I'm still not understanding how you guys aren't getting it. People bang on about those who defend Parish, yet constantly defend those who are rightly to blame or all this. Firstly, Parish always said he wanted to go back to the NRL. That he has done. Now, the recruitment effort by the club was appauling. Parish was only on the list because the club messed up recruiting the people they actually wanted in the first place. They also wanted a quick appointment to get somebody in before the end of the season which have whoever would take the job very little time to look into the club fully. So he had to trust what he was told. This being that he would be given full charge to build a team. He was also told about our 'amazing' youth set up. So Parish comes over and hits a brick wall with everything he tries to do. Each time he makes a request he's knocked back. Not for financial reasons, but because they want to control everything. If they never intended to allow him this freedom, they should never have told him he could. He was hugely frustrated and each time he protested he got the cold shoulder treatment. That is impossible to work with. The youth setup was also nothing like he was lead to believe. So, let's just say he has the opportunity to go and work in a professional organisation in the NRL rather than the amateur set up at Salford, then who can blame him. The amateurism of the club didn't even tie him down to a contract which says everything about how they do things. I'm no big lover of Parish, but I just wish people would open their eyes and see things for real. Take the blinkers off.

The vast majority of us fans - the ones who weren't in the boardroom when conversations were held, aren't employed by the club, don't have close personal links with players or even follow any of them on Twitter - can only summize what has happend behind the closed doors of our club over the last 6 months or more, try to figure out which bits of the gossip to believe, and then formulate our own opinions, knowing that there are two side to every story, and the 'truth is out there' (apart from in Salford).

I don't know what went on, but I'm at a loss to see how anyone can reasonably defend Parish's actions in general. From what I have seen and heard, he came, he kicked off, he won one game, he went back to Oz, he lined himself up a job, he resigned, leaving us with what I would imagine is a squad low on morale. What a guy...
