Very worrying times for RL at the moment, still no new TV deal and a few clubs having stadium issues. Not what we need during a pandemic and recession.
Interesting read and sounds pretty much like our situation, especially this;
“However, we must also look at extending our tenancy at the AJ Bell stadium, safeguarding our future at our ground in the City of Salford, regardless of ownership. We appreciate the council stating their ‘reassurance for commitments for Salford Red Devils’ upon any sale.
“Our current tenancy agreement is simply unsustainable for the club and we have been seeking a new deal on terms that we can afford. CosCos have supported the club with rental payment arrangements in recent seasons, we hope that we can strike a new agreement that allows both parties a mutually sustainable level.”
This is all going to end in tears, hope it’s not mine, I’ve shed enough over the years. Just a thought, can’t the Council ask for the SMC’s books, do an appraisal for any wrong doing regards the debt mountain? Wilf and Mrs B would do free gratis, I’m sure
