Looks like Salford are headed to the Championship at best or liquidation at the worst, barring a miracle they're pretty much done as a super league club.

Looks like the end of a once great club, sad day when it comes but the current situation for Salford is untenable.

Great player and coach, recall Widnes as the comeback kings in the 70s and Laughton was the loose forward, really top team with the likes of Bowden, Mills, Shaw.

Acquiring the land around the stadium makes business sense, acquiring the club doesn't, either way Salford cannot survive it would seem as a SL outfit, Sneyd gone, who's next? Its just unsustainable.

In hindsight I wonder if Rowley now regrets distancing himself from the Hull and Leeds coaching positions that were up for grabs last year, Salford must be a dreadful work environment.

It's an impressive squad that Salford have named albeit minus Lewis and Mellor, a legitimately strong squad, good news for Salford fans after all the turmoil, onwards and upwards.

If Salford would have won, does Mr Beaumont comment? unlikely.

The takeover went through a week ago, the RFL in the interests of the integrity of the game could and should have handled this better regardless of anything else, a postponement to a later date perhaps, it's not rocket science.

Can saints declare? beyond embarrassing this, any Salford fans who bought tickets for this should be reimbursed a refund.

Salford and the RFL are both culpable in this sorry mess and does more damage to an already ailing sport, not a good look at all.

Not sure why Salford can't name the same squad as last week if the same regulations apply this week, the circus continues.

All debts cleared, it's rags to riches for Salford and I think they're long suffering fans deserve it.

Hopefully this Salford side stays together, Marsters and Mcdonald together looks a fantastic pairing tbf.

Salford have been shuffling the furniture around on the titanic for too long, whole club needs a complete reset from top to bottom, probably in the championship, as a side note, will be interesting to see if Rowley sticks around, he's been possibly let down more than anyone connected with the club.

Real shame for the fans and "shareholders" who have been led on royally down the garden path, a magnificent example of how not to run either a SL club or a business.

Salford has a great heritage over the past century, the original red devils, for the sake of the club and putting personal enmity against Salford to one side, let's hope the club is put on a better financial footing in the next few months, a competitive Salford on and off the pitch, whats not to like.

Lindop, Thompson, Bentham.

Salford will be heading back to Pendleton church again at this rate, regardless of a stadium deal, the bigger picture in reality is that they need a wealthy benefactor.

I think what Salford have requested will be rejected and understandably so, it's like applying for a pay day loan without any assurances.

Bit of a circus off the pitch at Salford, which is a shame as it just undermines everything that the coach is trying to build, something has to give.

Nailed it there, the Rangi Chase of his era, Ken was a great player.

Sangare to Salford, clearly Rowley believes that there is a player in there, also the addition of Chris Hill should improve Sangare, I think Salford have made a couple of shrewd moves so far tbf, adding some depth also to the backs with Marsters.

Salford appear to be in very good hands off the pitch with the stadium deal and Rowley staying beyond next year, a rebuild should be quite a seamless one in 2 years time given the club's progress, off the pitch as well as on it.

Joe Bullock to Salford on a permanent deal along with Hill and Sangare according to reports, nothing as yet announced by the club though.

Rowley could have his pick of almost any coaching job in the SL so for him to be staying on at Salford in a different role suggests maybe the club is brewing something very interesting and attractive.
