A winding-up petition filed against troubled rugby league side Salford Red Devils is set to be heard in court for a fifth time tomorrow.
The Red Devils are set to appear in front of the high court tomorrow as their financial struggles continue, with the 152-year-old club staring liquidation in the face.
The petition was initially adjourned in June after the club said they were confident of attaining a bridging loan to pay a tax bill to His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.
Their 2025 season was filled with troubles on and off the pitch, including mass player exodus, late wage payments and heavy defeats.
Salford dropped to 15th in this year’s IMG ratings. The ratings are based on a set of criteria that include fan engagement, financial stability, community impact, stadium facilities, and on-field performances.
This has led to the club losing their Super League status and being dropped down to the Championship with the Bradford Bulls taking their place.
Due to this, head coach Paul Rowley left the club to join St Helens, along with numerous player departures, leaving the club with a thin squad and doubts about whether the club will be liquidated.
Three weeks ago, the club failed to agree on a settlement that would’ve seen the case dismissed.
Salford mayor Paul Dennett and Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham have criticised the decision to give the owners more time to find a solution, as this leaves the fans of the club unaware of the current financial drama.
