If we hadnt run into difficulties we'd have received that money from the RFL anyway as long as we fulfilled our fixture. It was only the timing of the payments that changed. we basically got the second half of the years monthly sky payments (plus a small amount from the 2013 payments) as two lump sums to fund the two wage bills that came up whilst we were in admin as I understand it. Once the takeover was complete OK started funding the wage bill.'"
Yeah i understand that, sorry i was vague. Im just thinking if Sky money was paid to us in advance purely to see through fixtures... then if Salford go into administration before the start of the season it would be a totally different scenario.. Like with Wakefield & Crusaders. I hope the RFL can help Salford in some way and that it doesnt get to that but what concerns me is other fans presuming the money was just `given` on a plate when that wasnt the case. Whats to say Salfords new owners ( if they get some ) would be prepared to give up sky money over 2 seasons when they're losing money anyway? Very unlikely. Im thanking our lucky stars we even got a new owner at the moment.
