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

You may not read this but just incase you do, you'll find a majority of supporters who dont post on here don't feel like you, take your rose tinted glasses off.

First accept sadness. Realise that without losing 70% of the time, winning wouldn't be such a relief.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32990.jpg



I think the expectations from the fans this season were not too high. I feel the unrest and justifiable criticism after the last 3 games is down to the supporters witnessing a distinct lack of team spirit, effort and some truly awful defensive play.

Who knows maybe it's a blessing in disguise that these problems have come to light early in this 3-year franchise period, allowing the club to address immediately where they are going wrong and what they can do to improve and catch up?

I think of equal concern to the club right now is the risk of losing valuable support and revenue at a time when the club really needs it.

If you have a better solution I'm all ears??? . . . wealthy salford tycoon's haven't exactly been cueing up down Willows Road in the last 25 years with open cheque books, wanting to take over have they? icon_wink.gif FGS the club can't even attract any new directors prepared to give a few grand a year let alone a new owner!

Should we not be applauding the Chairman's generosity and commitment to this club over many years, rather than taking cheap shots when the chips are down? . . . Or is there an ulterior motive behind these personal attacks in the hope JW will respond by digging even deeper into his pockets for us? eusa_think.gif

We can only spend a % of what we earn, salary cap springs to mind icon_confused.gif if you know any world class players that want to play for us on less money than the big clubs are offering , then please let the club know.
If sir john could spend the max salary then he would, but there is still no guarentee they will want to play for us, stop blaming wilkinson.

Then again, the majority of supporters simply don't post on here, not by a long way. The Turkey is representative of the opinions of about 20 people. Of those, I reckon 8 could consistently write something worth reading. The rest just pop in here to indulge in whining, gloating, p*ss-taking and all the other playground stuff that every message board suffers.

My tuppence - Our City doesn't deserve a club as good as the one we currently have. Questioning the running of it, when it shouldn't (by sense and rights) even exist as a professional outfit, is the very definition of diluded.

SALFORD RLFC MEANS THE WORLD TO ME AS IT HAS DONE SINCE I WAS A LITTLE BOY DURING THE GREAT ERA OF OUR GREAT CLUB DURING THE SEVENTIES, BUT LETS LOOK AT FACTS
HOW MANY COACHES ;;;; FAR TOO MANY

HOW MANY CHAMPIONSHIPS ;;;;; FAR TOO FEW

34 YEARS WITHOUT THE TITLE ;;;;;

I THINK WE HAVE BEEN PATIENT ENOUGH

LETS SORT THIS MESS OUT

Quote: smithy68 "MR WILKY 25 YEARS

.......and I suppose that in the last 25 years, Halifax, Hudds, Wakey, Widnes, Leigh, Warrington, Swinton, Rochdale, Oldham etc etc etc have won plenty.

Whilst I am just as brassed off with the current situation as anyone who comes on here, surely it's not difficult to recognise that without the backing of JW, we would almost certainly by now be facing the scrapheap, like a fair few former great clubs.

It doesn't take a genius to see that our recruitment policy, no matter who has been coach, has been something of a disaster. And yes, perhaps JW's backing on many of these is, with hindsight, hard to understand, but it's quite likely that he is putting faith in others to make quality signings.

He may not have transformed this club into a silverware machine, but it's odds on that he has kept it alive for us.

Unless you can personally do better, lay off the fella FGS icon_rolleyes.gif

Quote: smithy68 "MR WILKY 25 YEARS

And who, exactly, would've won us more titles? Who else was lining up with pockets full of money to take this club forward?

No one.

We have a salary cap to contend with. We cannot expect Wilky to constantly plough his own cash into the club - as I've said before, his pockets aren't bottomless.
A few months ago we were all glad to be back in Super League and have the chance to slowly build the club up. We're never, realistically, going to be a Saints or a Leeds - we don't have the support, nor the interest of the general Salford public. That isn't Wilky's fault, unless you're going to somehow blame him for the general apathy of the Salford public?

But hey, if you can find someone out there willing to plow millions upon millions into the club with no danger of running out of cash whilst circumventing the salary cap then bring them in.
