[quote="CarlB":35q2yu8j]Some sad reports out that Salford's plight is worsening. Don't think their imminent warm weather training departure will Garner sympathy with fellow clubs. It all adds up. We wouldn't have released Abdull without an immediate turnaround. Feel it for Salford.[/quote:35q2yu8j] The warm weather training is a joke, you're looking at what at least £1k a head for a week and with all the coaches, physios and media staff that could easily be £40k Also its season ticket and new shirt sale time so surely a peak of income for them given they are keen to tell us they make little to nothing on gameplay (due to renting the ground) What exactly did IMG review on their finances?

Abdull has been advised to retire due to the severity of his knee problem.

That's what they will be telling you!

[quote="RockNRolla":3m5jp4iu]Abdull has been advised to retire due to the severity of his knee problem.[/quote:3m5jp4iu] If that’s true it’s hardly the embarrassment for the club people are making out. It was always a risk given his injury record but let’s not forget it didn’t seem to stop us chasing other halfback targets it’s not like we put all our eggs in that basket, we announced Abdul way before we went for Lam and Sailor etc. It’s just desperately unlucky for Jordan, but if that’s the case you’d imagine they might be insurance and stuff that also might come into play. It does put us in an awkward situation though having to wait on what might or might not happen with Salfords finances and a player that might not fancy the move anyway dictating if we start the season a playmaker down. I’m sure the Cust signing was likely made with an eye on the Abdul situation also.

[quote="DSJ1983"]If that’s true it’s hardly the embarrassment for the club people are making out. Exactly. As usual people quickly jump to conclusions.

Would be very surprised if Sneyd comes back. He left for 2 main reasons 1. To be near his family which Leigh are. 2. 3 year contract I think he will go to Leigh as Beaumont will match whatever Hull offer just to stick 2 fingers up to us. Also dont like players going back plus snyed getting on now so would be a big risk. Other thing Syned and Sezer very similar players. Remember Leeds with Sezer & Austin they were an awfull pairing because they both wanted to organise the team and were both pretty slow. We should wait for other options
