Salford Red Devils Allowed to Play After Second HMRC Winding-Up Adjournment

Salford Red Devils have been granted a further adjournment in their winding-up petition filed by HMRC over unpaid debts exceeding £700,000, allowing them to complete their remaining fixtures in the 2025 Super League season. The club, which is over £5 million in debt, has faced a difficult year marked by financial troubles, a mass player exodus, late wage payments, and heavy defeats, contrasting sharply with their successful 2024 campaign. Despite promises of a multi-million pound bridging loan to clear immediate debts, the loan has yet to materialize, raising uncertainty about the club's long-term financial stability. The adjournment reflects ongoing efforts behind the scenes to secure the club's future, with the court's decision seen as a vital step forward amid turbulent times. Salford's ownership has expressed gratitude to the courts and supporters, encouraging fans to back the team as they approach the season's final games. However, the club remains at risk of liquidation or administration if financial solutions are not found, potentially jeopardizing their Super League status for 2026.
