Very good post but i hate to say it i can not see john wilkinson sacking mcrae even though its what we all want. i do agree that we should chant mcrae out

but agin will it go on deaf hears. I would bring brian noble in if we could afford him.

Your Chairman would be better clearing the loans the club has already before thinking about spending money the club ain't got for another coach.

Worry not whilst your in super douper league your teflon coated,just be thankful it's a closed shop competition.

Good point. It's still heartbreaking however. Like watching your car/pride and joy Being banged about and abused to an inch of it's life.

Could Alker be ready to step in ?

Up his salary slightly for the extra responsibility... and pay the big fella off what we would have paid him anyway... One thing for sure is that he couldn't do a worse job, so we would surely be better off... plus... there is no way on this earth that Alker would disrespect our club. He would command the respect of the players without question.

No not Alker. Although he has been a great servant to Salford he's not ready yet. Can you imagine it will be mad Monday every week. A more experienced coach i think.

I find it odd that anyone would put Malc's name forward right now when he's currently part of the coaching setup and already has an influence on the teams performance. Give him more time to adjust to coaching and to learn his trade.

Wondered how long it would take!!

I'm not suggesting that this would be my preffered choice... just throwing it in as an option for discussion. People are talking about not being able to get rid of McRae due to financial restrictions... When we have an 'option' that wouldn't cost the club the earth... and certainly be a better option for both us and the players than what we have right now.

You have to look at what's available right now for the club.

Noble ?

At Bradford and Wigan he had good players to work with.... He wasn't really a success at Crusaders due to not having as much to work with. Perhaps the Crusaders job tripped him up a little and found him out. Could he bring more to the dressing room at minimal cost.

Millward ?

I think he's burnt his bridges with the whole Assistant coach farce.

Anybody else ?

What we have to remember here is that this is the last season at this ground... and I find it hard to believe that McRae is the coach that is going to take us out of it... I find it insulting to all that have played here and watched here that we have a man with such a lack of loyalty taking us away from our home.

If you were on your death bed... would you want a stranger there talking to you with no emotion... or somebody who loved you and respected you ?

I'd rather they had the Genius step up in a caretaker role rather than Alker. Maybe he'd do it if they promised him his youth role back at the end of the season. The club could then take their time and spend he year getting together what would hopefully be a good portfolio of potential coaches for the job.

I'd say he'd have a lot more to work with at Salford this year than he had at Crusaders last. I think it's very harsh to say he wasn't a success given that he took them to the playoffs the year after finishing 14th in the competition.
