Problem is that all SL clubs are running at a loss and Salford not even close to being the biggest apparently, they’re definitely at the lower end of the spending, you’d be opening a huge can of worms at this stage now if you restricted spending in relation to income. I’m sure the salary cap used to be proportional of revenue but that’s long gone now.
[quote="Chris71":1wzr70wj]Hope you're right but with all the delays, buying of time the smoke & mirrors its hard to tell what's the actual reality of the whole sorry situation.

I would also say that questions have to be asked about how Salford have operated. It's one thing operating at a loss but it's another to be at the point that Salford seem to have reached where it's immediate investment or sales. Other clubs aren't asking for advances or are having to be placed under "special measures". Whilst it's a sorry situation, I think it needs looking into regarding how Salford got into this position and what they could have (and perhaps should have) done differently.
Still think there needs to be some sort of retrospective punishment for Salford for the mess they are in.
Over the last few years we've had to make cut after cut to ensure we don't fall into financial ruin, but they've just been spending beyond their means and relying on handouts and bailouts from the rfl, councils, supporters etc... which all seems a bit shady although no proper financial audit seems to have taken place when handing out licence grades.
Really poor all round from Salford, IMG and the rfl (but it's what we've come to expect, right???)

Indeed, or the reality would possibly have been I'll raise you a bag of chips and a slightly used pot of chip spice
