Needs to go

The players clearly don't wana play under him, or maybe it's just me in a bad mood coz we got bummed again I dunno.

Bring on Saints, ratchford at 6 myler at 7

How many times can the players choose not to perform for a coach and get him sacked? I have no loyalty to this particular coach, but it just goes on and on, the same thing every year.
Who will they play for? Paul Cullen? Until they decide they don't like him so stop playing and get him sacked - I will be 1 year older, and Salford will be counting down their days in Super League.
Someone needs to stop the rot.

Karl Harrison isn't doing anything at present. Take him back, can't be any worse than the walrus.

we look unfit its one out rugby where are the extra fans comeing from spending money on that crap no effert what so ever play for 20 mins out of 80 wooden spoon definetly

The only thing about karl Harrison is he did sort our defence out

And got you into the play offs, and in the main had the respect of the squad, and if his defensive work had been on show tonight, you might well have won tonight as you quite obviously scored a few tries.

Thing with Mcrae is he gets found out, he did well at Saints, who wouldn't, he had a decent backroom at Hull and South Sydney soon got shut of him.

Salford should do the same as soon as, just don't be throwing flares at him, then again, cover it in cheese and he'll eat it.

I just can't see where the guy has taken us, we are getting worse week by week. We would of been beat by Celtic if they would have had a few more weeks together.

I invited 2 mates from work tonight 17 quid each they got off athalf time . The attendance was embarressin aswel and it will only get worse while mcrae is in charge. We sack him tho and we have 2 pay him 3 years wages that's why he won't get sacked

I was passed caring tonight, at the moment I am not sure if I am going to part with my hard earned cash next week. I am sorry but we are going backwards, we have good players but our coaching & fitness look second rate.
No excuses Salford, you need to do something before we lose what fans we have left. I honestly don't mind getting beat if I can see progress.

The one bloke I feel for is the one in your avatar gaz. Salford need to get shut of Mcrae, turn the Willows back into what it used to be for years, a ground where other teams knew they would get a solid game and passionate fans to go with it, and build on it.

When you got Mcrae in, I loved it, as I knew he wouldn't have it in him to keep you up above Rovers two years ago, he found his level in National League One, and that's where Salford should have left him.

WALRUS OUT,WALRUS OUT

did anyone else notice that young lad run across the pitch at half time and up the tunnnel? think he's john wilky's grandson? he had what looked like an envelope in his hand, come running back out and across the pitch again 2 mins later, maybe it was a message from wilky for the coach/players? just thought it was weird thats all!

Let's hope it had a P45 in it addressed to Mcrae.

mcrea
what a fake, talks a good game on camera but not got a clue.if he was half as good as he talks we would be on top. back room staff scott naylor
another also not got a clue.mr chairman get us the coaching staff who can cope with super league or we will be the laughing stock of super league.also maybe our proposal for the new stadiam got us into S/L but does not look like it's becoming a reality.

Mcrae puts more effort into his Sky summarising!

The Coach didn't appoint himself and the players didn't sign themselves!

Same old............same old...........

someone wants to tell the players that the club employs them and the coach, if they don't like it they can sod off!
floridagate must have been bad, i don't know what happened, but if someone wants to pm me, i'll be grateful, cos it is having an effect.

Maybe it was that drawing of the new stadium inside the envelope.Perhaps Richard Lewis was at the game and Wilkinson just wanted to remind him why Salford were given a franchise.

everything i said in the last topic "drinking culture" that mysteriously vanished was spot on. They dont respect the coach, certain team mates or the crowd on last nights pathetic showing! John wilky- your club is in danger of blowing up, sort it before its too late. I have never witnessed such a clueless inept performance and thats coming from a guy that was at THAT Odsal masacre! Where do we go from here??? .......

Where do we go from here?

Well it wont be Jacksonville.

...

Someone, can't remember who, pointed out last night, and I have to agree with them that McRae and Paul's media career probably has sod all to do with the posistion we are currently In. Everyone of our squad has things they take part in outside of RL and just because SM and RP's is high-lighted, they take the blame. I personally feel we would probably be better off getting rid of SM, but who would come in? Cullen? McCormack?

I personally think Simms would get the job and I don't think that would be to bad of a decision, look back to the '07 season, the best rugby we played in that season, and arguably the best we have played since was when Simms and Lowes were in charge.

on the way to the game had gmr on in the car listening to an interview with mcrae who said he could not believe why salford fans got so emotional and upset at a rugby result he said after all it is just a game and not the end of the world how can he make a statement like that is beyond me
well mr mcrae it may not be the end of the world and the result may not care much to you but it sure does to me and most of the salford fans i can hack losing but its the perfomances on the pitch which i cant put up with no pride in the shirt from some of the players
so from now on i will not be so emotional at our away games because i wont be there i will keep my hard earned cash say around 50 quid for me and my lad to get in with a couple of pints and bite to eat firmly in my pocket

Exactly the same feeling from me mate! I have my ST so am commited to the Home games but I refuse to waste any more of my hard earned cash going to away games to watch this cr@p. After 45 years of watching Salford I have finally had enough of this endless rubbish and pretence. Last night was the final straw - a clueless display by players who often try hard but are simply not up to the job, unsupported by other players who seem to be disinterested, led by a Coach who doesn't seem to have their respect or a Plan A, let alone a Plan B. A Coach who doesn't seem to understand the passion of the supporters???? A free holiday to Florida, where they can behave either like idiots or animals depending on which rumour you follow - get them on the Brecon Beacons next January if its team spirit and grit the team need? Haven't we all the sports technology we require at Salford Uni?
I am equally incensed by the 'pulling' of the thread questioning the drinking culture amongst the players, where an arrogant WAG called supporters "Fickle" and "Idiots" for not knowing the secrets of the real story - has such censorship spread to our supporters board? What will ever happen to the new ground? Everyone is told a different story and, frankly, I am sick of it all. I used to look forward to the games and love shouting my team on; win, lose or draw but how the hell can you get inspired by a trip to Knowsley Road with the so-called 'team' we have now?

OK, the thread has now been de-HullKRed, and is 2 and a half pages shorter now. Can we please keep on topic?

How in God's name would you know?!

... yep, you're perfectly places to make critical comments!




McRae was quite warmly accepted by most on here when he arrived. I don't remember many doing somersaults in excitement but at least he was a 'household name' with plenty of experience.

Admittedly there were plenty of Hull FC fans warning us about him, and even some Saints and Souths fans, but we're pretty much stuck with him now. Does anyone on here really expected JAW and Co to dig even deeper into their pockets to pay him off, then replace him, when there's no threat of relegation?

I don't like the way we're playing at present any more than anyone else but to demand the coaches' head after 4 games in a new league is ust ridiculous - we're starting to sound like Wire fans!

Because JAW isn't as head-strong or prone to knee-jerk reactions as most of our fans I full expect McRae to be given at least half a season to build things up. I only hope that the fans are willing to stick around until that time, because otherwise we might be getting smaller crowds than Swinton?!
