The Dentist Wilf: You know this is firmly a disgrace for me. I can't believe what it must be like if you're a Salford fan. Fielding weakened teams, selling their biggest asset and fans favourite, failing to pay wages on time, not knowing who has apparently bought your club and knowing that whoever they are they can't get money into this country. It's a real, embarrassment for the game as a whole coming as it does as a coupe by the clubs taking place, the RFL being marginalised by the owners and senior administrators being replaced. I searched on news now for anything across all medias on the Salford situation from the Club itself and .... nothing. Now we hear strong rumours that the players and staff wages were not actually paid by the new owners and instead by the RL out of the remains of their Sky allocation. What is happening? Again nothing confirmed or explained what a blooming mess.
Agree Pete in that it’s a total Horlicks and a poop show both by Salford as a club and the RFL as a governing body. I’d heard it was the RFL that had paid the players at Salford to allow their game at Cas to go ahead. If that is indeed the case then serious questions need to be asked as to the suitability of the people involved at board level and decision making at the RFL as well as the real situation at Salford.
All integrity has now been wiped out for both the League and Cup for this season with what is just another debacle to add to the long ever growing list, and we aren’t even halfway through March.
