Salford Red Devils have once again failed to pay their players and staff on time for the second consecutive month.
The club, which has been struggling financially for some time now, issued a statement expressing frustration with their new owners, stating "the payroll wasn't delivered this morning as scheduled, despite assurances." The team has been facing salary cap sanctions, limiting their player selections, and has also been dealing with a growing list of injuries.
Despite their challenges, Salford managed to secure their first league win of the season against Huddersfield Giants in March.
However, their squad has continued to dwindle with star players like Marc Sneyd, Brad Singleton, and Tim Lafai leaving the club in recent weeks.
Head coach Paul Rowley revealed that the team is now down to just 15 players for their upcoming match against Wigan, with new loan signing George Hill joining the squad.
The ongoing financial crisis has severely impacted Salford's ability to compete effectively in the Super League.
With players not being paid on time and the departure of key players, the club's options have become increasingly limited.
Despite their efforts to overcome these challenges, Salford continues to struggle both on and off the field.
The situation at Salford Red Devils serves as a reminder of the financial difficulties faced by many sports clubs, particularly in challenging times.
The club's statement and their ongoing struggles highlight the importance of stable financial management in maintaining a successful and competitive team.
As Salford Red Devils navigate through their financial crisis, the future remains uncertain for the Super League side.
