The head coach of Salford Red Devils, Paul Rowley, admitted that it was a “difficult” situation at the club as their financial crisis was deepening, speaking after their defeat against Hull FC
The troubles among Salford fans have been increasing for several months with the future of the club in danger.
In February, a consortium led by the businessman Dario Berta bought the club, after being placed under a sustainability salary of 1.2 million pounds sterling by the RFL, with a series of players leaving the club in the following months, including Captain Ryan Brierley.

A recent declaration of the Rugby Football League (RFL) qualified the financial problems of Salford as “damage and draining for sport”, insisting that the “only alternative” to the approval of a redemption of property earlier this year was the “very likely and immediate disappearance of the club”.
Consortium members, Saia Kailahi and Curtiz Brown, attended the Salford matches.
Salford also relied on the external financing of Wedo Finance while their accounts remain frozen, while last month, they were struck by a liquidation petition with a adjourned audience until September 3.
However, in response to the growing uncertainty surrounding the club and after a defeat of 80-6 against the Hull FC on the weekend during which Salford had to rely on additional players from the whole competition since 13 players left during the season, the club published an insistent statement that they “will not do”.
“Despite the recent setbacks, the club is creating a new team to stabilize operations in the future, in parallel with the guarantee of the financing of bridges which restores immediate financial stability and lays the foundations for a sustainable future,” he said.
“This marks a turning point and underlines the long -term commitment of the consortium towards the Red Devils.”
When he was contacted, the RFL said he had no additional comments for the declaration published on Friday.
