Their form comes in contrast to last season when they recorded a fourth-place finish under Paul Rowley and reached the play-offs in an impressive campaign.<\/p>\n

Despite being taken over<\/a> on the eve of the season by a consortium led by Swiss businessman Dario Berta, the club have been beset by problems.<\/p>\n

Wages have been paid late, key players including talismanic scrum-half Marc Sneyd have left, while chief executive Chris Irwin resigned after less than three months in the job.<\/p>\n

In addition, Salford City Council pulled out of negotiations<\/a> with the club over their attempt to buy their Salford Community Stadium home in May.<\/p>\n
