The fans, the members, the people there.. from the day I stepped foot onto that field at the AJ Bell Stadium,I knew I would love that club for the rest of my life. "Jackson Hastings".. Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything.

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.

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.

Everything I've heard Matt talk about since arriving has been absolute common sense and a breath of fresh air - frankly I find the notion that he's experiencing resistance depressing when it's blindingly obvious that the club cannot continue in the same way as we have been if we ever want to improve.

Fully agree, this approach has been required for a very long time. Get it all out in the open I say as its the only way to weed out the 'resistors' to change and eventually move forward. Let him rip the place to pieces.

In no uncertain terms I'd say Parish is setting his stall out to show who's boss , not just the squad , or his coaching staff but the board aswell. This is high stakes Poker stuff . I don't think I've ever heard such a strongly worded statement about the state of our club.
He's got a set , he must need wheel barrow to carry them around in a014.gif Carlsberg made this Coach .
this can go only two ways , they call his bluff and he walks , or they support him and we move on, I dread the consequences if he goes , it goes without saying that we need to show our support on Friday to our new Coach .

@MickeyTommo Twitter stalker. RL Fans lurker. Ginger.:cartoons/WB75.gif



Seems to be the aged old problem with Salford though. The team obviously need investment but where does that come from on £4k crowds?? There doesn't seem to be a white knight with deep pockets coming on board any time soon.

I'm constantly frustrated by Salford and always have that thought that we could be doing so much better - but could we really with our current resources?? I honestly don't know the answer but my own thoughts are yes.

For years and years we hear people from all quarters tell us how unproffessional the clubs run - why has there been no change??? Are we the only club run this badly?

We've not had a Tarry out thread for a good old while on here (I miss those hardy days!!) but he, after all, is the chief executive of the club - doesn't the way the club is run stop and start with him?? I personally don't feel that the club has made enough tangible progress over the last 10-15 years for him to still be comfortably sat at the head of the table.

I'm sure I'll get condemned by the masses for raising this and yes I have to admit that I have no idea whatsoever what Tarry actually does for us or has done for us in his current role. Surely though if the same problems are cropping up year on year then questions have to be asked??

Wilky is above reproach for the simple reason that without him we wouldn't have a club to moan about, I just fear the people around him are not the right people any more and a clear out and some new ideas at boardroom level are badly needed.

Why would the club 'mislead' Matt? If they wanted to carry on with the status quo, they would have just appointed Phil Vievers or hired another 'nodding dog'.

Could it be that their (honest) opinion of the current strength of the squad and management team are simply different to the 'reality' that Matt has found?

If so, the Club have a simple choice of agreeing with Matt and doing something about it, or telling him that we cannot meet his expectations and letting him go.

As one of the 4k or so that are fervently hoping for some serious improvement next season, I hope Matt and the Club get together and sort these issues out.

I will be there on Friday to voice my support for the Coach, COME ON YOU REDS!!!

If it's the former then we'll have a huge job getting anyone worth their salt to come in now it's in the open.

IF WIDNES DESERVE A PLACE IN SUPER LEAGUE.......THEN THE POPE IS JEWISH!:33469.jpg



VIVA M.P WHAT A BLOKE,having the to speak the truth in what he has seen in a month compared to some of the half wits on here that have been around for years and still cant see the truth!!
Doubt some of his comments will go down well with certain cretins in various ranks and jobs at the club !!
FAIR PLAY MATT

Just hope and pay that the club take this the right way. From what they said about Parrish when he came in they knew the type of character he was. Hopefully he will get the backing he needs to build this team.

Think we all know the squad isnt strong enough didnt need matt parish to tell us that! The way i see it is if you are appointed the manager of wolverhampton wanderers you wont be signing Ronaldo will you? Think matt should bring in a few of his own faces and when we at the new stadium see if a sugar daddy comes out of the woodwork. until that happens i seem to remember matt saying he could coach young players to get better so please get on with it!!

Difficult one ,this.
Really admire him for speaking his mind but he's also a bit of an unknown quantity as Head Coach.
Not really saying things from a position of strength,is he?
The Directors,for all their apparent failings,have used their own money to keep us in Super League and used their best endeavours to buy decent players within the budget they were prepared to commit.
I hope he sticks it out and proves himself.
The Board have nothing to prove to anyone,they've kept the place going.
When he arrived,and for no good reason that I could work out,I had a feeling he would not stay the course.
I really hope I'm wrong.
Any suggestion that he's showing the Board who's the boss is misplaced.They own and run the Club !
Stick at it,Matt, and prove yourself as a Head Coach then you will have a power base.
