Perhaps we should ask what McRae has got against our club, did we beat him at saints that cost him his job there?
have our supporters in the past upset him for some reason and now it is pay back time?
As a visiting coach did he bang his head on the changing room roof?
It reminds me of Brian Clough at Leeds, took the job but couldn't stand the club, I think we need to be told.

Ok, I'll butt out. Just trying to lend my support and encourage you guys.

Can anyone tell me what does Sims do for the team?He seems to have been at Salford for ages and served under a couple of coaches.(Harrison and Mc Rae)

Nothing apart from go on holiday to australia

its amazing this always seems to be the view of the LOSING away support

Nothing apart from go on holiday to australia


NUFF SAID!!Best one sentance reply on here for ages
The guy is laughing all the way to the bank.
Would be interesting to do a poll to actualy see how many fans think the guy is needed/worthy of employment at the club!??

Whereas Salford resembles the Bahamas

A lot of emotion shown tonight. Rightly so for the few of us who made the trek to Caravan Park. Let me just make a couple of observations though at this stage :-


Steve Simms

Has nothing to do with coaching. Has nothing to do with selecting the team. Has nothing to do with selecting the players to be signed. He organises all the playing administration which is plentiful nowadays and has taken a lot of work off the Chairman so he can concentrate more on his business which happily makes more money than Salford and also provides less stress.

Shaun McRae

Coaches, selects the team, selects the players to be signed.

who do yo u think told sir john to give mcrae the job then

so if simms has nothing to do with coaching/who we sign/team selection....why does he tail behind mcrae everywhere?
Perhaps he could give it up for a week and next week at gateshull we could do a raffle and the winner gets to be steve simms for the day!!go in the dressing rooms walk across the pitch holding mcraes hand,helping the fat old loaf up the steps into the stand and giving him a comentry on what is going on in the game as he is quite clearly blind to see what is going on in front of him!!!!
Quality idea hey???£5 a go all money raised goes towards paying mcrae off!!!
perhaps shirley could sought something out

I wasnt defending Steve Simms I was merely pointing out what his job entails. As Fatboys Limb points out its akin to Kenyon being sacked when Scolari was dismissed.

He is Football Director and therefore he should be seen to be with the coach. Sir Alan Sugar doesnt walk around with his employees he gets the other two to follow them and report back to Him. I can only presume SS reports back to JAW with info about what is going on as well. JAW cannot be everywhere.

dont recall kenyon stepping in for a couple of games while chelsea get a new coach there for why does simms if he has nothing to do with it

Whatever Simms does or doesent do neither he nor McCrae drop balls, miss tackles, give away penalties or generally @rse around the pitch for eighty minutes trying to keep their shirts clean. Now i dont believe that McCrae can turn it around this year. For whatever reason the players dont seem to be a happy bunch with each other, and maybe he will not be around come the second season we play but the players not doing the basics is killing us. It has become obvious (to me anyway) that a combination of poor recruitment and some players from last year not being able to step up has along with having less money than most left us way behind where we would want to be. Poor old Myler must be really looking forward to taking the field every week just to try his nuts off for no reward. I have said elsewher on this board that i have written off the season as i cant see this group of players improving enough to become competative. We will get more thumpings and that will not attract fans will it. I have no idea of where we begin to put it right but i will still turn up at home games but spending the season as Super Leagues equivelant of the school spanner is not one i am looking forward to.

How much is it in your crap cold ground this year?
