Whether you believe the board or parish are in the right or wrong. In the end it was the boards decision to hire him so if he was not fit. Then there is a partial level of responsibility for the board.

OK without criticism would Wilko be prepared to step down without a cash incentive for the benefit of the club?

The honest truth might never be made 100% public but for certain I know that Parish didn't want to leave, he felt he had No choice after he asked the club for assurances on some fundamental issues that he felt were vital and the club refused to provide them.
One thing for sure is we'll never know what kind of job he would have job done.

I have personally found what has happened over the past day draining and my love for my club has never been lower, how fans as loyal as ourselves can be expected to remain loyal through this type of upheaval is beyond me, but you know what despite our better judgements most of us will do just that.

What fundamental issues did he want assurances on, and what reason did the club give for not giving those assurances?

I think he would leave his loan in the Company as long as the next man had enough money to sustain projected losses for 3 years.

All i need is Wilky to come out and say exactly what is going on,whats is plans for the future of our is,where he sees us in 3yrs time,of course we are struggling in every department its the only thing everybody seems to agree on.The pain the fans are going through is unfair,just tell us as it is ,maybe then all us fans can come together as 1 instead of the constant bickering we get on here,we all want the same thing, a thriving club that each and everyone of us are proud to say thats my team,thats my club,thats my Salford.When i read MM`s comments it really hit home how desperate things are becoming,i very very rarely agree with his comments,but when a guy like him posts a heart felt post like that then i am very very worried about the future of my club.

Like the other poster states no Salford supporter is enjoying this current atmosphere and we don't deserve to be treated like this.

Two things-------1st point, if Parish was such a good friend of Millward. How come he didnt give Parish the full s.p. on Salford before he accepted the job .Millward knows the British game well enough to have put his mate in the picture about SRLFC.
2nd point------- If it emerges within the next week or so that Parish gets a job in OZ, he will lose credibility over here. It will be so obviouse he has been tapped up and he was just looking for an excuse to jump ship....

Don't you think you are missing the point! Regardless of whether he was or was not tapped up, whether he knew about Salford or not, the board yet again got the appointment so badly wrong, unfortunately for the board Parish did not care too much about reputations & lifted the lid on the amateurish way our club is run! Parish lifted the lid on what most supporters have accepted for a long time.
I not sure if Parish would have made a difference, I not here to judge that but the board on its return made the statement we have got our man, how bloody wrong was that statement, yet again

perhaps we should get a couple of Mounties on the board.

I can't be bothered looking up quotes, but John Wilkinson listed one of Matt Parish's qualities as, having done his homework on the club and our players. So, I don't buy this business that he was lied to. Not to say the board didn't bow smoke up his @rse. He, clearly, knew what the club was about and the strength of playing talent. Additionally, one of Parish's main tasks was to improve the supply line, of young players!

This smacks of, he didn't get his own way, and decided to take off.

I view the biggest worry of all as, what if Peel and the council have decided the club is becoming to big a risk and have decided to secure the safest possible method of protecting their investment.

What buying into the club or indeed maybe buying the club as a whole?

The council still see Salford as lead user of ground.

So it looks like redballoon was right.
