What is Steve Simms' role and how is he performing it badly?

I might just set up a petition, what subject?
OH YES STOP PEOPLE WRITING IN CAPITALS AND NO PUNCTUATION

as movements go it seems very similar to the sort of movement I have when visiting the bathroom first thing each morning...

SS runs the football department so has control of any player recruiting, player administration, coach hire / fire and organising general stuff like where the players train, how they travel to matches ect
Unfortunately his performance cant be measured like a coach or a player can so we as fans find it difficult to judge if he is doing a good job or not.

I feel that with vievers in charge he will need Ss as he is a inexperience coach, the problem start when you get an experience coach like MP or Noble or kear who comes in and doesn't need him or his imput
Another problem is say Wilkinson has a mad moment and sacks Ss who do we replace him with as he is the man who goes to the board when the coach needs a player and advises them if its a good or bad decition.

Somthing nobody as thought about...

Bingo.

But it was for the person who decided he should be sacked to answer.

He was brought in to sort out those background tasks because the chairman didn't have enough time to devote to it, and had been making a bit of a balls of it (players with ridiculous contracts, players signed on the basis of short video clips, that sort of thing).

So, should the OP be successful in his/her mission to get Steve Simms sacked, perhaps s/he could tell us who would take on that workload. Oh, and provide evidence that Simms has been doing a poor job, otherwise the club could be up for unfair dismissal.

I see that adamred4life made 2 posts prior to this.
It could be a while before we have his pearls of wisdom again!

What do all the top clubs do,who don,t have a Teflon Ted.We now know the Chairman was not speaking to Parish,
If he started talking to the coach,he would not need a go between,then he would be getting the facts first hand,he could
then get Mr Tarry to do more.Then Simms is salary could go where It should be player recruitment. even the apologist
for Mr Simms no this to be true.If the top clubs can work without a Director of Rugby so can we.Do we think Smith at
Warrington would be answering to a Simms like figure,I don,t think so,so why should are club, a Director of Rugby at Salford,is just a waste of money,If there was a survey done,of the 3,000 of us with question do we need him.I am sure
the the reply would be a BIG NO.

just thought i would comment on this subject as i know Karl Harrison told my brother that he was stabbed in the back by Simms and he has never or never will speak to him again. Apparently Simms has been the problem for a number of years but JW will hear none of it......so you might be ing in the wind trying to oust him !!

I not one for picking on individuals for the mess we are in but lets look at SS track record over the past 24 months

1) signs a player without conducting a medical
2) sends mal alker home from a training session without understanding the employment law behind doing this
3) from some 10 overseas signing in the past 24 months only 2 have been a success, one of whom as gone back to oz ed off with the club
4) signs a coach after spending weeks in Oz at a cost of thousands who last 6 games, before strangely doing a runner
Now there may be many postive aspects to this man and his work and im open minded enought to listen to them, but until then im happy to back the campaign to get this fella back to oz.

One things for sure with or without him i'll be a Barton next season because i love the club

And no training kit at beginning of preseason, I'm just think being the head of the football department this kind of think would be sorted.

Personally i feel a redeployment would work better Ss would be "player and coaching welfare officer", he still does his thing looking after players, negotiate contracts with new players and old players with the coaches blessing, looking after coaches requests for players ect but the coach HAS final say and goes to the board with his requests and they can turn it down or accept it based on if we can afford it rather than if its a good idea or not.

The coach speaks to the media. He tells us how it is and Ss just does his business quietly in the background, if the coach gets sacked then the board can appointee another one with the help of Ss in his new role.

At the moment in my eyes he advises the board what is a good and bad idea and no experienced coach will come to salford if he has to run his ideas past ss 1st.
The coaches head is on the block and he should live and die by his decition

At last a proper speccie, thats what we rugby fans do, support the clubs we love through good and bad times.

How many of these really happened (or happened the way they've been reported on here) and how many are just message board rumours? Remember, if everyone on here who claims to know what's happening inside the club really did know, we'd have had a completely different squad of players and a completely different coach last season.

I don't know what they do. You obviously do otherwise you wouldn't spend so much time on here telling us Steve Simms is surplus to requirements, so why not tell us? For example, who negotiates contracts at those clubs? The coach? The chairman? One of the other directors?
