Pev I think the main sticking point IMO is that people are saying he should go now based on the teams prior performance and their wish for him to be removed from the coaching post. How many players do with have "go off sick" when injured for months on end and you don't hear the same comments. The guy has only been off a month or so.
JW is known for his loyalty. SM has become ill due to the demands of the job and somewhat from the disgusting behaviour of some of our fans. I'm glad JW isn't sticking the boot in and is remaining loyal to SM in this situation.


Saying that once he's well enough get him sacked

I said exactly this to one of the contract managers at work as soon as McRea went on sick leave, ive seen this happen so many times in the industry i work in, imo its the only way McRea can get out of the Willows because Salford wouldn't have paid him off thats for sure.

You HAVE to be a Security guard.

You can't even spell the poor blokes name right.

Matey if your even employed i guarante i double your yearly salary. I'm a site manager for a big construction company, previously a bricklayer, spelling isn't my strong point but how does that determine what job i do you CLOWN.

Pal you have dropped in on a thread and responded with limited knowledge of the situation. If you knew what I know and others you may have a completely different opinion on the matter. But what I do know isn't for this forum.

The compassion I have right now is first and foremost with Salford City Reds.

[iI hope Mr McRae gets well soon of course we all do if were honest!

His contract is up at the end of this season and I for one don't expect to see Shaun in charge next season but that does not mean to say he will no longer be at the club.

I spoke to a guy only last week and he said he had seen a chap that looked very much like Bomber in Egypt recently but he did not go up and ask him to make sure.

Anyway since his absense the Reds have done OK and at the end of the day it's the club that matters and not one person.

Plus we need to get the franchise nod in July and then we can move to Barton next season knowing we will be in the top flight for at least another three years, and then anything is possible..

COME ON SALFORD CITY REDS....

Oh god.

Yet ANOTHER poster on the internet that claims to have all the insider info on the low downs and secret stuff behind the scenes


Let me guess.

Daniel Holdsworth once knew someone called Steven and Iafeta Paleaaesina once owned a dog called Bonzo?

note to BP
"Civil service would be 6 months full pay then 6 months half pay, but they will encourage you to retire on ill-health and with a pension."

How I "love" mail readers. I cannot comment on this board as this is monitored but chat to me some time at a game. Very very inaccurate.

We have no idea what is really going on with the situation, whether SM is really that ill, whether the Club are happy for him to take that route out for the rest of the year, etc.

As long as he is kept away from the first XIII until his contract expires, who cares?

After 'completing' his six month on full pay he can not come back to work for a couple of days and it all start again, as full pay sick leave. He would receive half pay for a further six months. I have to agree with your premise that it is still a system widely open to abuse but your point is factually incorrect mate.

only going off my time there upto the mid 90's

I know that I didn't say he could.

Not you Pev, the other lad (SalfordSlim).

Think that was in response to me BP. Actually I've just checked with my mate & I mustn't had wires crossed as he confirmed he went onto half pay. He reckons that previously people did get round the ruling by popping back into work for a couple of days but the rules were changed as people were abusing the system. Therefore, I apologise for my inaccuracies.



In my defence I did find that HR "moved the goalposts" to suit whilst I worked for the Council so I'm pleading mitigation!

That's HR as in Human Resources and not HillbillyRed before anyone points it out!

No problem mate. I know because I had my Back broken at work!

didn't it become a rolling period over so many years I think 3 but not sure, mind you when I worked for a certain bank, I went in one day said my wrist felt sore (no giggling at the back) and was promply sent home on full pay for 7 months until they could be certain I didn't have RSI. They had just been caned for £3m in court costs appealing the award of £60,000 to 5 staff with RSI, cheaper to have paid, plus it didn't appear on my sick record not that i had one either, they even sent me on an all expenses paid training trip to London.

todays Mirror says Sean is going to talk to Reds bosses about his future this week !!!

Yes and his agent David Howes says that he wants to resume his job at the Willows. It also says despite another sick note for a further month it doesn't mean he won't be back sooner and he wants to take charge of the team again.

Considering the stress it mentions in the newspaper do you think it's wise for him to step back into a high pressure job? Thoughts???

If he thought the abuse he got previously was bad, he'll be in for a shock if he takes the team over again.

Especially if that team starts losing!
