| MK is a different beast than when he first came into RL. He admitted that he didn't have the knowledge or expertise to jump straight in, so took advice and appointed people into positions where they let the Club down to varying degrees. He let his mouth rule when he should have held his hand up, and he himself didn't help matters that were going poorly. He freely admits his mistakes, which people seem to not bother quoting, and appointing Tim Sheens has been the best thing to happen to Salford in many years. It's allowed MK to stay away from areas he doesn't need to interfere in, and allows him to concentrate on off-field areas which, personally speaking, has been the best I've seen Salford ever do this off season.
Sheens has brought in his own style and culture to the Club which was sorely needed. He's shipped-off expensive personalities in favour of younger hungrier players, where he believes that hard teamwork will be the order of the day.
MK is marmite. As a Salford fan, I can see a massive difference between the Salford of the last few seasons to the one that has emerged at the end of the last season gone. The changes are that dramatic imo. I was ready to walk away for a while at points last season, but the direction, communication, and leap in professionalism in such a short time has won me back around. It doesn't matter to me whether we do much on the pitch next season. What's important is that the people running my Club are trying to get it to a position it's not been for a long time off the pitch. Self-sustaining, professional, with a strong youth set-up that can start bearing fruit in the long term. It's heading in the right direction, and that's credit to MK, Sheens, Watson and the other people working hard to change things.

Arguably we had higher profile signings in the previous two seasons 'on paper ' but so was the team spirit , and tracing paoer at that,
A lot was down to the handling of the squad, but the mix of personality was equally an issue.
They've ( Sheens & Watson ) have made a big play of team effort this season.
We'll see if they are right.

NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9857.jpg |

| He needs to,spend his money on a good quality CEO, a good marketing manager, they have got sheens as player manager and need a decent coach to build a team. Good clubs start with the office, something he seems to keep missing. He can't surely have the time to be a Hands on CEO and lead the management team at the club?

| Quote: TheButcher "Doesn't sound great.
It's taken MK a few seasons to hold his hand up and accept he made errors, but at least he's done so. Since Sheens first came on board earlier in the season MK's antics almost stopped overnight. You could see that Sheens was as far as MK could go with regards to anything hands-on RL related and it's been a breath of fresh air to the fans, staff, players, and MK himself. It's like a different Club now.
I think it shows how you can go forward by taking your mistakes on the chin, and I hope it happens for London at some point.'"
Sounds good for yourselves.
I must admit I always had an uncomfortable feeling that MK was going to get bored at some point, pull the plug, and leave Salford in trouble with contracts they couldn't fund. So if he's decided to calm down and plan long term, all the better.

Are we that short on quality players that Tim has to pull his boots back on? ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)
