About time lets hope they finally get the right man

Does this mean that the preferred candidate has expressed an interest so wheels have been put in motion?

1 gone 1 to go!!

I hope we're thinking bigger then Cullen and Millward!! They're yesterdays men!! There's a reason why they're not in SL anymore!!

I do wish SM good health and that he is happy in what he does next.

Think that he has never done anything but his best for the club, but unfortunately his best for us was simply second best.

Hope that we do have a replacement lined up and that the person is primed to take over this year, for me it will be Noble but I doubt it will be anything other than till the end of the season as I from speaking to someone in the know within RL get the feeling Noble is off down under come the end of the SL season.

So noble for theremainder of the year and Lam for the start at the new stadium would be my dream ticket.

I wish SM all the best,and hope he returns to good health very soon.

Well done to Salford and their management. An employment situation handled without people from the club adding to careless speculation via the media. The last thing I would have wanted to see was the club being sued for wrongful dismissal where settlements can be higher than for unfair dismissal.

The employees absence due to illness put the club in a difficult situation which is why we have probably seen such a lengthy scenario played out.

Hopefully Mr McRae is satisfied with his severance and the club can now get on with looking for the replacement sooner.

Just got up to the best birthday present ever!!! At last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now lets move forward with a new coach asap

And,please,let's give the new coach a chance from day 1.
Whoever he is will not be to everybody's taste,but surely we can back off the insults for a while.

According to BBC story - Phil Veivers "...taking caretaker charge...." - doesn't say until end of season, so perhaps we can hope for an announcement soon

Best of luck to Shaun McRae from here on.

It may be one option but not without risk.
Noble's unattched and could come in on an short term contract til the end of the season. he already worked with Vievers etc and could ' steady the ship'. but quick fix option although they may fix our leaky defence, wouldn't help with keeping key players and bringing in new talent for the new stadium.

If a overseas Coach is interested it would mean quitting part season . comming across without having had a proven track record in SL or adapting to living in the UK, no knowledge of the UK based English or overseas based Players over here.
So to me that mean's South's Kurt Wrigley is a huge risk.
Noble is a safer Bet but not my ideal choice.
Adrian Lam would be an intriguing possibility but doubtful , due to take over at the St George Dragons in 2012 and has been quoted that Wigan would be the only SL club that could change his mind.
So it's Vievers until the end of the Season with an overseas coach appointed but directing 2012 contracts and recruitment?

Or it's Noble then and on a longer term contract is my bet ( if not my dream choice )as to me he's the only candidate who meets the two issues:-
Someone free now to address the on field issues , with a record of Bradford - Wigan & GB + getting a half decent season out of Crusaders. and given a remit to tie key players and sign for 2012.

It's Wilkinsons way, rather than act decisively pre-season we're changing Coaches half way through a do or die season. Our last 5 Head coaches have come in mid season . ...................Oh the joy of being a Salford Fan

I await the abuse but here goes.
Why the best wishes etc to McRae.
He has left with a nice severance package and it was obvious he would not go without this so he has got exactly what he wanted.
4 years of excuses, dire rugby and the club in freefall.
Yes thank you Mr McRae.
