We all know SM is not up for the job and should be relieved of his duties. The only thing stopping JW doing this is finance. However a great revenue for the club is the attendances, if we vote with our feet and do not go through the turn styles obviously our club will begin to lose a lot of money(money we as a club cannot afford to lose). This may force JW to act and sack SM, to make our voice heard further i believe we turn up to the ground and protest outside with banners such as "Love Salford Hate Mcrea act now" (although hate may be a bit strong). This sounds quite contradicting saying we cannot afford sack him but i think the club needs the revenue which will equate to more than what is left of SM contract surely?

Sensible thoughts???

Player power should have been nipped in the bud when we were achieving more than the sum of the parts under Harrison.

There needs to be a complete change in culture from top to bottom with unacceptable levels of performance not accepted in any area of the club.

Specifically on the rugby side all roles should be under scrutiny be that player, coach or Director of Rugby or Football or whatever title Steve Simms has.

another analogy, like watching the sinking of the Graf Spee, the world watches on as Salford try and maneuver a way out of the mire, does the ship go down with its coach or does the coach walk away?

The board cant afford to sack him ......Can the board afford to keep him.

If Salford have another season like the last three. Will other clubs want us in the super league.

Lets be honest crouds are going down hill and we dont take many fans to away games as it is. So we dont take any revenue to other clubs. So why would they want us in.

Who wants to go and see us ship 50 plus points every away trip. Pay good money to see a poor performance every game.

People will talk with there feet anyway and stay away.

Can't answer this question of the top of my head, but I regard this man as the best coach at the club. It's about time we put him in the job and get him to tutor Alan Hunte. Simms and Hunte backed up by Vievers and Alker, who could also takeover Hunte's U20s duties, would be a sensible answer to McRae/no money to pay him off situation. Also, it's Simms' team as he signed the players, so I'd like to believe he believes the team.

Between Simms, Hunte, Veivers, Alker and Highton there must be enough knowledge and experience to coach the first team and the U20's, surely?

McRae on gardening leave, even if it has to be on full pay, might well be a forward step?
