Says in todays m.e.n that millward is in contention for the assistant job at salford? What would everyone's views be if he landed the job?

I thought Alker was his assistant.Does that mean we will be having 2?? me thinks he would do good at Salford.

Its a no from me. would rather see the rugby genious promoted if he was going to have 2 assistants.

I'm not sure why Millward would want to play second fiddle to McRae unless it's to help oust him following the inevitable arguments that would ensue and that’s going to be no good for the club, they both have different styles and methods and I would anticipate an almighty clash of personalities, besides I personally don't want either of them.

Shaun McRae's contract finishes next year, Ian Millward could be looking to get a foot in the door?

It would be a good move for me, that way he can take over from mcrae on 12 months time, and millward IS very very close pals with simms . The one position we do need to replace is the conditioning coach as haigh is bobbins and attitude stinks,

It it a step forward to replace one coach who won Superleague with a very good team that didn't need much coaching but managed to win the National League, with another coach who won Superleage with a team that didn't need coaching but couldn't come close to winning the National League?

Big mates with Steve Simms isn't he??
I can see a power-struggle if this comes about with McRae leaving/being forced out. Not too bad a thing IMO.

Sounds Like a ' [iFait Accompli[/i to me .

If I remember McRae's exit at South Sydney it was done by bringing in a new coach , initially under him, then relieving him of the coaching duties and shuffling him upstairs until he got the message .

far be it for me suggest deja vu here..

Difference being Salford had a much stronger squad in 2008 than Leigh in 2010!

A coach can only take a team so far, the biggest factor is finances and the quality of players/squad a team can afford. Unfortunately it's not always a level playing field!

Could Fergie manage Wigan Athletic to win the Champions League?

Could this be what Smithy was on about when he said Mcrae's days are numbered

As long as he's not in charge of The Red Hot Flames I'd be happy.

I'd think that if Millward Gets the job it is as a precursor to him getting the full job come the end of next season. As I was moving I only listened to the game last weekend and afterwards he did say that he only had one more year coaching at Salford and you got the impression that he wouldn't even try to get rehired.

I would think the one person who'd job would also be at risk would be Mal's as I'd think that Millward would would at some point bring in Robbie Paul as his #2 and don't think there is/was any love lost between Alker and Paul.

I very much hope that Millward doesn't get the job as infighting for a year would be a bad thing for me and think we need to be aiming much higher when we are looking for our next coach.
