Quote: Dannyboywt "My view of Salford is PV was starting to build a better team however money ran out last year so he lost most of his stars, also he was unable to re-new contract for other player he would have liked to have kept. This left the team a good deal weaker that last years fairly difficult season.
If I were a top player would I fancy going to Salford? You need a few solid signing and then a big name coming in then the results will come.'"
You're probably right but presuming Salford are struggling to attract top class players, the quickest way to help remedy this is to get a big name coach. Although the club's top brass insist the decision to sack Veivers was based purely on results, it is plausible that somebody was already earmarked for the coaching job before last Friday's result.
Quote: Dannyboywt "If we use Tomkins as an example, he plays for a team who will compete for trophies this year, so what would the appeal be for him to come to you? Massive wage? So do you want players that are focussed on their bottom line rather than being winners?'"
Money talks. Perhaps not for Tomkins as he has the luxury to be 'a winner'. Most don't.
Quote: Dannyboywt "Joined to that, what will he do if success does not come?'"
It doesn't matter. It is clear now, after a few home games, that Koukash's investment was the only way to save Salford's place as a Super League club. If he walks away, Salford are in no worse position as they were after Christmas.
Quote: Dannyboywt "He was talking of lifting the Salary cap the other day, but this is something that has given teams a chance of staying in the hunt for success. If the salary cap door was opened, how long till one of these backers says well I've ploughed in as much as I am prepared to, that's it and leaves a club in a financial hole?'"
The salary cap helps save clubs from themselves. It's a good thing. Marwan was no doubt thinking aloud.
