Hi all i'm fairly new to this forum (this is in fact my 1st post) but from browsing through the threads a lot of what i seem to see is a wave of negativity and impending doom coming from certain individuals such as the originator of this thread 'lance todd' and others. How can you possibly judge MP on 1 game sat in the stand and 3 games in charge,all of which as afore mentioned were tough games to say the least! Why don't 'we' just let MP get on with his job while 'we' get on with ours.....supporting srlfc come what may? Anyone that thought drastic changes were going to come about within a month were blatantly having themselves on so lets put a little trust in the people in the positions that matter eh?

Welcome on board Paint it Red, nice to read a positive & objective comment!

Cheers redgunner and apologies for the rant! It just rubs me up the wrong way,sometimes i wonder if these people are even fans of the club at all or whether they just come on here in an attempt to spread misery!

i thought he got his post match comment pretty much spot on

disappointed with effort especially with goal line defence. U20's took a heavy beating so cant really ring the changes

IMO I thought you would have fared better this season, but know there were problems with SM etc

Backed up with players not performing (or not playing) its certainly not helped

I was never Feka's biggest fan, but he looks like he's lost weight, but didnt have the appetite for it yesterday. Phil Bailey never played, the hooker you signed (never played or got a permit)

all in all what looked to be a promising batch of signings pre season have let you down IMO

If you look at Wire and the changes they've benefited from since the move to their stadium, granted it took time and they also have someone to stick the money in

Parish will turn it around, but you've got to give him time to work with the young ones and bring them through. You have some good pros to work with them also (cashmere is one i've always been impressed with)

Thanks Pieman, you make some good observations, I think MP got it spot on, I don't want to see or hear the comments we used to get from SM we were in it for 60 minutes, we need to train harder & we will turn it around.

Yes you are correct some of the signings have been huge disappointments, Feka springs to mind, a lot of Salford fans thought he was not a good signing for us, he was a good player in a good team, many Salford fans quite rightly predicted he was not the player we needed at Salford.
I believe we need to hold on to the wire model & hope we can turn this around, with the right marketing over time we have a great chance.

Welcome paint it red, welcome to the board I agree with everything you said MP is the man to take us forward.

Stinking of someone on the inside or a relative of MP's new to the country. "We" in brackets twice in original post. Referring to 3rd person fans, and 1st person club etc. While I agree with the sentiment of letting MP get on with his job I find it very very difficult to find this post authentic... then again I could be wrong. Look at SM......

You should be a detective with skill like that

I know that lancetodd has a reputation for negative postings and people on this thread seem to be reading his post as a pop at Parish, but I'm reading it more like "will Parish stick around or will he get frustrated and leave" - not questioning his ability, more what he has to work with.

MP would want a chance to build his own team not one mcrae built in a half d way.

I'm sure MP after a full preseason with his own signings on board we will see a different salford, you can tell he loves the challenge.

I was referring to this not 'redgunner' post to be fair.

I'm sorry call me paranoid but that just stinks, I apologise if its a genuine poster, but that stinks of a relation making reference to "we" the fans. OTT. IMO,




Completely agree with your sentiment. Though if MP has been told to slash the Salary Cap we spent last year by 200k he'll be making some difficult decisions over the next week. Decisions that will make the club and possibly him unpopular with the fans. No new signing's, and reducing our already average squad by 2-3 players. Time will tell but I forecast a cloudy off season if there is any substance to these particular rumours.

perhaps we won't have a good preseason from what was said last night, Aussie players going home and training over there as it is in their contracts, so once again we will start with a team that only gets together a couple of weeks before the season starts. Hopefully someone at the club will sort out these contracts, because it looks like the players can tell the board pretty much what they want and get it. I would say have October off and be back in November, plenty of time to renegotiate these contracts, 30 days notice and all that. Then don't let it happen again, I am sure Wilkie doesn't have similar contracts for his own staff.
