Quote: eccles star "The club did not like what matt Parrish said so they got rid of him now they don't like the fans for speaking the truth I hope he tells them to stick the season ticket. The club don't give a crap as long as there taking your money. Everyone is expecting club to win but you don't file a winding up order at a cost without evidence. The problem is the club they brought them in to help finances and they action the company must have took would benefit the club but as normal the club trample all over everyone trying to help I hope fans boycott season tickets until the club learn to listen to supporters I won't ever go again now been ticket holder for 20 years I only fell out with club the way it treated matt parish. This club is total crap at listening and if I remember rightly they sold the club to Parrish and they lied to him. As far as I am concerned the club don't deserved. As for your club Wakefield I feel the RFl should have done more to help Wakefield but as small clubs don't matter to RFl and big clubs do the gap is getting wider between bottom and top when should have made an even competition. They ruined rugby league for me'"
The Parish appointment was never going to work due to the fact we didn't even do any homework on Parish he wasn't even on our short list , Gentle was our Man and all we needed to do was forward him the contract ,But in true Salford style we stuffed that up when a certain football director told blatant lies and our beloved board instead were on a sightseeing tour of Sydney.this was followed by a gentle mans agreement to return Gentles call ASAP, and once more Salford weren't professional enough to do this so Gentle told them where to stick it.
Parish was the emergency signing as somebody put his name in the frame and before you know it he's signed under the impression Salford were due major financial input and we were one of SuperLeagues model clubs.
Parish as a person was volatile and off the wall, challenging players and allegedly drinking every night and trying to socialise with players as a mate ,then turning on them when they didn't take up the offer to go on a booze crawl.
I do respect parish for telling Wilky and a simms to keep their nose out, and he did infact order that Wilky,Simms and Clague be locked out of the changing rooms. You can guess that this was the beginning of the end for Matt.
For too long Our club has been mismanaged and quite frankly been a PR disaster , Only saying what it wants and dismissing the supporters as unimportant ,even more so with The move to the "Iconic" stadium that we knew we couldn't afford but took a gamble that could ultimately signal the death of Salford RLFC as we know it.
