwards!
Much Love
Salford

good for you. i for one wish salford no ills. i do however subscribe to the notion that salford have a new ground to offer, but little else at the moment. i hope they can kick on and fill the thing before too long!

not what i heard.

if they cant get a.n.other to come on board at new stadium, then salford cannot afford the rent on their own was the gist.

is that not the the case then?

Just a lot of pre franchise conspiracy theory im happy to report, If im wrong i will hold my hands up but we have always been very very astute with our Finance Managment
All the best to Wakey too, Great Traditonal club i hope your application is succesful!

I can assure your Mr John Wilkinson is easily wealthy enough to afford the players wages and all that happened was the wages were delayed by a couple of weeks, they have been paid though.
