and I suppose if they back him and he doesnt hit reasonable performance targets then he's to balme? Or would it still be the club to blame for dangling him a carrot all that time ago ? The club cant win either way, MP wont look bad either way, thats why I think he came in so early an slated the club so publically. If he goes, he's made the reasons's why he's leaving clear and who can blame him... If he stays, and doesnt hit reasonable target's who can blame him because he was mislead.

As Ive said the players ive spoken to have made it clear he's unhappy, and doesnt want to be there, and we can all say (with a degree of hohnesty) who can blame him, he has a meeting with the board who are also unhappy...

So much drama but the board are largely to blame for this mess, Salford wont attract a decent established coach until things drastically change. Other wise its unknown - unproven - Shaun Mcrae types...

No it's more likely that people ( mostly women ) have realised that American Football is a load of bollox , and are taking their kids to watch something resembling a real sport , one where you don't have to be a freak of nature to actually play it

Plus it is still from their own town/city , unlike your Leigh , Salford analogy , perhaps if Leigh still had a semi pro football club playing at the stadium that was actually built for it , people would have been going to watch them

You lot will be okay anyway , you'll be able to watch Sale next winter

According to Mr Pete Scholes, Simms is the cancer the cancer in club and he needs taking out by the throat. That view is not just from the fans, but from players and coaching staff alike past and present. He's an Aussie who sponges of the club. Are we happy to take that? Because from where i'm standing it seems like we're happy, Mr no bad word against him Wilkinson is always right, forget about about the countless head coaches we've had they're all .

I predict we will not be here in 3 years, we'll be gone. Anyone who thinks different are mugs. In this part of the world no one cares about RL never mind sh*t RL. We only have ourselves to blame.[urlRIP SALFORD RLFC[/url

PS - Our kids Simms and Tarry out banner was spot on.

American Football is still by far and away the most popular sport viewer/attendance/participation wise in the US. Are you suggesting then that these numbers are falling? is there any evidence of that?

Perhaps using Leigh and Salford as examples wasn't the best, even though i'm sure there have been Leigh fans on here who mention they attend our games on occasion. But seeing as you mention same town/city, maybe mentioning Leigh and Wigan would be more appropriate

College football has a bigger spectator base in the States than NFL, from speaking to my ex in-laws over there many people feel less and less affiliation to the NFL teams because the owners are more interested in profits than the fans where as college football is more a community thing.

Yes but in 20 years time football will have overtaken it
