Not sure that's entirely right, this sort of stuff can take forever for entirely innocent reasons. It's not just a box ticking exercise.
i said this over on the KR forum earlier:
All conveniently happened when Salford was on death’s door financially.
There’s a lot more to this saga and plenty left to unpick in the coming months. I don’t for one second think Paul King left them with a good deal, he’s well out of his depth, and it’s shown before. The full extent of the mess he’s got them into is yet to be revealed, but I’ve got a feeling it won’t be good.
There’s no way random consortiums/swiss bankers invest in clubs they’ve never heard of, in a game/league they know nothing about, then, straight out of the gate, clear 5 million £ in club debt (allegedly). It stinks.
The stadium is council-owned, the club barely pulls 3,000 fans, and until three months ago, they had no profit/loss from anything sold within the stadium, meaning they have zero assets. So why would anyone invest so hastily, as Salford claims? It just doesn’t add up.
And to reiterate the point, all this has come together just before the club was going into potential administration .....
I feel the RFL are stalling with due diligence as theyve seen something odd
as Sir Gregory ParsloeP said above, there's surely no ulterior motive in all of this...
