[quote="just_browny":3qalvx7m]OK so I think I'm agreeing with everyone then. I thought the post I was replying to suggested the RFL should have been propping Salford up more than they have. I agree it has gone on far too long and either: (1) the IMG process should have picked up on the issues, or (2) once Salford asked for cash in advance, what they put forward to the IMG process should have been binned off and someone else offered the place in SL.[/quote:3qalvx7m] 1) Yes, definitely. Instead they got a B rating 13.97, rank #12. 2) Agree. But worst still it seems the bailout was provided (with RFL Commercial having control of it) but no timeline for execution of the sustainability cap*. Hence Salford can continue to dally in the hope of this takeover, leaving the whole thing in limbo. Salford have been tricksy since the get go. * https://www.salfordreddevils.com/club-s ... e-rumours/[i:3qalvx7m] The terms of receiving the advancement were that the Club be placed under ‘special measures’ requiring a reduction in overheads of £800,000.
