Quote ="Duckman"Thats what I thought, cheers Mat. This is why I'd like a full press release from thre rfl explaining everything that happened in transparent detail, because the drift of rl collective memory now seem to run along the lines of the rfl gave us a blank cheque out of their own pockets and an unending credit line, so therefore with rlfan logic "why are the rfl not doing the same for Salford....etc etc" thats not my memory of the situation, we had a lot of rfl intervention (good and bad), but like you say the rfl actually ended up some cash down but asset up so will probably end up about level or in profit in the medium to long term.
The same set of circumstance does not apply, but I do hope the RFL and other clubs do everything they can do in this situation to help Salford. And like you say, helping Salford would seem a better use for the windfall of not paying us £500k, or whatever it is, rather than handing it out as a sweetner to the other clubs.'"
I agree that the sky money would be better off used this way providing Salford can show it wouldnt be swallowed up and they would be back in the same position in 12 months.
With the current climate i feel this may happen to more clubs over the coming years.
