OK CBJames name one decision that that you can prove that Simms 100% has taken that has weakened Salford as a club given the way our club is with limited resources, limited revenue, and all the rest that comes with Salford and being a smaller club in the big league.

Wrigley , Wrigley's refusal is a non story really as he was cooling on the option two weeks ago , long before Simm's & Wilkinson mission to Oz. put this down to RL Paper talk

Simms , Simms is a well known blatherer known for his off the cuff quotes ( I'm still waiting for Anthony Minichiello & Craig Gower

) . I'm not saying he's not knowledgable , I'm saying he's never learn't when to keep his trap shut until a deal is properly done.

Gentle , Of the Short List ( should we know say [iwish list [/i) he sounds the best Aus Candidate , lets wait for the big press build up followed by the stunning denial that he was ever interested .

Millward , if it was down to an available UK based coach , I'd prefer Kear thank you .

The three wise men in oz, are not qualified enough to interview anybody.In the last 25 years we have had 16 coaches
say no more,Its the chairman who will be being interviewed,by the applicants.
The applicant,I will want to bring,my own back room staff
The chairman, we will provided, Steve and Phill.
The applicant Is there any money.
The chairman no.

Do you own a Tripe Shop lance? You certainly talk a lot of it.

`He who pays the piper calls the tune.`

If you can find another piper then JAW would be delighted to leave the stage.

That's the problem with Simms role at the club. He can duck responsibilty for any decisions made by assigning blame to others.

duck what responseabilities? Do you know the in's and out's of his job and how do you know he is "ducking" work? You dont work with him do you? if not how are you or anyone else qualified on this board to pass judgement that he doesn't do the job that Wilky has employed him to do.

2 weeks ago Wilky did an interview for Boots an all where he stated that he believes Simms DOES do a good job and i certainly believe the man who employes Simms and oversee's the work he does.

Now I might not be the sharpest tool in the box but you definately have an axe to grind don't you.

Are you ex playing staff or another former employee?

I'LL SPELL IT OUT LOUD AND CLEAR FOR ONE LAST TIME FOR YOU IF YOUR STRUGGLING TO GET IT THROUGH BUT WITHOUT WILKY THERE WOULD BE SALFORD IN SUPER LEAGUE, NO NEW STADIUM GETTING BUILT AND MORE THAN LIKELY NO SALFORD RLFC AT ALL.

If none of that means anything to you then I'd suggest your not the Salford fan you think you are or poprot to be.

As the director of football the buck stops with him on football matters. if he didn't play a significant role in giving macrae a long contract and signing sick note players on long contracts then he is being paid for doing nothing. If he was instrumental in those decisions he is crap...HTH

No it doesn't help because as I said what evidence do you have that proves that he was the person who signed McRae on that contract. because I am pretty sure the directors and particular Wilky and Howard would have had the final say in that matter as is the case at the moment.

Again what evidence do you have to show he was the person who signed said players who were crocked? Iwould have thought that decision would of been down to the manager wanting them players. It is not Simms' job to tell the manager who he is and isn't having, more his job to make the deals happen.

I'll say it again, Wilky appears to have the upmost time for Simms and in his eyes as Simms' boss is more than happy with the job he does. If he was that bad for that long at hid job he would of been out a long timr ago, simple as. Like anyone else who is not capable of doing their job.

So at the moment all you can give us is what you believe in your head to be the case

It is in fact 10 coaches in 30 years.

Please don't try this ' in your head stuff'. You wrote:

I bet he became aware of us wanting to look at him, has spoke to Maguire who has said go if you want but i would like you to stay and he has made that decision then. Again, nothing Simms can do about that.

You are busy making up whole conversations to defend the inept Simms





You clearly know nothing about a Director of Football role. It will include:

- Getting the best head coach possible
- working alongside the head coach to get the best posible assistants
- Putting in place high quaity conditioning and medical systems
- Working alongside the coach to recruit players
- Creating a strong youth development system

If you think Salford have made significant improvements in those areas under Simms you really are clueless.

Just because wilkinson has time for Simms does not mean he is doing a good job. JW has just got it wrong. I am not bagging JW here. At the giants ken Davy (a similar guy to JW in many ways) made the huge error of appointing Garry schofield as head coach and let him and veivers sign loads of crap players on 2/3 year contracts. It stuffed the Giants for at least 3 years.

You and JW appear to think Simms is doing a decent job. Looking at salford from outside it looks like a shambles. A great shame.
