McManus tenure has seen his boyhood club master 21 trophies/titles in 23 seasons created top Academy and Ladies teams and provided a brand new rugby league purpose built stadium for this century all on a pittance compared to other millionaire club owners........................now that is what you call respect until the cesspit band wagon of social media erodes that perspective'"
I would also add McManus has been an outstanding corporate citizen for the club/sport having used his business skills to champion and drive forward key initiatives for his town/region across areas such as economy, health and social well being.
But hey, why let facts get in the way of petty small mindedness and bigotry |

Cool story.
My club has achieved plenty thanks, I've not had any axe to grind with Saints until this year, in fact I started to feel sorry for you after the fifth year of you being humbled. Although I'd note that, unlike McManus, our chairman keeps his thoughts to himself and has built a stable rugby league business fit for the future.
I congratulate Saints for winning. But it will take a long time to remove the shadow cast by the behaviour of fans and management after the cup final. Thank God Salford have more dignity in defeat. |

Jealousy. Don't you just love it?
I'd more worry about your own yesterdays club which has spent most of the last few seasons embarrassing themselves near the relegation zone than about McManus having a moan after Wembley.
Oh and stick your phoney 'congrats'. |

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.

Grand Final watched by 43% more people in total than last years boring Wigan v Warrington final.
Saints are clearly the 'Barcelona' of Super League and Salford far more attractive a proposition than either of last years finalists.

Yet the crowd in attendance was the lowest since 2002. |

It's all about the money.
If Sky could CGI the crowd to make it appear full, everyone is happy  |

I stand corrected. The crowd in 2009 was lower which massively surprised me. Also featured the Barcelona of RL.

| Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "I disagree. Without Hastings Salford fall out of the top five and plummet towards relegation contention.
Toronto, if they buy well (and SBW would be an example of buying well) will have a good shot at the top five. So too will Catalans with James "Jimmy wins" Maloney guiding the team around the park. Neither Salford nor Wakefield should trouble either of those teams.'"
I'm pretty sure that you (and a few other trolls) mentioned during last season's middle 8's that Hastings only looked good because he was playing against Championship/lower SL teams.
So I'd keep your botty waffle to yourself if I was you chief as you just continue to make yourself look a few sandwiches short of a picnic.  |
