A very thorough and fair summary of the game as it stands.I maintain it was farcical to expect skint owners to bail Salford out.The buzzards were hovering looking for bargains.I am not sure on the atest fine details are preferred bidders negotiating with the rfl or Saford .Who decides wheer players go rfl or salford. rfl is also skint they have arranged ashes series but that yield wont go far. Will a struggling sky reduce our payment next time round Can we find other partners Perhaps the muted takeover by the nrl is the way forward as they have the appropiate negotiating/marketing skills The pie master wants a bigger slice seems the only way will be fewer teams at the top level Wilkin says 8 teams thats not from his own deductions is he pushing someones agenda

[quote="satanicmills":1kh0xusn].....Who decides wheer players go rfl or salford.....[/quote:1kh0xusn] ...or the players themselves? Surely it should be the last. Outside forces may try to sway them but ultimately they will choose for themselves after weighing up all options. That could, for players with long, generous contracts, persuade them to thumb their nose bloody-mindedly to all parties - though that might be unwise given Salford's reported plight! Welcome, Bumper, Bongser has enjoyed your missives to date. Keep 'em comin'.

Players will leave, if they don't then Salford folds and their contracts are void.

There would have to be something very wrong with UK employment law, if you could make a player move to Hull.

There appears to be something very deluded about Salford and their fans. They spent money that was tentatively offered but never received, the electronic advertising hoarding was going to make them rich, and a white knight was going to ride over the hill. Last night the club announced the sale was on, and the fans are still clinging to a deal being brokered before the sale starts in earnest.
