Wise words Bonita

Still I read denial??????????

I have taken the same approach as MP on here since I first joined RLFANS, the truth is better than the lies! Shame I and a few others haven't had the same positive replies when giving a very informative opinion! Too many rose tinted glasses on here especially one who never ever finds a problem with the club! Where are you now Salf Uni? Has it taken MP to convince most there is a problem? I say most because it would be a complete failure if I read some of you actually took on board MP's or anyone else's factual stance? Well I can't say I didn't expect it! Will people please stop defending the club as though its one of your long lost relatives!. Well done MP.

I read a post on here the other day stating that most people dissapear if they don't have anything to moan about, I find myself dissapearing because not many posters on here can take critisism in any form against the club, they seem to be be oblivious or turn a blind eye! I now wonder if they'd like MP to dissapear too? Some of us have an honest well informed opinion.

This is probably only one of a few boards on RLFANS who actively seek to encourage opinion (well done mods). Lets just hope what MP has stated doesn't fall on deaf ears or on the deaf ears of those individuals who have let Salford become a source of comfort or an escapism! This is the reality now - here's to the future, hopefully a positive, agreeable and honest one with MP and maybe the odd bit of success along the way.

Anyone who can't smell the coffee please disembark at the next station!

Agree 100% mate. Can not believe what I read on here sometimes. No wonder we have been garbage for so long if the fans are still willing to accept it.

Breath of fresh air I say, I know this is an high strategy move by Matt Parish but at least the lid is off, no more kidding; we either have the aspiration to do a Warrington or we are about to sink, well done Mr Parish for taking the gamble & pulling the crap away.
We have sold him a concept but he has peeled the layer away only to discover very little depth!
We have not seen him coach much but I have heard more honesty from him in one month than we have heard from a lot of the Salford personnel over the last few years.
This is not an attack on Mr Wilkinson has I believe he as done a good job on a dying brand to keep us where we are but now we are at the cross road with a fantastic opportunity but we have someone who is going to tell it like it is, either we are for steaming ahead or the slippery slide to nowhere, but don't kid us anymore.

It seems today's bit of press has cured the parts of you viagra wouldn't touch. Congrats!

So the new coach wants more money for his squad and a change of culture at the club? Fair do's.

Have you got some cash you can lend him? And maybe put yourself forward when we "sack the board"?

I can not help but feel this is MP's get out clause.
"You sold me a dud therefore I am off"
He has never been to the UK so arriving here and actually seeing how things are must have been a shock.
The whole work ethic at the club, the unprofessional set up the dwindling fan base I bet he never expected that.
We have known about it for years but carry on, we have no choice we are mad deluded fans, MP can walk when he wants.
I really hope I am wrong as MP's Australian tell it as it is philosophy is what is needed at Salford.
Unfortunately in employee, employer power struggles there is normally only one winner.

I am surprised this has come as news to anyone. Harrison said this on taking up post in 2002. He wanted to change everything at the club from the retail and backroom onwards.

Parish has to realise that RL is a minority sport in england and even more so in Salford. The changes he wants are a long term project and we can't honestly expect John and Howard to fund this club to the degree Parish wants. We need a real money man like Moran for that.

I wish Matt the best as he could be the cataylist we need to push on. We need to encourage young players that Salford is a club they can trust their future to, and maybe airing all this in the public domain isn't the best way.
