Quote: sally cinnamon "Totally agree what about Jimmy Lowes, up coming BRITISH and knows the game inside out. Or what about Denis Betts, an ex Salford lad? Could do worse than get Steve McCormack back - he is a 10 years more experienced coach than he was at Salford last time. Or what about Iestyn Harris - could be a potential superstar coach given a good ground and some money to spend.

Whats the worst that could happen? Salford be underachievers, scrapping at the bottom of the table, everyone slagging Simms off. Big deal thats what will happen if you get an Aussie coach anyway and it will be one less thing to whinge about with him being British.

Look at the Premiership.....13 titles to British managers, 6 titles to foreigners. Say no more. British is best.'"


Is that the most 'straight-faced' wind-up I've ever read on here, or have you been sniffing glue?

See this is the problem attitude. You just discount people because they are British. If I'd suggested Bruce Didgeridoo who was assistant coach at the Gabba Gabba Dingoes in the Country Bogun League, you'd all be going, yeah this guy sounds good, get him in, he might be able to bring some signings with him from his old club.

But when someone mentions BRITISH coaches who have a background in winning trophies (Lowes Betts and Harris could all come in and say 'show us yer medals' to any players who thought they were too big for their boots) then you just discount them.

Other names to consider:
Matt Calland (won Championship Grand Final with Halifax)
Daryl Powell (look how strong Featherstone have been since he was there) or Ryan Sheridan who has been Powell's assistant and surely looking for a head coaches job in the future
Karl Harrison (done a good job with Batley, has previous experience with a top 5 side in SL)
Paul March (another good up and coming coach, won National League One with Hunslet)

I'd prefer a bit of due diligence (a radical concept at Salford) rather than just assuming he's rubbish because we've never heard of him.

Who has he worked under?
How have the teams he has coached (at lower levels) performed?
Is anyone with credibility supporting him?

Can you go and patronise someone else, you bore.

Reading your post, you appear to have a limited view of the role of coaches, so I cannot accept your views as having any credibility.

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



Quote: Marshy1 "If your going to take a gamble on a young up and coming coach you might as well give a home grow talent a chance.'"


The club have already gone down this route in the past when they appointed Steve McCormack and it didn't work.

I'm sure that your right PF. However you have to worry about the quality of those that apply.

Do people seriously think we will attract the cream of the crop to the club, the Bellamy's or the Cartwright's? And are we truly in a position to be so snooty as to denigrate and poo-poo any potential/possible applicants?

I don't care who applies so long as there is a right and proper procedure in place in picking the next coach and its not a) someone at the clubs mate and/or b) the cheapest option.

One thing is certain, this is a very important decision for the club to make with a lot riding on it. New stadium, new era, 3 yr franchise (hope) some money to splash around (again I hope), there are only so many positions open is SL.
I just hope they get it right, unlike my football club Bolton did when employing the genius Megson !
