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

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.

Best of luck to Shaun in whatever he gets up to in the future.
Realistic option for a new coach would be Brian Noble,dreamland coach would be Tony Smith.

so which of this weekends games on sky will McRae be at.

one question will the new man have the freedom or will Simms be holding him back?

Bloody hell you have to wait 65 years for news this momentous on your birthday

Happy birthday old fruit as a surprise from us all your the new head coach, Pev is in charge of fitness and KOTS motivational activities.

Given that we are on SKY tomorrow it will be interesting to see what Stevo says about this, think that him and SM are pally so I would bet that Stevo has the full inside track on what is wrong/going on at the club behind the scenes. Doubt he will be foolish enough to make any outlandish statements but I have little doubt there will be a few barbed comments regaurding SM's removal from his post.

Leigh fan who i work with reckons it's 100% nailed on Milward
