Marshy1 I'll tell you straight. Enjoy your moment in the sun fella, it won't last long. Any intelligent person can see that you are simply 'taking the p1ss' just because Swinton have won a few games, and as (you have rightly but not solely pointed out) we appear to be imploding. It's not the least bit clever of you and it's not the least bit original. If Swinton had any recognisable success over the last 30-40 years, you might be justified in your sniping. As it is, it simply appears juvenile and silly. Find something else to amuse yourself as you've now become tiresome. All that being said, I'm looking forward to Wembley with you again, it's been a few years .....

I'll pay up soon mate, sooner still if Salford progress in the competition

very interesting what Luke Patten has had to say in the M E N.

"Some pretty big and important decisions need to be made at Salford sooner rather than later. "

"we've had to contend with different people taking charge and because everyone has their own coaching style and ideas we've been doing one thing and then we've had to do other things differently. "

obviously not typed the whole article, he does go on to say the players are to blame for missed tackles and dropped balls.

If the fans and players can see it why can't Simm's Alker and Wilky can't. I personally think Wilky and the board have not got the guts to make a change. Prove me wrong Wilky. It's going to come down to us fans again half time protest on Saturday to demand what the hell is going on.

It is a good article, spoken how he feels, just hope they go out & show the fans on Saturday.

Well there's a plea from the heart from someone who's opinion must be taken seriously

Time for the board to act decisively and get everyone - players, coaches, management and fans all singing from the same hymn sheet for once - will it happen?

think its a great article and reading you get the feeling that if he feels like that then everyone does!

we need to get behind the lads on saturday more than ever to show that we are here for them, despite whats going on off the field

You will be in Kilburn with the other Swinton fan.

I cant read mate

Does anybody else find it strange, Alker steps away from the scene and McRae starts talking about a return from sick leave? Could it be the club are trying decide where the problem lies McRae/Alker? Also, the players supposedly don't listen to McRae, and now we have a poster saying the players don't listen to Simms. Coincidences? I'm not sure, because I don't speak to any of the players. Someone on here stated, no coach would want to work with Steve Simms, whilst others state any new coach should be able to pick his own coaching team. What about, the idea Alker is making the head coaches job untenable.

I would point out, McRae and Harrison both lost the dressing room whilst Alker and Simms were at the club, now someone is suggesting the players don't want to listen to Simms. I'm not making accusations, but I could make the assumption, Lowes unsettled the dressing room in, a rather unsuccessful attempt to get the head coaches job, and it would appear Alker has possibly learnt a trick or two from Lowes.

Before anyone sticks up for alker, there were newspaper reports stating he had taken legal advice after the whole Floridagate saga, and once again Alker is taking legal advice, and the story has ended up in the Evening News.

Like I say don't have any inside info, and I'm not saying the facts reported are 100%, but they clearly point to Alker causing problems. We do, however, have a really talented squad of players, and shouldn't be taking the beatings we have this season. Individually, I can't see many players around Super League who would improve the squad. I thought we had a good squad in 2009, but Floridagate seemed to rip the heart and soul out of the team. Dressing room turmoil once again seems to be ripping the heart out of our team.

This is a far cry from only a few weeks back when you handed us are ar5es at the Willows, what's going on?!

Hopefully the situation is resolved in the not too distant, typical your problems come after playing us mind!

Ive been saying it for years.I think Malc was over-rated,loyal maybe, but over-rated non the less.I know for a fact he had a lot of influence over the past players [maybe not so this present squad .] e.g. losing the captaincy and getting re-instated three weeks later.Thats player power if ever I saw it.There is one bad apple in the barrel and it needs removing FAST !!!!
