Championship outfit Widnes Vikings have confirmed that after the collapse of a takeover bid, they are unable to pay their players and staff.
The club are also on the verge of falling into administration if they are unable to secure major investment by Monday.
Players and staff will meet tomorrow to discuss the significant cash-flow gap, which has the potential to send the club into liquidation if it’s unable to be resolved.

WIDNES ON THE VERGE OF ADMINISTRATION
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Surely the RFL should step in and help like they did with Bradford many times

Did make me think maybe Koucash steps in and relocates them to Liverpool for his new club.ancientnloyal wrote: ↑Wed Feb 20, 2019 9:35 am They’re a big club Widnes. Hope they get out of it!

The good doctor was interested in Widnes but couldn’t do a deal,as for Liverpool rugby club pie in the sky nonsense.
I do hope Widnes get out of this,truth is all club are seemingly reliant on a single benefactor,perhaps bar Leeds and Wire,this can happen to any club when the money gets cut off it’s frightening way to run a sport.
