Salford are in the "last chance saloon" after their third court adjournment, a leading sports lawyer has said. The club faces an uncertain future with their financial issues extending into the off-season. The petition was initially served in June before being adjourned again in early September until earlier on Wednesday. "I think Salford have been lucky," Richard Cramer told BBC Sport prior to the club's ownership claiming they had secured new funding. "The strong indication, [and] the fact that this is last chance saloon, is that the courts have applied a very strict timetable going forward. "So rather than listing the next available date, which would have been six to eight weeks away, the courts have applied a two-week extension and effectively by the middle of November it will be back in front of a judge at the winding-up court."
