did i read we have another vote later this week re cap/quota as rfl have now realised with limited purchasers no way will £800k target be reached

That is what I have read too so that it is my understanding as well - it has also just been repeated in Total RL.

I think the proposal to be considered and/or approved is that at the meeting this week the clubs will agree to a further 2 week window for those clubs still with salary cap space - understood to be Wakefield, Castleford, Hull and Leigh - to reach agreement with Salford for the signing of Salford's players up to the value of their respective salary caps. At the end of the 2 week period the supermarket sweep starts in earnest with a salary cap dispensation to all clubs to sign the remaining Salford players until Salford reach their RL imposed spending limit based upon the salaries of the residue of their squad still remaining.

2 points.

Salford are saying that a modest offer from one of the 4 clubs currently with space on their spending cap has been made for one of their leading players. Don't know who but I bet it involves Sneyd and, if it is, then it is likely to be us or those lovely cheeky chappies from Kingston. The 'offer' is however considered by Salford to be derisory. Welcome to the big, bad and some would say unpleasant world of business and the principle of 'a buyers market'

Secondly, the busy little beavers that populate the Red Devils Fans Forum genuinely believe that there will be a takeover announcement made tomorrow, Monday. The logic is that the buy out will make all of the above irrelevant because the new funding will keep them afloat and enable them to waive a huge 2 fingers at RL, RL journalists, Salford City Council, supporters from all other clubs - except Keighley - Mother Theresa and Zebadee from the Magic Roundabout (by goodness do they hate him and blame the spring coiled one for everything that has befallen their great club).

The buy out will also crucially enable them to keep all their star players and to even add a few more (don't ask me where from) and to challenge Wigan and KR for honours at the top end of SL in the coming season and, basically, forever.

They are either privy to information that no one else has been able to glean or they are more delusional that a certain historical Austrian corporal.

let's see what tomorrow brings, or doesn't.

I hope we have a back up plan if we are banking on Sneyd, we could end up starting the season with no other halfback than O’Brien and Macnamara

I'm not worried in the slightest. We'll make the right move when it's available. Making a move just for the sake of it would likely be detrimental.

Well those were the options for most of last year (well O’Brien mainly) and we did ok

Is ok good enough Col?

I have it on very good authority that Salford had a media day planned for tomorrow but this has now been postponed with no new date given.

No club investment or take over has been announced today (so far) despite this being 'the day' identified by their CEO for it to happen.

SL club owners to meet tomorrow to set out plans for divvying-up the Salford squad.

I have it on nothing more than hearsay that Sneyd was seen at the LSV over last weekend - very revealing if at all true.

Clubs are saying Salford are not responding to offers made for their players.

I sense its all heads in the sand at Salford Central - the club not the train station - and a refusal by the club to accept the enormity of the crisis that is befalling them.

Unless there is a hugely positive announcement from them in the hours remaining tonight I fear that the extra days that they are seeking to get the take-over over the line will not be afforded to them and what increasingly appears to be nothing more than dilly-dallying rather than concrete take over talks will be brought abruptly to an end by decisions made by RL Commercial representatives who now effectively control Salford's purse strings.

The grains of sand appear to be fast running out for something positive to happen for Salford and to save them from their current predicament.

Money is the key and they still have not got any.

@M_Shaw1

Salford have sent the following note to the media.

"Following discussion, to protect our players in the Club's current situation and ongoing investment negotiations, the Club and RL Commerical had decided to cancel any press attendance at tomorrow's media day."

So a media day without any media! Sounds very much like normal service at SRD

Well I’d deffo be happy with the same season again

Good for you.
