[iThank God it's not BERNARD WRIGLEY......[/i

Where has this been reported?

Last time I heard that name was when we beat his Adelaide team in the WCC

[i
In this mornings first edition of the Manchester Evening News.
[WHERE ELSE?

I Believe he likes to give his teams plenty to chew on!!

He will be a breath of fresh air at our beloved club.

Might get a bit sticky if things go wrong.

Could burst a few bubbles!

Or he could send us into Orbit

The first one mentioned,and we are doing somersault's,will he be the first casualty of McGuire reign then.
who ever it is,I hope he is no friend or relation of anybody there now,I think for this appointment, John
should seek advice from one of his friends in the game, I personally would like to see as bigger name as
possible go to the new stadium, and make a statement of intent,we have got to create interest right from the off.
will the criteria be he has to work under Mr Simms, If so I shudder to think who It will be.

Bigger name? Like who? we're never in a month of sundays going to entice a Wayne Bennett type to coach Salford. Perhaps a good young ambitious coach from Aus is what we need to instill some fresh ideas and blood into a stale, bland Salford team.

I for one would be happy to try out some one of his ilk. Give him a 1 year contract with a sweetner for him to improve and want to coach us for a few more years following on from it.

Couldn't see a top rated aussie coach coming out on a 1 year deal myself

I am sorry but I will beg to differ,sell the job properly and I think we will be able to get a top coach,
the sell would be total control of football matters,the new ground,the right ambitions, and the right money,
because I don't think we have got twelve month's to get It right,but that's only my opinion.

Maybe he could bring a couple of players with him - Nathan Merritt, Issac Luke...

Look at his cv.
There is nothing in there to recommend him,apart from the fact he is Australian.
Looks like a journeyman player and a journeyman coach.
Happy to eat my words if anyone knows different.

Who is doing "somersault's" (sic)??

another aus assistant looking to make a few quid

Unlike any british assistants looking to make a few quid



Why not try someone like him out? If he's really after making himself a name as a coach then he'll want to make a mark on the game. What better way than in a strong SL and turning a team with potential into genuine SL contenders.

I'm sure when Maguire was announced at Wigan, they were all saying Maguire who? Look what he has done. Lets face it there's not much talent to look at in our own country to choose from unless you want the club to go for John Kear, Ian Milward or Nobby.

You know I can understand the Salford fans wanting atop quality coach but why in rugby do we have this obsession for all things Australian. Is it any wonder we can't compete with them when most teams are coached the Aussie way and most teams bring in Aussies at the expense of good young British talent ( I will give Salford there due there they have recently given chances to a few youngsters).
If your going to take a gamble on a young up and coming coach you might as well give a home grow talent a chance.

"Looks like a journeyman player "

Excellent
Most better coaches are (in most sports). reason: they have to work at their game and think more through. Having a suprb talent does not mean you can explain it in a way that all players develop. The exceptions are few and far between.
Wayne Bennett never set the world of RL alive when he played.

Fair comment.
The point I was making was,if he wasn't an Aussie,there is nothing that would set him apart either as a coach or a player.

NO NO NO NO anyone remember the last coach we got from the rabbits???????????

And he was there first team coach ??????????

if it was TIM SHEENS THEN YES YES YES YES .

Don’t want to talk football on a rugby league forum, but speaking of top quality coaches look at Sir Alex Ferguson. Didn’t exactly set the world alive as a player in his day. Look at his coaching credentials. Possibly the best and most successful football manager in the world.

My point is that a descent manager doesn’t have to have played the sport at the highest level.

We've had people managing our descent since the late 1970s, don't think we want any more
