Salford looked like a team of players who’d arranged better deals elsewhere before the Swiss saviour took over. Certainly weren’t playing for the badge were they?

That salford side should have been competitive.  No doubt the disruption pre season and no wages dropping yesterday played a massive part in  their performance

The Salford situation is becoming more of a shambles by the day, players not getting paid on time is not acceptable and the teams lucky enough to be playing them early in the season makes for an uneven playing field.

One season after another Salford always seem to be struggling financially , I don't know why anyone would sign for them knowing their history .

Simply not enough fans interested and moving to a new stadium that's further away hasn't helped them. Our club used to tell us we needed 7.5k to break even and the SKY deal was better back then so that number will have increased.

How did the new owners pass the fit and proper test when the funds evidentially are yet to be cleared? 

Players will be feeling a little silly now after their antics on social media.

According to Matt Shaw and hour ago they still haven't received any payments

So Salford players have been told they won't receive their pay today and are unlikely to get it until next week. I know most of these lads won't be living pay check to pay check but that's really poor and can have big knock on effects of any direct debits that were also due today/Monday.

Salford are now in breach of their contracts. Possibly a good time to start making them offers again. Must surely be a few players who are really ed off with the whole situation and want out. This could easily be a recurring theme each pay day.

I wonder if breaking contract like this gives players the option to just walk out, I ain't clued up on contractual issues!
