That’s not what BBC Sport is saying. Apparently the clubs have agreed to the advance of £500,000.

I hope the clubs have put conditions on that advance money, otherwise the Red Devils will sign another player they can't afford.

Great article

I have to admit to not being keen on the Myler appointment I couldn't understand it until things started to unfold and the reasoning behind it became clear. However now I have to eat my words because instead of an untried ex player of dubious character (my words I'm afraid) I find myself buoyed by his talking of connecting with the fans, building again and getting the soul back in the club. What's more, now he's been here a few months it's become obvious that he walks what he talks and his claims actually start to ring true. He'll make the tough decisions and doesn't seems to harbour the sentimental retentions and old pals act that has troubled our club in the past. We have hung onto 'nice guys' far too long.

To be fair to Myler even without the investment connections I thought the reaction to his ‘inexperience’ in that type of role was a bit over the top anyways. I think we all expected a Brian Noble type character with decades of experience when the role was first mentioned but a lot of clubs have gone for not long retired players in similar roles. Fitzpatrick and Radlinski spring to mind there’s probably more. Myler comes across as a man who knows what makes a successful environment and that’s exactly what we needed.

Regarding Salford.

I'm not sure what the rules and regulations are around situations such as these, but I wonder if it would be circumspect for a two point penalty deduction to be imposed? There are usually sanctions imposed if a club enters administration, and whilst that isn't the case here, there has to be some form of deterrent applied or what's to stop any of the other clubs asking for an advance.

Whatever the underlying reasons for the situation, Salford have dug themselves into a hole of their own making and/or mismanagement and there should be a price to pay of some kind I would have surmised.
