Not all fun and games mind!

[i'Because of our position and because of the lack of development in the club and the recruitment process they've had in the past, the club lacks depth.'[/i

The above quote couldn't possibly be aimed at The Right Honourable Sir Steve Simms could it?

[iParish reveals he is in the dark over recruitment.

"I can't really answer that because I don't know myself what is happening," he said.[/i

That's the bit that worries me!

F*cking shambles.

The sooner people take their rose tinted specs off the better. The club needs its leadership to wake up and smell the coffee.

So all is not as "rosy" as some people on here make out!! The coach has been lied to by the Chairman and the rest of his cronies, it makes you wonder how many years this has been going on for? And how many other coaches have been lied to in the past?

I read that and think that if he doesn't get some of the players he knows we are desperately short off then I would suggest he'll walk away.
I said yesterday that he might see Salford on a limited budget as a challange to showcase his skills but if the option to strengthen as he expected or was lead to belive then I can see him being coach who deserves better than that actually going and finding better than that.

Unless there are some glaring misquotes I'm seriously worried by that article.

Don't press the panic button just yet. We all know what 'journalists' are like, he may have said this or that and gave the impretion etc. Don't believe all you hear fro these rags. Don't you think MP would have looked at the info' available to him, stats etc about the state of SCR. I read into that article that he is angling for more cash to spend, no big shock.

Keep the faith, Reds will rule..

I do like the way he is publically attacking the way things have been. Makes a refreshing change.

[iI was led to believe there would be a few more players available than there are.[/i

It's not like the club to tell any porkys, now where is that centenery shirt

If that really is the case then there is something very wrong with how things are being run. Send in Sir John Harvey Jones [size(edit - just found out he's dead)[/size.

Listen to this and tell me his demeanour hasn't changed perceptiably over the past couple of weeks. Very very worrying indeed. news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 575895.stm

Shouldn't he be saying this to the Chairman and/or Director of Rugby instead of the press?

Maybe he is putting it our in the public domain to put pressure on the board? It does seem very worrying to me that after a month he has sussed all of this out yet the previous regime didn't once mention anything like this in the previous 4 years! It does also worry me that there could well be a big bust up behind the scenes and a total lack of trust already! I'm glad he is open and honest and I hope that what he is saying will be taken on board and acted upon.
