I wish someone would come for Simms Lance yeah MP got him here for that we must say a big thanks.

I have become cynical and sceptical since viewing this forum but a few things do still trouble me.
When,for example,will Phil Veivers receive some praise when reports last year,at the time he 'filled in' as head coach he received praise from the players,including DJ ? Or is he just using Salford as a stepping stone ?

As lots of ingoings and outgoings from clubs are arranged sometimes many months in advance,why is it that Steve Simms is not given any credit for good people arriving at the club ?

With the,as yet,unappreciated Phil Veivers having spend a great deal of time under the coaching tutelage of Brian Noble,perhaps Sean Long sought advice from Noble and decided working alongside PV was a good idea.
I don't know the reasons for SL to leave an international tour but the last I read rlHERErl suggests he may rate Brian Noble.

Anyway,I now know that all the good at the club was done by Matt Parish,who was at the club for a number of weeks only and planned long term,and everything else is not worth bothering with as nothing is planned but only due to serendipity and is only temporary.

Actually if anyone deserves the credit then I would expect Basil Millward is the guy.

He introduced Long to Parish and reccommended Salford possibly in part due to his friendship with Simms.

Parish alone would not have been a draw.

We all know Salford is a stepping stone for everyone, if a coach or player shows loyality during their contact I have no issue.

This is something Parish failed to do.

Before anyone claims Shannon Mcpherson is a Parish signing he had been signed by the now assistant coach at Wigan and by rlthe statement in this press releaserl he wasn't breaking any sprinting records to sign him.

So Matt Parish wasn't Salford coach when we signed him?
