Wouldnt matter who we appointed to be frank - the club desperately needs big new investment to be up with the big boys otherwise we have to be grateful for whats put in front of us. It's a major worry.

Are you certain ? for starters Kevin Penny wore a wakey shirt last season.
And you signed Jeremy Smith

Good luck to Vievers but I'm not exactly enthusiastic about his appointment. Salford need radical change from the outside, top to bottom and I can't see Veivers managing that. Also get the feeling that this is convenient for Simms as he can now claim to be an experienced head guiding a rookie HC through his first year.

Another season of dross awaits I'm sure anyway.

So what you're saying is you'd rather the club went bust/disappeared just so you can be proved right and the "do-gooders" (whatever that means in this context) are proved wrong?

I'm not at all happy with the way things are progressing (like everyone else who posts on here - "do-gooders" and "doom-mongers"icon_wink.gif but I'm hoping that the club directors and managers manage to turn it around before it is too late and will cling to that hope because it's the only option we, the fans, have unless we can scrape the money together to buy the club

Did you actually type that, or did you just mash your hand on the keyboard and hope for the best?

At the moment on here it does feel a bit like the special school teacher's left the kids alone and they've somehow managed to hook the BBC Micro up to the internet.

If, and/or when confirmed, it will prove that as a Club we have no money, no ambition and no intention of changing the culture of mediocrity that plagues us.

Stick your blue seats up your F***ing Ar*e!

This appointment doesn't surprise me at all and if I'm being honest I don't have a problem with Phil taking over. The players seem to like him and be on his side instead of fighting against him and that's half battle won IMO. I know player power shouldn't dictate who's in-charge but, if you have a good relationship with your team your more likely to get that extra 10/20% out of them. So IMO a good choice.

some of the comments on here, must have been the same with the intorduction of the spinning mule, the luddites are still out in force, look lads, lasses if you are not happy do what they did in Wigan when the price went up to £5.50, get a banner stating your point and stand outside the ground every match. In Wigan's case the banner read won't pay more than a fiver for Rugby League.
What would your banner state:-

"Sims otu"

"Mat Paris fore couch"

Confirmed rlhererl

Before the usual suspects come on to tell us how this is proof that the club is going to hell in a handcart, I'd like to be the first to say that I think this is good news. For me, the team showed enough improvement under him last year for it to have been a bit of a surprise he didn't get the job first time.
