Dec 3 - Salford Red Devils, a 152-year-old rugby league club who finished last in the Super League after a financially troubled campaign, have been liquidated by the high court due to outstanding debts, the club said on Wednesday.

Despite a takeover by a consortium led by Swiss businessman Dario Berta this year, the club struggled to pay wages on time, faced a player exodus and lost 24 of their 27 matches in the Super League as they were relegated to the Championship.
