I like us all don’t know the full facts but as the website as stated, perhaps there are genuine personal reasons and nothing more. I know really unlikely but still we just don’t know.

He clearly wasn’t meant to be for us and we now have to move on. I know were all panicking about nobody wanting the job but are you saying there is no one out there who wants a seat at the top table? We are after all a Super League club for the next 3 years, we have a brand new stadium and all the facilities that come with it, a mid-table squad at present so someone, somewhere is already rubbing their hands at the thought of getting a shot at this.

The other thing is, there’s certain comments on social networking sites that seem to imply that he might not be missed as much internally as externally which is the most important thing.

Get Powell in and have Long / Vievers / Hunte as his back room team. I would take that anyday.

I have nothing positive or optimistic to say about salford rlfc and the men who are incharge of running the financial part of it

The bright light at the end of the tunnel was our big chance and it has now passed us by

Think small and you will be small and eventually disappear

I think its finally sunk in

He must be upset he's refusing to reply to my facebook message

1) Terrible appointment to start with (just speak to people inside the game); surely questions must finally be asked about the people responsible for making these dreadful calls.

2) Pray to god they don't approach Dunemann (again, speak to people inside the game)

3) The really worrying thing: a) if we were dumb enough to overlook credible candidates first time around (Powell, Noble etc), what's the chances of us wising up now?
b) Why would any credible candidate be interested in working for a such a shambolic club?

They've basically said yeah we won't take action against you as long as you keep schtum about us.

We need to vote with our feet, boycott one of the friendlies or protest outside.

"We are after all a Super League club for the next 3 years, we have a brand new stadium and all the facilities that come with it, a mid-table squad at present so someone, somewhere is already rubbing their hands at the thought of getting a shot at this."

NO NO: we were warned that we had to improve and the SL authorities did say they reserved the right to end a SL licence at any point in the 3 years if they felt that the club was not inproving.

Re protests: do you want Wilky walking away because then we'll be in a more parlous state than Crusaders?

Oh well at least I now have a fresh excuse for continuing alcohol abuse.

2nd June:
It's a pretty prestigious position," Parish, 42, told BBC Radio Manchester.

"I made a few enquiries along with a number of other people and was lucky enough to get the job.

"It is a club with a lot of tradition and the future looks bright. There are a lot of young players and we have a fantastic new facility on the way.

18th August:
"I don't mind challenges, but you need to see change if you want to improve, you need to see change," he told BBC Radio Manchester.

"I know if I can get some change, I know we can get some improvements, but the club definitely needs to change."
"It's not just all about finances. It's about providing a club and an environment that people want to come to.
"The thing that has surprised me the most was that I wasn't expecting what I was coming to.

"If you talk to people from other clubs, and in the Super League in general, they've all got an opinion about Salford and unfortunately it's probably not the one it's not what we'd like to hear."

"At the end of the day, moving to the new stadium isn't going to fix the problems at Salford.
I've been brought here to do a job and I think I've been very honest and up front with them from day one, and the job that they want me to do, and the job I want to do, are probably not, at the moment, the same."

17th November: Resigns.

Can't really blame him can you?

I have a feeling he may have been offered the Manly job.

Yep agree totally Solly. They will attempt to brush all this under the carpet. It will be interesting to hear the fallout when he arrives back in Aus as I'm sure the story will come out then.

If we can get a substantial amount of people to boycott a game and all stay outside the stadium, especially during the build up games, could that affect the club getting it's saftey certificate? Am I right in thinking they need a minimum number inside the stadium on each build up game to get the certificate?

Now that would be a great time to do it. But we would need the numbers to do it. A handful of us will achieve nothing.

I'm sure it won't take you too long

Just listened to this again.



no club bullsh*t statements needed, he said it himself.

Every cloud...

Matt Parish was never first choice... he wasn't even 2nd or 3rd choice... the club made a right royal hash of the whole process and are likely to do just the same again. Parish was a desperate choice as they didn't want to come back from Australia with nobody. What we got was somebody who didn't know anything about the club... hence the reason it was probably so easy to talk him into it. He got here... and it wasn't a pretty picture... most of us knew that anyway.

It's hard to know where to begin... and my position as a moderator on here prevents me from saying exactly what I think.

Maybe those who have defended everything the club do in recent weeks... those who have a pop at any of us with the slightest negative comment... will now take off those rose tinted glasses and realise what we have here.... a great big bloody mess of a club.

No it doesn't. Just don't swear or say anything libellous.

Well done, Matt. You are the first coach to exit Salford without their reputation being so low that their career is effectively finished.

HERE HERE

















I tried to tell a few home truths last week hoping to break things in gently but you still get the blind faith brigade ignoring everything!

One day as this is only the tip of the iceberg they will finally take those specs off mate!

"To lose one coach, Mr Wilkinson, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose three in one year looks like carelessness."
apologies to Wilde

we are a laughing stock

it just shows how much the board etc care about the club - they dont - all the wilky is great and simms are great people should wake up. They dont care about Salford if they did they would have made the changes as Parish said and we all can see are needed. Its not all about money its about professionalism and we are a joke.

All these idiots who go on about Parish being 2nd 3rd or 5th choice etc should take heed who appointed him? Their top choice is at Hull cos we wouldn't wait.

How can Parish's reputation be tarnished, the bloke came in and acted honestly and told people the truth -which they didnt like - tarnished? rubbish it will be enhaced - everyone with in the game knows how badly this club is run.

Matt Parish :-
Games 6, Won 1 - Drawn 0 - Lost 5 , Points for - 96, points against - 196 .


His reputation , when it comes down to it ..

That's where the problem lies Iain... Not sure I could refrain from either

Not sure I agree with that.

I feel let down because he had a job to do and he walked. There may be personal reasons but if he really wanted to change things at the club or had issues with certain people at the club he should have tried to work his way round them.

Lots of people in lots of jobs have had issues within their working lives. They don't all walk.

Silk purse... Sow's ear

It matt we did trust...in the board we do not

TBF you cant polish a turd, especially one that had been left by Mcrae!
