Overview

  • The club’s accounts remain frozen and a HMRC winding-up petition hearing is scheduled for September 3
  • Salford have sold 13 players this season, most recently captain Ryan Brierley and prop Jack Ormondroyd, to raise funds for creditors
  • Unpaid insurance, coach travel and kit laundry bills have disrupted training and matchday preparations
  • The Rugby Football League approved an exemption to exceed loan limits and Salford signed Leeds Rhinos duo Riley Lumb and Ben Littlewood
  • Unpaid staff wages and salary-cap sanctions heighten the risk that Salford may be unable to field a full squad for upcoming fixtures
