Perhaps Manchester City could help, after all they throw £millions away on Balotelli and Nasri.

brilliant swifty, brilliant.

Seriously, tho' I'm no accountant, but, Salford have debts of £1.5 million, the council and Peel holdings were going to pay them off.
Right if they did, what then? Income v expenditure is still as it was. Not enough coming in v too much going out, so how long could they exist?
How long before another bail out?

oh dear, ticked all the boxes....

Did anyone hear Tony Rae's radio interview recently? Basically saying London Broncos will end up being the biggest SL club. This is why the game falters. No grip on reality whatsoever. The only message that comes out of the RFL is "aren't we doing great"?

I want to know who at KPMG gave their "considered" opinion on the clubs that were awarded a license. Two of them have effectively gone bust.

The game is buggered at the top due to most SL clubs not run properly and cant afford to be fulltime clubs on and off the field. The SL clubs and the RFL then make stupid short term decisions which hurt the rest of the game to help the SL clubs. The clueless twins Wood and Rimmer keep supporting Sl at the expense of the rest of the game and make stupid decisions. The game cant continue the way things are and Wood and Rimmer should go. Sl in its current formation is not a viable option. Changes need to be made and a load of people need to go both at Clubs and the RFL. The game as a whle is way more important than SL. Sadly the RFL and SL clubs dont think that. I hope Salford survive but its not looking good

No surprise that the Council won't help them in the current climate

Should have left it there to be honest.

The game is going down the pan, Rugby Union is on an upwards spiral (so it seems) a booming 2015 Rugby Union World Cup, could that kill our game?

Our game will survive - albeit perhaps on an even smaller scale. Sky will always find a slot in their scedule but may pay less. Heaven forbid that the numbnuts in SL will have to go semi-pro. Rugby Union will eventually rein in their chairmen because they too are afflicted by the stupidity bug.

Here's what happened - the RFL relaxed the 50% part of the salary cap rule. Stupid people in charge of clubs then did what they do best. The RFL have played a massive part in the collapse of these clubs but continue to wring their hands.
