this will not be the end, or even the beginning of the end. It is merely the end of the beginning [img:1mcv36at]http://homepage.eircom.net/~bray/em/oguinn.gif[/img:1mcv36at] [img:1mcv36at]http://homepage.eircom.net/~bray/em/msperv-l.gif[/img:1mcv36at]:3596.jpg



They'll always be a few people with blind faith, they're probably the ones who the club feel of least too also. Many establishments go to the wall because of this. I respect your decision JM, couldn't blame you one iota. Posters on here stating the club need you more now than ever are likely to be coveting their own desire for the club to survive for their own self indulgence. I respect that also but find it laughable they feel to lay blame on decisions like yours. If the club doesnt act fast and put things straight then they may as well stop too.

Its cruel to be kind springs to mind.

I can see where most people are coming from and it is a difficult situation it must have affect on all the players. The problem with salford is they leave desition making to long and sohuld decide what they want to do sooner than later. as for results to me i feel its down to training on coaching and at times we look like we cant play for 80 mins we need a fresh ideas now for three years of franchise we have finnished in bottom to and no improvement. In which case how can you attract a new fan to a new stadium seeing an average 40 points plus a game avarage there not. I feel the club needs to move forward and were going backwords we are the only club in three years that have had no improvement in super league so i really understand the fans view when money is tight these days why they wont pay money to get in. I wont give up on them but how long as fans can we take what is going on the park with players coaching staff and just feel they need new coach and change things to give the fans something to look forward. we were told top 8 finnish this season but being realistice we dont stand a chance and i feel this position will effect are franchise when they see no improvement in three years. Come on reds lets start playing some good rugby bring on bradford on saturday

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.

Started watching Salford in 1970 my 41st year now, at least I saw a great side, the hard bit has been the last 30 years, maybe if the first ten were as bad as the last thirty I wouldn't still be suffering. icon_beat.gif

You couldn't be more wrong and I don't have blind faith, I've watched Salford for nearly 40 years and I've seen the good times and the awful times but I'll never walk away from the club, ever. I recall saying that Jim had to follow his heart and I'm sure he will do, but your suggestion that I want the club 'to survive for my own self indulgence' is wide of the mark, from what I can see the club doesn't seem to be in any imminent danger of extinction anyway and I really think people need to calm down - bad employment decisions by the club in recent times, maybe, but they come and go, the club will get through it I'm sure (I'm standing in for the Optimist by the way, where is he? I need cheering up). Oh and thanks for respectfully laughing but I don't blame Jim for anything actually, as I've said it's up to him. icon_neutral.gif

Me and are kid (TheButcher) putting the world two rights. ERIC SHAW PREDICTION LEAGUE & PLAY OFFS WINNER 2013 Don't like it? Well Frack off then. Energy & progress for all.

Possibly slightly off topic but if we continue stumbling from one cock up to another this season can we see all the better players staying? I wouldn't in the slightest bit be surprised if we continue in this vane to see one (or maybe more than) Patton, Houldsworth or maybe Cashmere decide they've had enough. If we were getting beaten and the club was being run in a stable manner I doubt this would be an issue but shambolic seems to suit is perfectly at the minute.

Salford Shambolic Reds.

I have supported Salford through thick and thin and travelled everywhere to watch them 96-16 at Bradford just being one humiliation, i can live with that but when the club treats you like they have with us this week ive had enough.
Good luck to all that attend the forthcoming games just hope your money is well spent....

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Oh I don't know, I remember a certain poster who used to start every post with "I have a dream" (or was it had a dream?).

Why would a good result on the pitch change anything?

To be fair, JM's gripe is all about the backroom stuff.

I agree with him too. In fact, it's more credit to the players who can guide themselves to perform like they did when none of them knows who the hell is coaching from week to week.

Besides, I'm sure it will be all doom and gloom mongerers on here after Easter anyway. icon_wink.gif

Spot on there YR..............AND I have a dream too! (not the wet one I had about The Reds getting into the top eight last night). Where all the whinging fookers that go on and on and on week in and week out calling for a new coach (again), and it doesn't seem right that Malc Alker didn't deserve this,and "Bomber" should be transported (again) to Sweden. And the burgers are a rip off.

I have a dream that one day on the Red hills of Salford: the sons of former postmen and the sons of former welders will be able to sit down together at the table of Red Hall.
I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day this team will rise up and live out the true potential of its squad: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all teams are created equal."
I have a dream today.

And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of Super League's players, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, amateur and professional will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Salford spiritual: BRING ON THE SALFORD". icon_wink.gif

And his gripe is somewhat irrational. The club have commented on both incidents. Unfortunately, as supporters we need to learn to accept that employment issues are not to handled via the media.
