Thanks for taking me to task again.I think all the people who work for the club,do a very good job.
Although some times it seems with one hand tied behind there back, Also I am sure the chairman as done
his very best for the club.

Hi Lance Todd

There and Their

As and Has

take your pick, unfortunately, you have picked the wrong ones

Top tip after every word you could right button click for the correct spelling

Cheers

Scoot

I am sick and tired of the pointless arrogance displayed by some of the posters on this forum. If you disagree with someone then fine express an opinion.

But to pick people up for errors is wrong. You don't know that person or if they have any issues.

To Scoot - when you correct people's posts make sure your work is correct.

To Font - Hope you feel better for trying to belittle someone.

As to what Lance Todd wrote, I liked Leigh's ground and found it to have a better atmosphere than Barton, which I think is to open.

I was in the club when Mr Wilkinson made his grand statement about competing with the big teams after he used the club's sponsorship money to buy the club back, a point I have made before, and one, which I read confirmed in the last programme from The Willows (Willows History section).

As to Matt Parish, it seems the only people who have a bad word to say about him are from within Salford, he was certainly welcomed with open arms at Manly, Jamie Lyon, Ricky Stuart and NSW.

With regard to Luke Patten, I can only say how I find, and I found him to be a decent guy who is passionate about his League, his articles in the MEN I agreed with - although he probably was to open from an employment perspective. I don't believe for one minute Joel Moon is homesick and think he just wants out, I actually think Patten's retirement & back injury would have possibly been postponed if the club had had a better season.

Lastly, my I apologise for anyerrors in my post, I unlike many posters on this site am human!

A five years plan of the [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/19557106head coach ?[/url

Impressed by the words of a young man who had no right to be so considerate in his words as it appears he is leaving.A big well done to him and best wishes,from me,for his future.

Same here,Luke is a very articulate, well educated young man dedicated to his job as a professional sportsman who although clearly very disappointed with his release has acted in a very professional manner.

Good luck Luke in the future.

I would have kept him: I know he seems to have lost his way a little but he is a perfect example of a young (still only 24) British forward with the best years ahead of him, bags of experience and a willingness to play for the club. I can't imagine he was costing us much, and from memory he picked up very few injuries. Our loss...

He'd fully fit the dual purpose of a player and a PR agent.

Derek smalls from what I've been told luke was on about 85k a year this maybe true or not but if it is you can understand why he's not being retained

No disrespect intended to Adamson if true but I'd of thought about half that amount at the very most. If true his agent's in the wrong job he should be selling snow to eskimos!

' Another five Yr plan ' , I think the last plan was ' [iwe're spending money we don't have ' to build a squad that more people will pay to watch in the shiney new stadium [/i' and that will result in more income streams and business wanting to be involved with club and we'll all live happily ever after.
I don't know how far into the last - yr plan we were into before it was abandoned. there are not that many owners around who stick around for more than one.

I think the new plan is rather familiar one:- Live within our means.

re the comment on Adamson , I remember the debut and the try he scored and it is truely sad when a player like that leaves. I think it is a testimony to how hard we have had to cut our squad budget , Ashurst - Dixon if signed will be first choice , Nero has a year still to run and we have U20's lads moving up Mcpherson, can Prop or 2nd Row , Anderson has been a casualty too . too many utility forwards not enought backs now.

I think we panicked a few years ago and had a rush of blood when Warrington were sniffing around him, so we offered him a pretty big contract (maybe not 85k), but big enough to tie him down. Now we can't afford to match it so have to get someone in for cheaper.

I remember when Adamson got an extention to his contract he was being linked with a move to Warrington, he was vying with Alker in the opta stats top tackler lists and had picked up an England selection, and he was being openly discussed as a future club Captain on this forum.

Very very wrong indeed the man IS in the top five earners at this club hard to believe I know but true. I think for what he offers we can have similar by shopping in the bargain basement.

I wish him well and hope for his sake another club can "unlock his hidden talent".

I think Luke it the buffers when Harrison departed,but if he goes to Widnes he could have new lease of life with
Dennis Betts.Good luck to him.

Staggered if Adamson was in top 5 earners.
As has been said,no disrespect to the lad, but I always felt that if he was in the first 17 it meant we were struggling.
Honest trier.
Played enough games for there to have been memorable moments,but we have to do better than Luke if we are to progress

[iPlayers come and players go!

Now then for the five-year plan?

I'm all for it IF The Reds can stay in the top flight....[/i

Apologies if I upset you, was just trying to help.

References to Lance Todd having issues,
I think we must all have issues and stress problems to follow Salford

I've just come across the following on the Martyn Sadler Twitter thingy.( I ain't up on 'modern' things but I reckon it must mean in the last hour ) - was written -


Sadler‏@MartynSadler

I hear there could be some good news for Salford City Reds in the not-too-distant future




That's good news ain't it ?




PS - It was written before that probationary nonsense about Bradford

And this just retweeted by Luke Patten

Gary Carter ‏@GaryCarter_1979
And with regards to Salford. I'm told positive talks have been held and apparently the midnight oil is being burned to get a deal through.

With regards what? new investment, owners, players?

Chatted with someone at the club today who said that all this about financial meltdown at the club is nonsense, apparently there are many more clubs in SL in much greater trouble and since the review mid season there has been no end of changes behind the scenes besides Tarry going.

Yes,no end of changes

OUT Smith,Holdsworth,Patten,Gleeson,Anderson etc etc

IN ?

The important bit was .


Just posted elsewhere what's the use in the club going out and buying players on a shoestring budget if there is new investment allowing better players to be brought in? perfectly happy to wait and see what transpires, let's face it if we are after bargain basement buys they aren't going to be in massive demand by other clubs so won't be going anywhere and if we have money the type of players we want/need will still be involved in the play offs.

also Adamson and Palasina( Know I've spelt it wrong, sorry)
Is Anderson leaving ?. pity if he is, I thought he had a very good season

That means our props for next season are McPhearson ,Gledhill, Jewett,James,Sidlow, Waine
2nds Ashurst,Dixon if rumours are true and Nero
loose Wild plus any academy lads much the same pack as last year
Seems the wholesale changes will be in the backs

That's right,Roy,the big changes will necessarily be in the backs.
But,our pack has been well beaten this season on a many occasions so to take several of the heavy hitters out mean that badly needs strengthening also.
The point I was making is that there is bound to be optimism coming out of he club,that's why they're there but all we can go on are the events that have actually happened .
The suggestion that our targets might be mainly playing for the play off sides is surely a bit optimistic !

Anything that gets rid of that stadium sewer stench.
