| I think the main reason so many supporters are so disillusioned is not because of JW or the rest of the Board OR our pathetic marketing OR even leaving the Willows to our newly rented blue seated stadium. It's the complete lack of pride and passion in our performances.
Not many booed when KH was in charge or the likes of Sean Rutgerson, Mal Alker or Paul Highton were playing. We lost many games, yes. But generally we had some fight about us. Since the Slug was appointed and latterly PV, we have been turning out like lambs to the slaughter.
Not many Salfordians can relate to such meekness. Matt Parrish, like him or loath him showed that fire and passion and ignited the same in our fans. What happened? The men in suits shat theirselves and got rid! Well what's left is there for all to see, (A bunch of losers!)...............and tame ones at that. Who wants to be associated with a team like this?

| Rooted Red- you say fans didn't boo karl Harrison, yes they did and it was the reason Jimmy lowes was spoiling for a fight in France.
We seem to have a long history of underperforming and the fans reacting. I don't see how this cycle can end, we don't have the money, or anyone interested in taking over the club, posters saying change the budget clearly want the club to fail and go the same way as Leigh, Widnes, Wakefield before being rescued.
I was underwhelmed at the performance on Saturday but was expecting it, the pack is lightweight and we rested a couple of the first team pack.
Leigh always have a point to prove against us, let their fans have their day and I hope they enjoy it. Their team performed.
There are some real issues with th administration and marketing of the club and until we resolve those throwing money at it isn't the answer.

So now you are saying you would even blame the man if he sold his shares and the new owner(s) didn't live up to your expectations either (Despite your constant whining about the way he runs the club. You make it sound like JAW was put on this earth for the sole purpose of satisfying you own personal expectations in life.

| well well well...yet another discussion were nearly 98% of the forum community disagree or cant understand Dantes Inferno.
There really is no holding you back is there, you seem to make valid yet unrealistic and unachievable argument's against how things are curretnly run at the club, while no one can argue there's allot to be changed it once again appear's no one really understand's your logic.. Well i'm gonna gracefully bow out of this one and save my energy for what appear's to be another testing season.
Good look to all those who oppose DI, he's almost like the club itself. Talk's a good talk....
Peace

Really?
He just counter-argued his own opinion, then carried on like he hadn't acknowledged himself.
Fascinating creature...

Lance I believe the Chairman when he says that he would sell the club if the right person came along and I equally believe that if he did sell the club people such as yourself would be on the Turkey over him "selling out".
As I see the position,just my opinion mind you,our present board members came on board because they respected the Chairman and I feel that if John Wilkinson left, the others may follow"another sell out"and more posts.
I cannot think of another person who would take the stick as the Chairman has done, without wanting to walk away from it all and lets face it some of his critics haven't exactly set the world on fire in their lifetimes have they, they probably haven't helped as many people has the Chairman has and never will do.
With regards the Director of Rugby draining the finances of the club, do you know what he is paid,is he actually paid?please fill us in on the details.
If we recruited another Director of Rugby how much would he/she get, would it be more or less that it is now?

| Who then? Fred Done may be born here but he will not take over the club. Nor will Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, Russell Watson, Elkie Brookes, John Cooper Clarke, Mike Leigh, Robert Powell or the Ting-Tings.
The constant flow of we need someone who will ruin him/herself so "I" can enjoy Friday nights is becoming a sticking CD and makes the same sense.
At least, and very aptly, better the Devil you know rather than the one you do not know.
This is the board, team and coaching staff we have. WE cannot change it: only support it or stay away.
I was very disappointed/angry on Saturday. Nowt new there.
It's what I have come to expect in being a Salford fan in his late 50's.

| I have never once heard, read, seen a statement off Jaw regarding putting the club up for sale. I've heard in the past few years he is willing to step down IF, a younger enthusiastic businessman appeared on the scene to take over his reign. But he has never once put the club up for sale, so until he does we can't really take his comments seriously enough, we'll never know how much serious genuine interest is out there until he actually takes the club to market.

DI I'am confused your saying you haven't heard but you have? People who own sports clubs don't step down without selling their controlling interest of shares. Would you let someone play russian roulette with your money or personal guarantees? It's not the norm to advertise a club for sale, these things are usually done privately.

| I know of three businesses recently sold which never ever were put up for sale: it's not a house you know.
