| This probably wont sit pretty with many on here but it needs addressing. Last nights comment by the doc on twitter was down right unprofessional and childish. Last season on more than a few occasions he made my blood boil by airing his dirty laundry in public, but that last night's comment was pretty pathetic. The man at the helm of our club who should be leading by example, what message is he giving out by going public every time we taste defeat? The man needs to control his emotions as this time its on SKY Sports and is frankly a further embarrassment to the performance. We need stability and positivity at times like this get a grip Marwan.

| It was a good job Churchill was in charge after GB`s first defeat in France in 1940.

He'd only had the gig a couple of weeks, most new leaders win their first effort but Churchill was dropped in it ever so slightly by Neville.

I disagree with you.
As an example,the son of the over-rated ex manager at Old Trafford,the one who assaulted his ex-wife,is employed by the owner of a soccer club who really demonstrated how it should be done.( Their supporters didn't seem to whinge)

| Ordinarily I’d be asking the same question but realistically the club is on life-support from Marwan. He can do what he wants.

I’m not into it, no. I’m certainly not into fans tucking into players on social media after just two matches. But Salford is a club so on its ar =#000000se, so bereft of any future without Koukash, that I wouldn’t want to drive him away. So I’m turning the other cheek.

Its hardly had a positive impact on results though has it? Majority of supporters may agree with everything he is saying but it must affect the credibility of the club and impact on trying to attract quality players.

| The comment may snooker his hopes of increasing the gate: for every comment I have received form those workmates who watched the match, I've has 2-3 re the comment. Some of thses I was hoping to get to a match: why should they bother if the owner is giving up?

| I'm with Chico on this. I wish he'd shut the hell up a lot of the time but what can you do. I think he's got the best intentions at heart, he just goes about them in the wrong ways.

| The silence is deafening , i'm not surprised he's totally frustrated , we all are !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But its his money and hes not used to coming second best , after Sat we all had increased expectations only to have them shattered , that defeat has put us back months off the field , fan base etc etc , we need to hear from him and quick because saying nothing is saying everything im afraid and that would be a disaster !

| I support Wakefield and until very recently we were a very similar club to Salford - perhaps we were a little better on the pitch (just) quite bit worse off it.
Now I 'm not here to boast, I am fully aware of our place in the food chain and how quickly the wheels could fall off our wagon.
However there has always been one principle or method or whatever you want to call it that we seem to have stood by since we arrived in SL - that's avoiding big name signings - mainly I confess because we have never had any money but also because of a deep mistrust of "name" players by both fans and the club.
We have had a few well known players but most were past their best or in some way damaged with the possible exception of Solomona. The rest were trawled from A teams, top academies, second grade Aussies and National League players. With very few exceptions they have done us proud and most became better player and some went right to the very top after making their names with us. We have not done so well with our own Academy but rather like the first team they have mainly been teams of leftovers.
Anyway my point is that IMHO this is how Salford should go. Grow a team - however unlike us you have the luxury of keeping the players you create and adding that bit of sparkle when you can. I so envy you this, we will never build a winning team because the vultures will pick at us every time we get near.
It will take a while and won't suit the Docs personality but it's the only way IMHO. Big name players suit clubs like Saints who have a winning culture, you need to build the culture first.
Finally get a decent Coach - that has to be the first step.

For the record, he hasn't said that he's packing anything in...
Last night, I said "I've had enough", left my seat and headed for the car
I was extremely pi$$ed at what I was watching but had only had enough of watching anymore, never in my head was I walking away completely..
The mad Marwan really should've clarified afterwards but instead has left all and sundry to gossip and doom monger

| There's a time and a place,
Last year when E McManus had a rant the people and Saints players sat up and listened due to his stature in the game and town.
Any line of work would be the same , if my long standing boss kicked off I'd probably take notice, but if some new upstart came in and started ranting I'd just think he has a knob.
Second game of the season after a decent performance last week is probably not the time to spit the dummy

This is his 3rd full season in charge though, so it's not like he's only been here 5 minutes.
And at the end of the day, he is the boss! How long he's been there for is totally irrelevant! He calls the shots!
Quote ="yogi bear"Second game of the season after a decent performance last week is probably not the time to spit the dummy'"
Totally agree with that though.
People need to chill the eff out!

| Problem is it's been an historically fragile situation following Salford and it 's quite easy to break people's spirits. It's like a wound that won't heal despite paying top dollar for the best medical treatment.

| Perhaps the following tweet from
@Ryano_ActionMan might also go someway to answer his feelings.
"@Drmar Told you Harris is a fat useless lying shi-t coach f--ktard.
Maybe you Should Send Him To Work With Your Buddies At ISIS"
The last sentence came on the same night a presentation was made to the late Alan Hennings children and it's absolutely unbelievable.
I know it's been reported to twitter and I've forwarded it via email to the RFL.
I just hope the person responsible is made accountable for this.
