Overview

• The court granted a further delay to the HMRC winding‑up petition, with the next hearing reported for 29 October.
• Salford said the decision allows them to complete the remainder of their 2025 fixtures.
• The petition concerns unpaid bills reported at over £700,000, following earlier reports that cited around £500,000.
• The club’s cash‑flow crisis has persisted since a February takeover by a Dario Berta‑led consortium, with a promised bridging loan yet to materialise as accounts remain frozen and operations lean on WeDo Finance.
• The RFL imposed a £1.2m sustainability salary cap that contributed to player exits, and local leaders sought assurances on finishing the season, including a guarantee to Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham.
