Trust me, I know for a fact Widnes have been told to prepare, my understanding is Fax have too.
I also know for a fact they are retracting contract offers to players they wanted for next year.
It is also pretty well known (even players have put it on facebook) that they have had their club cars taken away.
But I aint even mentioned a clubs name, never mind administration.
If I was talking about Celtic the non statement put out by your website is hardly proof that they are not struggling is it?
I might release a statement saying I have a 14" penis and turned down a night with all 5 of the Spice Girls, you will never know if I am lying or telling the truth
Nothing that you have said reveals a club in crisis. It merely negative spin.
For example telling Widnes and Fax to prepare for SL is something they should be doing anyway as part of franchise negotiations. Personally I think these two clubs would be most likely to replace Salford and Wakefield, who are imo the two weakest SL franchises and have so far failed to deliver on their initial franchise promises.
Many clubs retract contract offers. For example Saints offered a contract to Gareth Carvel, last year but withdrew it after Hull wanted a transfer fee. Sometimes clubs offer contracts to players at other clubs as a way of trying to get the other clubs to up their offers. Thereby reducing that clubs spending ability.
Occasionally a club may make an offer to a player as a safety net in case their primary target decides they dont want to join the club.
Cars are usually provided to players via sponsorship agreements. The clubs themselves dont buy the cars. If players are having to return cars this could be indicative of a Vehicle sponsorship coming to an end. This could mean a better sponsorship has been agreed elsewhere or just that the sponsors are having to save money. This second option wouldnt surprise me considering that many car companies and dealerships are going to the wall.
