2008 season with the personel we had we should of hammered every team in that league, we won it but only just got humiliated off Celtic in semi. Well who's to blame for the players brought in any self worthy coach would of said I want this or that player. The man is an absolute con he admits that he doesn't have the answers to get the team to win, NO but goes on sky and tells them how to bleeding win. Look at john kear at wakey when he took over they was dead and buried to relegation in a far worse state than we was when eddie bomber waring took over and look what he did. When is the next forever reds meeting I'm going to outright ask players what they think of SM and let's see their response!!!!!

SM out now, if he's here next year my seaon ticket will not be renewed!!

Sorry to lose you as he will be there.

As has been put : who do you think we can get who will accept this criticism. Nowt to play for, many kids exposed, several players know they're going (but cannot be as their no 1 ... except the horse).

How mr macrae is still in a job baffles me!!fed up of having arguements on here with pro macrae supporters!any other club would of got rid long ago! he doesnt give 2 f**ks about the club and is the best talker in the game,still i think of what a shocking decision it was to award him a 4 1/2 year contact!!we have not gone forward one bit as a club with him at the healm END OF!!!

I'm not McRae's biggest fan but nor am I desperate for us to get rid of him. I think we've sone as expected this year (finished in the bottom three) and very much doubt whether any other coach could've taken us any further.

I can understand fans' frustrations at the recent drubbings we've endured but with nothing to play for, several key injuries, several players leaving and lots of youngsters playing, it's no surprise.

I think it would be daft to get rid of McRae now (or even to blame him fully for our recent poor results) but agree that next year will be a real test of his ability as a coach.

What does really concern me about McRae, as mentioned above, is the way he talks about the team/club/fans in interviews - it's almost identical to Gary Megson when he was at Wanderers and ultimately led to his downfall. I just wish McRae would show more passion, loyality and/or dedication to the Reds.

GMR said there were about 100 Salford fans at Hudds I'm really surprised there were so many, its at the point now where you hope we can keep a score below 50 nevermind go to the match with the daft notion if the wind is blowing the right way and we play brilliantly and the opposition don't turn up maybe just maybe we might just lose.

As I said previously they wouldn't know what proffessionalism was if it hit them on the head, One game to go and at least most of the deadwood will be cast adrift, and good riddance !

One match to go with all to play for us and Les Cats battle it out for the big wooden one !! Inspirational...

there were more than 100 fans today,the least we have took all season was to hull fc where there was about 70 there,today we had nearer 300,and fair play to every single one there,,,we weren't loud and boistourous as there was nothing what so ever to get going over!!But nobody booed ,but simply sat mostly in silence watching what we're used to and why we love salford city reds i guess!!even the players came over and got a half hearted clap lol!!

Don't shoot the messanger its what they said on GMR in fact a small band of traveling fans was placed in front of the about 100 bit.

Be it 100 or 300 I'm mightly impressed great turnout for that shower.

We usually take a decent following to Huddersfield every year so I don't see why you could be surprised at that?

Lets take the positives from the game Matty Smith had a stormer

To be fair I'd say 4-500 there today, although I was (or am) very very drunk!!!!!!

Drunk - 150-200 Max

As the match was totally boring with both teams playing crap I decided to count the number of reds supporters sat around me and got 3981/2 including Ace it in his Suit very smart, didn't know courts sat on a Sunday

The result was what I expected. The performance was disappointing to say the least. The only positive I can take is that only three or four of that seventeen will be in the first choice seventeen for next year.

We listened to Shaun MacRae on Radio Manchester on the way home. I admire him for not criticising his players in the media, but there my admiration stops I'm afraid. I may be wrong, but I think we lack structures and systems on the pitch. Far too often we seem short of ideas. Our kicking game has not developed at all this season. I can think of few players who have improved or developed during this season, but I can think of a few who appear to have gone backwards.

I think our coach is responsible for our performances on the pitch and they have not been satisfactory. I think the coach is the most important person at a club and I hope that next season's coach, whoever he is, can bring the best out of the squad being assembled. At the moment I am pessimistic.

[iDo you honestly think Salford City Reds will sack Shaun McRae?


In my opinion for what it's worth once the club find out if we are to be rewarded with another franchise then and only then will chages be made off the field.

I can see Mr Simms being moved upstairs and Mr McRae being made football director and then after loads of speculation and rumor the one and only Mr Ian Millward being brought to the club.

But for the time being we must all sit back and wait for July 2011 before any chages if any will take place.

On a serious note I hope my predictions don't come about but for the time being nothing changes being a Salford City Reds fan.

For me the worst thing Mcrae has done is not the results but the fact that last year Ratchford and Adamson were knocking on the international door and they have both gone backwards this season, that has to be blamed on the coaching, really hope he doesnt do the same to Broughton

I am pi$$ed off with people saying it will be different next year when he has HIS team.
Well please tell me who signed the majority of the players on display yesterday ?
One man rugby, zero tackling technique, no kicking game clueless in attack the list goes on and on.
The man cannot coach and giving him a load of new players will not change this.
Yes he did win a few things... IN THE PAST
Next year we have a lot of different personalities signing for the club who need a strong leader and motivator, , do you honestly believe McRae is the man for that ?
As for Ian Millward, do me a favour, he is the same as McRae.
When the francise bids are renewed and Salford are again floundering at the bottom, then maybe people will realise what a mistake it has been to keep McRae in charge.
One man for me (and I do not even like him) but he seems to have that certain something... Brian Noble

309 was the official number!

And all credit to them.
That is 2 hours of their life they will never get back, plus the cost as well.
The present shower of $hite do not deserve fans like them.

Totally agree mate - were a decent side these days, playing well, some excellent players and we took less than that to Leeds !!

You can only think,that the powers that be think Mcrae is doing a great job
because If they did not, he would be sacked,we have spent money, not because we wanted to, but because we have had to.Someone once said,in sport If you stand still you go backwards,how far back are we.

we should get rid of Laurel and Hardy aka McRae and Simms and move heaven and earth to get John Kear in - he must be getting pi$$ed off at Wakefield by now - I think we could really achieve under Kear and our new signings for next season - please JW pick up the phone and give JK a ring

Indeed. [url=http://viewtopic.php?f=33&t=454236Because all the Wakefield fans recognise what a marvellous job he's doing over there.[/url

Oh yes, [url=http://viewtopic.php?f=33&t=467796indeed they do.[/url

Well, I was one of the 309 there yesterday and I've gotta be honest, I really enjoyed myself. No, I really did! Sure, I was in a state of delerium following a 5 and a half hour journey from Kent yesterday morning after a night of just 2 hours sleep but I couldn't help but giggle at the entertainment on offer. I mean, we were terrible and had Huddersfield been as clinical as they really should've been if they have any aspirations of winning the comp then we'd have been in for a real hiding. We were simply dire. But, I didn't expect anything else. With so many kids playing in addition to seasoned pro's that I'm simply past caring about, I never expected a competitive game. So why else did I enjoy myself so much? Well, the constant stream of comedy from many prominant supporters was classic. Especially 'Ave it' who was in a decidely dark and funny mood.
Oh look. There were many reasons as to why I enjoyed myself yesterday. The quality of Salford's play, just one of many many reasons to support Salford RL was arguably the only dynamic that failed to entertain. Besides that, good times! =D

Why is it that we should we get rid of Simms?
